Episode 121: Captive Husbandry of Reticulated Pythons | TRL Book Club Chapter 8

Lucas and Nathan close out 2024 with a bang in the final episode of the year! Join us for another insightful installment of The Retic Lounge Book Club as we dive into Chapter 8 of *The Complete Reticulated Python by Glen McClellan: *Captive Husbandry.

This chapter is a treasure trove of knowledge, covering every aspect of keeping Reticulated Pythons in captivity, with a focus on elevating our care standards. From caging options—analyzing density, weight, heat retention, and price—to exploring substrates and their effectiveness in maintaining humidity, bioactive setups, and naturalistic enclosures, this episode has it all.

We also delve into the fascinating world of cleanup crews and plants that can enrich a captive Retic’s environment, creating spaces that are not only functional but also enriching for these magnificent snakes.

Thank you for an incredible year! We wish all of our listeners a happy holiday season and a blessed new year. Get ready—2025 is going to be packed with even more exciting content, episodes, and projects from *The Retic Lounge Network.*
