About
The Kayuadi Island Reticulated Pythons went from being the first superdwarves to be imported, to barely existing at all in captivity. From outcrossing, and lack of proper attention to the preservation of pure bloodlines, the Kayuadi’s have almost disappeared in North America. [1]
Kayuadi is an isolated island east of Selayar and Tanahjampea They are said to get no longer than 10’ and remain extremely thin bodied for a Retic. Hopefully this will hold true with captive breeding, unlike the Jampeas. Pattern and color is similar to the Jampeas. [2]
History
Bushmaster Reptiles had imported two gravid female Kayuadi Reticulated Pythons from then Island of Kayuadi. The females produced clutches of 9 and 11 eggs.
