Episode 111: Book Club - The Complete Reticulated Python Chapters 1 & 2

In this exciting new episode of The Retic Lounge, Lucas and Nathan kick off a brand-new book club series, diving into the long-anticipated release of *The Complete Reticulated Python* by our good friend Glen McClellan. This comprehensive guide to the natural history, captive care, and breeding of the world’s largest snake is the most extensive work ever published on these fascinating animals, and we’re here to break it down chapter by chapter.

In Episode 111, we explore the first two chapters:
- Chapter 1: Taxonomy, Toponymy, Phylogeny, and the Species’ Range – A deep dive into the evolutionary relationships and geographical range of reticulated pythons.
- Chapter 2: The Selayar Islands, Their People, Their Climate, and Their Snakes – An exploration of the unique island environment where some of the most iconic locality reticulated pythons come from.

Join us as we discuss Glen’s detailed research and uncover fascinating insights about the species we all know and love. Whether you’re new to retics or a seasoned keeper, this episode offers a wealth of information as we begin our journey through *The Complete Reticulated Python*.
