Free Roaming Retics?! | Out-of-the-Box Keeping w/ Nikki of Ladytis Exotics | The Retic Lounge #130 

In this episode of The Retic Lounge, we sit down with Nikki of @ladytis_exotics to explore her unique and unconventional approach to keeping Reticulated Pythons. Nikki is known for thinking outside the box when it comes to husbandry, and she shares her experiences with free-roaming retics, creating a more interactive and enriching environment, and treating these incredible animals as true pets rather than just display reptiles.  

Topics Covered:  
- The philosophy behind free-roaming and giving retics more space  
- Benefits of a more hands-off, trust-building approach to socialization  
- How to create a safe and enriching environment for a free-roaming retic  
- Challenges and misconceptions about treating retics as pets  
- The balance between structure and freedom in retic husbandry  

Nikki’s passion for her animals shines through as she shares insights into the deep bonds she’s formed with her snakes and how she believes this approach leads to happier, healthier retics. Whether you’re curious about alternative husbandry methods or looking for ways to build a stronger relationship with your retic, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
