Reticulated Python | Female Purple Platty Pied Morph Meet Sunflower, my longest snake who just keeps growing! 🌻 She joined the family in March 2024, and every day she gets a little longer, which is wild to watch. With her stunning purple platty pied morph, she’s a beauty. But don’t let her calm demeanor fool you—her food drive is insane. If she’s hungry, you better watch out because she’s all business. Definitely a force to be reckoned with! #retic #reticulatedpythonsofinstagram #reticulated py
