In this episode, they explore the fascinating and complex history of legally importing Reticulated Pythons into the United States, leading up to the eventual Lacey Act ban on importation. \nChapter 7 details what it took for passionate keepers and importers to bring these incredible animals into the country, navigating strict regulations and extensive logistical challenges. The story takes on a personal note as it highlights a special group of Kalaotoa locality retics known as the Reach Dreams Male and Female—a pair carefully held back by Dan Mulleary of DM Exotics, later sold to the late Forrest Fanning of Zoo Dreams, and finally given to Garrett Hartle of Reach Out Reptiles. This pair has since contributed their rare genetic lineage to Garrett’s breeding projects, carrying on a unique legacy of the last legally imported Kalaotoa Retics in the U.S.\nFor those fascinated by the rich history and impact of these remarkable retics, don’t miss this in-depth discussion!\nCheck out DM Exotics on YouTube: [DM Exotics](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2m8F6UFnmMMD3G9M9RZHKQ)\nListen to The Chondro Lounge's interview with Dan Mulleary: [The Chondro Lounge - Dan Mulleary Episode](https://thechondrolounge.com/episode-dan-mulleary)\nDon't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE!\nJoin The Lounge TODAY!\n- Best Retic Discord\n- Early access to episodes\n- Member meetings\n- Extra TRL content\n[Join us on Patreon](http://www.patreon.com/thereticlounge)\nFind us on Instagram:\n- [TheReticLounge](https://www.instagram.com/TheReticLounge)\n- [Lab_Exotics_](https://www.instagram.com/Lab_Exotics_)\n- [Katz_Reptiles](https://www.instagram.com/Katz_Reptiles)\nSupport USARK and USARK Florida:\n- [Join USARK](https://usark.org/memberships)\n- [Join USARK...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/necT7sDFgIp0TbdDah5tDkZq8JWydHDj1rsXb_-CPt8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ5ODE1LzE3MDgw/Mzc1NTUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
