It is actually reticulated, and it is referring to the patterns on their
skin. It doesn't have anything to do with pythons per se. There are also
reticulated giraffes.

Reticulated actually means "net-like"....referring to the pattern.

Reticulated means "net like" and when it is used in reference to the
Reticulated Python (whose scientific name is PYTHON RETICULATUS) it is
actually describing the scale coloration pattern.
