Finally got some good pics of this guy during a move today...been with me 7yrs now and still only 18"-20". Not positive what sp. he is exactly but his pattern/look has always been unique.

Reminds me of my Terroristo. 2.5'. Probably about the same age.

He had a bit of a duck bill / camel face so I'm not sure if his skull proportions can be used in ID.

I always thought reticulatum. No?

Def very similiar... so hard 2 know for sure with all the hybrids that occur. i always classified one of my others as retic... he grew much larger in the same time tho so id suspect he was a hybrid corruscansxretic as he looked a bit different aside from size. I guess as always time will tell to see how this one changes... hes the only 1 i have left so time 2 beef him up.

Yes but not only that, we get underperformers of all kinds and sorts in our trade from the farm industry.

In theory yours and mine could be a genuine species, just a "dwarf" of sort, yours "dwarfer" than mine :) but yours is alive and mine is gone :(

I doubt we'd be ever able to tell barring a DNA investigation, in which neither you nor me will ever invest.

One probably needs to get several dozen or a hundred of (sub)adult TSNs from all over the US to see how many similar and dissimilar are out there. You were the closest to that goal I've ever known, but your TSN collection no more... and it's ok.
