is their any proof on their adult size and what is it aprox,seems to good to be true.Any info please.
 
Im not an expert but i dont think they are that much smaller than retics themselves.

If anything if you want Faunaclassifieds.com and kingsnake.com have alot of experts for this kind of like how mfk has them for fish they always help answer my questions for my reptiles. Good luck
 
Depends on the animal and who you buy from.
Buying a dwarf retic kind of negates ther point of even getting a retic though.
Plus, dwarfs are quite a bit more flighty and have a higher feeding response than normal retics.

Get a nice tiger.
:D
 
Dwarfs regularly maintain a length of 10 - 12 feet, for females...smaller for males. Super Dwarfs rarely get more than 8 feet, for females...smaller for males.

And, there's no substantial evidence saying they're more flighty or have a higher feed response.

I have regular retics, dwarf and super dwarf. Each snake has it's own personality and demeanor.

The prices for Dwarf and Super Dwarf have considerably declined, as long as you're wanting a normal and not an albino or some other extravagant color morph.
 
I still wouldn't recommend a dwarf or super dwarf for a first retic.
 
I've owned both (regular and dwarf) and also saw no difference in feeding response. I think they are all you could want in a retic just with out the size that many people can't handle.
 
yea Im pretty sure to start with a smaller animal is a bit smarter
 
I'm just not a fan of how dwarfs behave.
To me, they're a completely different animal.
Specially Jampeas, every Jamp I know is very flighty compared to a normal.

Besides, a dwarf retic and even super dwarfs are not small snakes by any means, and have lovely curved teeth.
 
I wanted to add though, if you get a sd or jamp used to make a morph they will be somewhat calmer.
Mainlaind blood seems to help calm them down.
