He's gorgeous :D

[Concept9]

Very nice, congrats. :)

[rocknhorse76]

Very cool.

[MDT]

Can't wait to pair him with my 50% Jamp female!!! It's gonna be awhile, tho...

[rocknhorse76]

That pairing should produce some very nice D/SD babies.

[MDT]

more....

May I ask how old he is? :)

[MDT]

it's a 2013 hatch....pretty young. I didn't get a hatch date.

[Donnie]

Congratulations, he looks great

[brylecc1989]

Absolutely gorgeous. About how big will he get being a super dwarf male? Like 6-7ft?

[bigsnakegirl785]

He's beautiful! Congrats! :D

[Lupinus]

Very nice!:cool:

[smy_749]

Pure SD? I'm jelly... :/ Gratz mang

[MDT]

Yep, pure SD :)

I was looking for a SD male and I emailed Bob and he had this guy.

[millertime89]

Its not a pure SD, there are no pure SD albinos. It can't happen because albino is not a superdwarf gene, its not even a dwarf gene.

[Amadeus]

I would love to get an SD retic in the future =]

[MDT]

Whatever....Just going by what I was told by Bob Clark.
Regardless, I'm pleased w him.

[Amadeus]

Just going by what I was told...

I've heard that Bob Clark is petty trustworthy guy in my limited reticulatus readings. Any way it's still a beautiful animal =]

[brylecc1989]

Hopefully he's a dwarf, if that's what you were expecting. It would really suck to order a 7 foot snake and get a 17-27 foot snake lol

[MDT]

I don't think I'm going to have a 17 foot snake....at least I hope not. :)

[millertime89]

You might want to ask Bob again then because I 100% guarantee you that you can not have a 100% pure SD that is het for albino.
Definitely won't hit 17ft either, males almost never get that big to begin with, then you add in the SD blood (its there, the color and pattern are spot on for a cross) and it'll stay small. I would venture under 10ft is a safe bet, although without knowing the exact parentage I can't say.

Vitalexotics told me that most of retics, even the mainlands,typically don't get bigger than 10 feet or something (can't remember the exact number he said) Edit: I mean males ofcourse ...

Travis kubes did just have a clutch of 100% pure SD's hatch out. I asked because I wasn't aware there was het albino pure sds...

[smy_749]

You should probably just send him to me for free, and get a 100% SD. You can't be too careful, and we have to think about whats best for you and the future of the snake. I'm willing to take him off your hands no charge because you never know, he could be an 18 footer in a few years...(disclaimer: I'm joking).

Dude....I was *this* close to sending it your way ;)

[smy_749]

I dont have room for him. Since hes going to be 18 feet long and what not. My whole apartment is probably 18 square feet lol

[guyabano]

That grainy stripe he's got going is awesome. Congratulations!

Ok...clarification from Bob Clark: 50% SD

[millertime89]

Travis lives 2 hours from me, I was 1 week too early to be there when he cut that clutch... You have no idea how disappointed I was when he told me they pipped 5 days after I was there and I was out of town that weekend. :unhappy:

Haha, that sucks. I haven't ever seen a pure SD hatchling out of the egg, how small are they inch wise? Do you know how much longer till he starts shipping them out ?

[MDT]

It would appear on his FB page that they are being shipped, or at least available...

[smy_749]

They are available but I doubt he is shipping anything until they have a shed/meal or a couple even. Who knows though, I was supposed to get a 1.1 pair but living on your own costs a bit more than I anticipated so although I have the money aside, I don't wanna blow till I know what I need each month :-/

[millertime89]

They're a few months old, he won't ship until they're eating and shedding so if he's shipping, they've eaten. Baby pure SDs are tiny, similar weight to BPs but longer and thinner. Like maybe a nickle size in diameter, I'm not 100% sure, but tiny.
