This is it...It is a 2012 male Platinum Retic. It's from Vital Exotics originally (I it bought from the purchaser) and the paperwork indicates dwarf, however, it doesn't specify locale or %. Regardless, I've been looking for a platinum to plug in eventually to my female. :)

Cell phone pics and the thing would not stop moving...sorry for the so-so pics....

All time favorite retic morph right there. Congrats. Hit up Kris, he keeps pretty detailed records and he might be able to tell you what %dwarf it is.

I can't afford to get more right now, but who knows. I have empty spaces in a rack, but can't put anything in it without quarantine, and have no space to quarantine :-/ Hopefully I'll have a few little snakelings from my pair next year. Its crazy, they are full grown, the female is 113 grams and the male is 95 lol


And everyone has a right to be jealous of the retics, though admittedly these new ants are really somethin else lol
