This was a pleasn't surprise this morning, Walked in to find this Super Dwarf female in the process of depositing her eggs. She was bred with an albino Dwarf male wich was obtained from Bob clark earlier this year. She is using a cat litter box, as a nest box...so that will give you some idea of her size.

Right on Chris it looks like our little project is working out well.

Here is another super dwarf female which laid her eggs two days prior to the one above. This one was bred to a super dwarf male.

The female super dwarf I kept here with me was the the larger of the two and is approx 8 feet in length. The female which I sent to Chris on breeding loan and was ultimately bred by the albino dwarf was slightly smaller in around 7 and 7.5 feet.

Both of the females are approx 6 years of age and raised from tiny wild caught hatchlings. All have been very well fed for the last 6 years and especially this past year leading up to the breeding season.

If you look at there ages and the feeding they have received they are true dwarfs and will not be getting much bigger.

The male super dwarfs are a hair over five feet and weigh only a few pounds. Not much bigger than a large cornsnake.

I put a tape on this girl Dan, and she is 6.5' in length, for 6 years old, that is amazingly small ! I was always a little leary of the size, retics obtain..but after working with these guys, thats no longer an issue. They are still beautifull animals just in a smaller package...i can't wait to see what comes from the het to het breeding.
