So are there such things as dwarf burmese pythons?

[msubigdawg]

I was curious as to whether there are such things as dwarf burmese pythons. If so then where can they be found and how common are they? Also how much do they cost and how are they produced?
Thank you

Yes, they are on KS every once in a while, and yes they are a true island form

yes, they exist. they may even be a distinct subspecies. only a few ppl sell them, and they are very expensive.

Well I'ld expect them to be a ssp.,,, I mean Jampea retics are a ssp, and imo all locale forms of retics should be as they vary greatly, but yeah back on topic the dwarfs are real, I seen em before, they are definetly older looking, yet in a small body, so at 3 ft, they have a much larger girth than a norm, they kind of remind me of a het granite, but with idk hard to describe, with like an old world style touch to them, idk hard to explain.

Definately remind me of het granit burms. Go to Bob Clark's main page and scroll down to the bottom, he has a pic of one of them up. It will be interesting to see how big they get in captivity under ideal conditions and feeding.
