Here's my 50% dwarf Burm and my 50% superdwarf, 25% Jampea Retic. Let me know what you think! Some of these are a little dated, I'll get more up soon.

Perry, the burm, is a 2010 and a bit under six feet. Columbus, the retic, is a 2009 and a bit over seven feet.

Nice to see a beautiful normal burm, everyone seems to go for the albino but i much prefer the natural look :)

I agree normal burms are my favorite although I think greens are stunning to how is he to handle I've heard that some dwarf,s can be quite a handful. And the tiger is stunning my favorite retic morph of all time

Thanks everyone! Dave, he's normally quite easy to handle, a little hissing but not anything you wouldn't expect from any burm.

Thanks for the info I was looking at a pair of dwarfs not to long ago but most people told me they were chainsaws I guess its just a bad rep they have

I know that feeling... I can't wait to move somewhere where I can at least get some beautiful dwarfs or superdwarfs.

I live in Florida, and didn't get my permit in time before the ban took effect.

regrettably, the people who passed and enforce these laws don't know, nor do they care about these. If you have retics or burms, its all the same to them, whether they grow to 6 ft or 16 ft, they don't care.

OP, you have some amazing looking animals. I recognize them from another forum I'm on and I maintain what I said over there, they're stunning.

Sadly, I'm well aware of this. :(

I love BRBs! I've got a pair and they just glow! That said, retics have some really impressive iridescence too, some of the morphs glow nearly as nicely as BRBs. There are some great BRB keepers/breeders on this forum.

That's it. This thread pushed me to FINALLY apply for my "Conditional Species Permit" for the state of Florida. I've been putting it off for so long because I really don't want to have an FWC officer traipsing around my snake room to get the approval, but it's easier than moving to a different state. :p

Congrats! Keep us posted and best of luck! Any idea what species you want to get if you get approval?

I'm really looking for pure SuperDwarf retics, and I also want to get a few molurus progschai (Dwarf tiger python/Dwarf Burm). I want to work on a breeding program with them because I LOVE the look of the big guys, but I also like being able to take them out for cage cleaning without a team behind me. :laugh:

Ha ha, that's EXACTLY my position. I just wish my P. m. progschai wasn't so defensive, cleaning is... interesting... lol. Where are you located? I know people who have both species all across the country, I'll see if I know someone in your area.
Good pics and gorgeus snakes

I'm in sunny Daytona Beach. :p Like I said, I still have to wait for my license to come in, but any names and contact info would be greatly appreciated!

I'll see what I can scrounge up for ya.
That's got to be some of the nicest patterning I've seen on a burm...
Totally jealous.
