Re: Dwarf Burmese Pythons
In either case (Dwarf burm or Dwarf Retic) - it's best to make sure you are getting pure(100%) Dwarf. Sometimes people will claim it is a Dwarf, when the actual parentage is actually only 50-75% Dwarf - the other 25-50 % is the larger mainland counterparts.
So you end up with a 1/2 or 3/4 dwarf specimen which will grow larger than a typical dwarf but still be bit smaller than the typical mainland version. This is especially a problem with the dwarf & super dwarf retics - as they have been around much longer. And often are seen in various morphs - as most of morphs of the dwarf and super dwarf retics are the result of crossing mainlands (P.r.reticulatus). The result - people end up with 14-16+ foot (so called) dwarf retics.
With half (50%) Dwarf Burms - they usually won't get more than 9-10 feet (for very large female).
