Genetic stripe Het Albino SD 'Hiro'

**Tsubaki** · 03-25-16, 11:49 AM

Realised i have not updated about little Hiro since i got him, so here's an update with proper pictures!.. he is doing very well, eats and sheds like a champ.. He tries to eat anyone who walks by at night (which due to his size, is very cute) But is very easy to handle. As you can see he is holding in quite a load, and he ended up soiling my cow blanket..

What big eyes! lol He's got a short little snout, too. He's definitely got that baby look. Genetic stripes are definitely one of my favorite retic morphs.

He really does have that baby look going on, and with his small size it is adorable

i love Genetic stripes too.

Yeah so do i, i think it's awesome he has a bit of everything that genetics stripes can have.. The broad striping on the neck, followed by the highly irregular striping and then pinstriping, all on one animal. Every inch in different and that makes him very interesting to me.

You're a terrible influence!! Get too big for me to care for. I'll have turned to live vicariously through you.

And how dwarfy is a SD?

**Tsubaki** · 03-26-16, 01:45 PM

6-8 ft.. For a true SD, they are very slender snakes though. A 8ft retic is very very small compared to a 8ft boa constrictor. Very important to get one from a reputable breeder if you truly want a animal that stays manageable.

I don't think I'm ready for a snake that size. I'll live vicariously through you, right now my BP is the biggest snake I have. My boa is still a noodle.

This is my 8' 50% super dwarf retic. He's a very manageable size. Most people are put off when they hear about snakes being 8,9, even 10'. But it's really subjective to the species. An eight foot Burmese or Boa Constrictor is built much different than a retic.

trailblazer295 · 03-28-16, 04:02 PM

Wow I thought they were a much heavier bodied snake, I would have figured he'd be double or triple the width. That appears a manageable size.
