Pythons Questions

What is a Tiger Python? A Super Tiger?

Is there a real difference between a Dwarf and a Super Dwarf?

I just got my Colubrids but I'm thinking of either a Carpet or one of the others listed above depending on size, humidity requirements, etc.

Something along the lines of 6-12 ft max.

I think you may mean a tiger reticulated python. It's a pattern morph, and super tiger is the homozygous form of the tiger morph.

Super dwarf retics can stay 10' or under, and dwarves can get 15'+.

If you want 6'-12' max and are looking at retics, get either a pure SD or an SD mix with at least 50% SD blood. The more, the better. They also require very high humidity, I'd say 70-80% and no less than 60%. They will have a bad shed if the humidity falls too low quicker than something with similar humidity needs like a boa constrictor will.

Thanks for the info!

Don't want a 'big' snake, and needed some more facts,before reaching out to someone about a purchase.

Put a feeler out to Bob Clark about two of his SDs. I'll see what he writes back.

Did you hear back yet? I actually sent an email to Bob today before seeing this thread. I'm in a similar position as you and I'm interested to hear about your research!

Thanks!

Speak of the devil...Mr. Clark responded back today! And darn my luck...they were ALL sold.

But, Bob did say he had some hatching in June. I told him to keep me up to date.
