Justva quick question. How was the first SD retic produced? Is it the same as a dwarf human?

Re: First SD retcic

There are "mainland" retics which come from the mainland, they tend to be the giants, and Locale retics which are normally gotten on islands, like Jampea and Seleyar, the island locales tend to be much smaller, and some locales are smaller then others... Sulawesi retics for example get MASSIVE....

Re: First SD retcic

regulars get to 16? 8 isn't too bad, I know the regulars can get to 28 so I thought the dwarfs would top out around 15 or so.

Re: First SD retcic

The RECORD holding retic is Fluffy at 25 feet, Harry has the only 25 foot monster that isn't overweight (we are sure hes 25 feet, just hasn't been measured yet) and there are another half dozen snakes over 23 feet.

The 28 foot snake was a myth, when a snakes skin is tanned it gets stretched and can get about 50% longer then it originally was.

Mainlands generally get to 17 feet for females, but can get to 23+
Dwarves can get to 17 feet but 12 is more of an average
SDs can get to 10 but generally get to 6-8

Re: First SD retcic

TONS, but if I were you i'd go with someone on Kingsnake.com with some good vouches, you will spend a third the money. MAKE SURE ITS 100% SUPERDWARF. They will sometimes call it a superdwarf and then add the locales involved in the breeding.
If you aren't sure, add me on facebook and give me a link to the ad, I'll check it for you.
