    Re: pull the trigger on this het albino SD retic?

    I've heard that if a SD retic is a morph or carries the genes for a morph its not a true SD and may be only part dwarf. I'm not sure if that's still true now. I don't think super dwarfs have been in the hobby long enough for there to be many morphs (if any). Only localities.

    True dwarf retics don't come in morphs. They're crossbred with the larger locality morph animals, couldn't say how large the partial dwarf snakes get, but a true SD retic won't get any longer than 4'-5'. Simple Man has a pair of true dwarf retics, and was really informative when I was looking into it
