    Sizes of 25%, 50%, 75% SD Retics?

    I was just curious, how long do these snakes get? I know they probably won't reach the length of a normal Retic or a SD Retic, does anyone know approximately how long? Thanks!

    I can't speak for everyone but my yearling 50% SD 25% Jamp het albino female is right at about 5 feet, she isn't powerfed and isn't fed the bare minimum either.

    And I remember seeing a video of a 7 year old female of the same percentages as my girl who was 10 feet.

    If its any help 100% SDs get about 6 foot max and dwarfs get about 12 foot max (info I learned from some folks that work with them, I dont have any yet but I do have future plans that include them). I suppose you could get an estimate off of that info if you do math but I am not sure how accurate that would be.

    In the research I have done, it seems that "experts" on the subject say there is no such thing as dwarf or super dwarf. It is a term that is used to describe certain localities of retics. Apparently the "mainland" retics are the monsters and some that came from surrounding islands are a smaller variety. The super dwarf is something that has been brought in by line breeding the smaller varieties into even smaller specimens. I am no expert on the subject at all, but this is what I have found when trying to figure out how big my "dwarf" will get. There are those that will say that one will get that big, and this one will stay smaller. But from the people that seem to know exactly what they are talking about, it seems its hard to say exactly what size any individual will be!
    5.3 normals, 3.1 mojave, 2.4 pastels, 1.0 yellow belly, 1.1 cinnamon, 1.1 het pied, 1.0 pastel/yellowbelly
    Also: Burmese, Retic, RTBs, kenyans, dumerils, hognose, corns, milk, king, uromastyx, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, dart frogs, tortoises, tarantulas, cockatiels, reef tanks, dogs, cats, chickens, goat, rats and???
