Question about % dwarf and super dwarf...

[cchardwick]

So I just got my female albino 50% dwarf (Jampea) reticulated Python hatchling in the mail today, it's still in the box because I don't want to open it up here at work LOL!! Anyway, I'm thinking of crossing it with a 50% super dwarf. Would that give me offspring that are 25% dwarf and 25% super dwarf? And if I grew up those babies and crossed them with the 50% super dwarf what would I get??

32.5% SD, 12.5% Dwarf would be the result of offspring x 50% SD, which would honestly not be worth classifying as SD or Dwarf at that point. Too much mainland circulating it.

25% SD 25% D 50% Mainland, will still be ever as large as a 50% Jampea which is still large. Until you integrate second generation 50% SD blood, the lines stay above 10' in my experienced opinion.

That's a good point about not being classified as dwarf or super dwarf when you start mixing them. Perhaps I should stick with all 50% dwarf retics to keep the genetics a bit simpler.
