Opinion On the Super Dwarf Retics

Well i made some calls and some pulled a few strings and found a place to get superdwarf tics and i could get them for a 1000 a pop. Ima get me a super dwarf tic anyways. but i was wondering what would be some opinions on breeding super dwarf tics in the future. theres a few boa's and ball breeders in the area id just like to be diffrent if i was to go threw with this thanks.

IMO there are more people breeding retics, super dwarf or not, than there is a demand for these animals.

Yeah in the area im in i mention retic and everybody is like (uhhh idk) ive tried hunting down a super dwarf for the past few weeks and one person said they could get me one and have it in by next week for a grand

how big do they get? the super dwarf and or just regular dwarfs

Yeah, I've always been boggled by that. There are so many retic morphs on the market, but who the heck is buying all of them??

the super dwarfs are not supposed to get over 7-8 ft as an adult thats why i was looking into i getting one i cannot manage a 14ft dwarf let alone a mainland by myself.

my personal oppinion? i think its a great idea and really feel that dwarf/superdwarfs are the next gen of the hobby.. and really expand the attitude/intelligence to a whole nother group of people who can handle a 5-12 foot snake but not a 13+ foot snake. i have a runt tiger tic who is just under 8 feet at almost 2 (he was under fed i picked it up) and he is without a doubt the best snake i could have assked for.

the only thing about breeding ill say because i personally have never done it is get a good breeding stock. sd are a very fast flighty snake and the only real breeders i know of who are breeding mainland attitude into sd bodys are people like harry from monstersnake and nerd and i believe eric from sentec but im not sure of that. breeding stock is colmpletly diffrent from a pet tho. i hope to add a few sd and dwarf to my collection in the next few years and do as your planning with the breeding because there isnt a big mainland market around here but i truly believe that a sd/dwarf market would explode

If i could id have a mainland cause i heard there so much calmer but it would be hard to find 3-4 people to pick it up as an adult that wouldnt be terrified lol. but i know the dwarfs or even a good 2 person snake as they can still get 14ft. thats why i was lookin intot he super dwarfs. But at 7ft i can manage a super dwarf.
