Quarter Dwarf Burm

What is the size range for males? I've been all over the internet and the range is all over the place. Does anyone have any adults? Pics would be great!

Thanks!

Yep, I have a quarter dwarf male . . . he turns 2 this May and is under 4-5' feeding on medium rats (two a week to every other week) - He's a Granite het Albino . . .

Cody whats the info/background on dwarf burms? any particular breeders youd recommend?

I have no idea for VA to be honest. I used Andy Maddox here in Texas, because of the lacey act these guys can not cross state lines. This breeding was a half dwarf het granite het albino, crossed with an adult male granite het albino het green. Making it a quarter dwarf. It was born at half the weight of a full size burm, and has grown extremely slow regardless of food intake.

Does he still breed Burms and does he have a webpage/youtube channel?

He does. He has quarter and half dwarfs cooking for this year. His website is the Facebook page for pets-a-plenty in hockley Texas. They have an official website but it's not updates as often as facebook.

Would they grow to the full weight/length of non dwarf burm or are similar genetic/biologic effects at play like in the SD/D retics?

I'm not honestly sure. I have not done much research into dwarf burms to confidently answer that question. I just know that mine has retained his small size going into his second year now with no depression in food or space. Andy had predicted this clutch would cap at 9' for males, but many that he has looked into - siblings of my boy - are still under 4-5' in length. None have been able to make that push into full size territory. When I was younger I had a normal female Burmese and she put on a foot a month without me even trying to get her up in size. So with that in comparison Id say that the dwarf blood has a more dominance effect than in the case of retics

Very interesting!! Pisses me off the government's decided to go all Lacey Act all over everything...

yeah, there are some amazing burms out there. If I was looking to expand my collection, I'd definitely be adding a Hypo Granite this season . . .
