    Dwarf/Super dwarf Retic localities and sub-species.
    I have been researching information on the dwarf & super dwarf retic localities, and sub-species.

    And while I am pretty clear on most of the major localities, sub-species and approximate sizes. Such as the following -

    Super Dwarfs
    - Kalatoa, Madu, & Karompa - usually average about 6-8', exceptional is about 9-10'

    - Kayuadi - (jampeanus subspecies) - is considered either a large super dwarf or a small dwarf - at between 7-10 feet.

    Dwarfs
    - Selayer Islands - (saputrai subspecies) - average 10-13 feet, exceptional is up to 16'.

    - Jampea - possible also jampeanus sub-species - but has also reported reaching about 16'.


    Still there are several localities and how they fall into sub-species and classifications, that I am not sure of, or only briefly heard of.

    Such as the following

    - Ternate/Halmahara

    - Bali/Lombok/Flores

    - Maluku Islands

    As these Dwarfs, Super dwarfs, or just smaller "mainland" retics?

    A couple additional question.

    Is the Bali retic - the Yellow headed dwarfs?

    Are the Ternate/Halmahara locality retics dwarfs or super dwarfs?

    I'm not sure but I know you could probably find the answers you're looking for if you contact Garrett Hartle. His Youtube is Reach Out Reptiles. Good luck!!!
