Adam, I don't think we have formally met, Hi.
Just wanted to say nice shot, and I just skimmed through your website. You have some very nice photos and some even more beautiful snakes.

Skim through his site under dwarf retics, It gives a good explanation on the name issues.

Re: Super Dwarf
Thanks everyone, and Hi Rusty.
Super Dwarf was the name given to the original tiny stock Mike Wilbanks and Bob Clark imported. The stock came from an un-named island (There are 17,000 plus islands in Indonesia and many have no names) so Super Dwarf seemed appropriate since they cou;dn't name it after the island. I know it's confusing, because Super usually refers to an incomplete Dominant gene, but this time it basically means the smallest of the Sunda Island Retics...
