    Why do you want a baby OR a dwarf. You do know babies don't stay small right.

    ive done some searching, but they are already quite large. Also i know they grow quick, i'm fine with that. I want to raise it from as young as i can. All babies i have found lately are around 3-4 feet.

    Retics can be quite a handful and I should know, I have been breeding Retics for 17 years. If your are truly interested in retics you need to pick a particular one out. If your interested in Dwarfs then stick with just dwarfs and do some internet searching to find out who has them and what they have available. Dwarfs are hot right now and will stay hot for a while but there is a lot of marketing BS that goes along with them.You need to sift through it and pick out the right kind of retic for you.

    Super Tigers, Tigers and Tiger sibs are good starts but they all get big, dwarf versions of these are not guaranteed to stay small but should not grow to be 20ft giants.
    Bali's are for expert keepers stay clear
    Sulawesi's are giants stay clear
    Super Dwarfs seem to come in small but f2 generations grow past their six foot parents quickly. But these can be a good starter retic because their attitudes stay pretty sharp and they seem to be more gentle then other types of dwarfs.

    Baby retics are chainsaws they will nab you when least expected so get use to band-aids because your going to need to spend time with it to get it acclimated to you and it's surroundings.

    Good luck and I hope you find what your looking for...

    PS I am out of babies so please don't ask at this time...

    thanks guys for all the posts. I did some more research on them. I'm gonna start with a dwarf for now. I found a Jampea Dwarf retic for sale from brian at BHB.

    Thanks for all the help.

    so i finally found a retic i am going to buy. It's a baby male normal from Matt at MBReptiles.com. It was a pleasure buying from him. Finally i have found one that i wanted, although i would love a purple retic (the wife said no to one, because she is buying a spider ball. Totally jacked.). I get it next monday, so i will be posting pics soon.

    Thanks everyone for your help and support.

    Brandon

    P.S. I know i'm gonna get bit, so do i need anything to treat a bite besides a band aid?
