I would just be worried of having a 14ft dwarf retic instead of expected 6ft SD. Haha. I think the trait tends to show more in the F2 generation if they are crossed. I may be wrong though.
Thats why im looking for an very tiny and dark male. A very obvious SD to breed her with. I wouldnt want to bring back the size of the dwarf by breeding her to another SD x D cross.

That would be nice, our snakes could make some killer babies. (that sounded wierd lol.):P
Its possible they did breed the SDs to the dwarfs for that reason, but I think most of the breeders working with them just wanted to produce SD morphs since they'ld be highly marketable. I wish they hadn't done that, it would have been nice to see more pure line of SDs.

Both of mine are 100% pure - parents were CH and they have darken up a bit, I noticed that my female has a slightly larger head than my male perhaps the head size is possibly a gender thing?

My girl was sold to me as a 100% SD. So if she doesnt get much bigger than she is now, Id be positive she is an SD. I just cant believe how bright she is. Im actually looking for a male that is at least an 07' or early 08' SD. I missed out on one a month ago because I took too long to decide but for this girl there was no decision. I just said YES I'll take her! So she was at my door less than 24 hours after payment :)
Ive seen the fire SD and I think that would be a great project. Imagine a leucistic SD retic! :bow:
Maybe next year i'll invest in a pair of those. Unless I get lucky enough to find a male fire SD this year. Then I may need to rethink my breeding plans for this girl ;)
BTW I looked at your collection and that blood is Beautiful! Definately the next on my list :D
