Can they be trusted to be purely dwarf and not half dwarf? The thing is this guy has had it for over a year and i havent seen a huge size variation, but i would like to know from you guys if the dwarf burms exist and how big do they get... this female is a 2009 and it is about 5 feet, and relatively thin. It would be a must buy if somebody could guarantee it wont get bigger than a boa, so i let you guys talk! Here's a photo by the way!

Dwarf Burmese Python
For lovers of the huge Burmese pythons we all know and care about, who cannot afford the space that they need, a fantastic alternative has arrived. Dwarf Burmese Pythons were imported into the UK and USA for the first time in 2003. They occur from a small off-shore Island in South East Asia and grow to a maximum of 7 feet. Adult males have bred at just 4feet, and females at 5feet. They have an almost identical appearance to their larger cousins, and youngsters will tame easily. The unfortunate side however, is their current price range. This has become the leading project in Python molurus for many breeders, aiming to breed this Dwarf into colour and pattern variants of its larger cousin, to ultimately achieve Dwarf Burmese Pythons in a wide array of colours and patterns.
