Well, apparently there is also a region in Africa that is known for GIANT balls as well ... 6 - 7 foot females that clutch 16 - 20 eggs ... I know a couple of people working with them and I am getting some in this spring, so we'll see.

We are just at the tip of the ball python ice berg! ;)

I really didnt think my one comment would draw out such conversation, though I am enjoying it. I have just read, and told they were 'dwarfs', so that is what I called them. I don't see myself ever owning a full size retic, but love their pattern and colors, so would jump at a chance to own a 'dwarf' retic, especially yellow-headed.

i was just saying alot of dwarfs are actually from different locales. not saying your wrong by any means.

"Dwarf" is a relative thing, esp. with retics. Our biggest Jampea (Jampeas are commonly thought to be dwarf retics, although not as small as "Super Dwarf" animals) female matured to 15', and that was a long-term-captive, originally WC locality-collected animal.

Sure, 15' is a lot more manageable than 25'. ;)
