it depends. morph for morph, yes the dwarf and SD are more expensive. however, not nearly as many morphs available in the smaller ones (yet).

Can you tell me why ? I would think the bigger one would be more? I don't plan on breeding this boy, he is just a pet, but because I breed other reptiles, my breeder in me gets curious lol.

As far as I know, most if not all morphs come from mainland retics, so to get morphs, especially recessives like albino, into the dwarf/super dwarf locales AND keep percentages of dwarf blood high enough to retain a genetically smaller snake, it takes much more work and years of crossing than just getting a recessive in a mainland where you aren't also focused on retaining higher percentages of dwarf blood. I am not really sure how it all gets calculated, but it is complex to mix and get morphs and high dwarf percentages.
Also, bigger ones in general are more common and there is high demand for "small" retics that won't get huge, so high demand and lower supply also raises the prices.
