Beautiful snake... and still too big for me lol. This is why I'd have to get a super dwarf and know the locales so that I knew for certain that it would stay smaller. Really nice patterning and contrast on her though.

We're in the process of moving the snakes to our new home, when the move is completed I can show some adult examples of the superdwarfs and how they are now - pertaining to size - comparative to the same age as this purple dwarf. Even with monitoring locals and breeders closely, also monitor generation cross amounts - f2 will stay significantly smaller than f1 crosses for 50% stuff, expect f1 to reach 12' and f2 to stay around 8-9' as adult females. My 30 month old 50% Kalatoa F2 is no longer adding length at around 7.5', and slowly putting girth on. Likewise, my 62.5% Selayer from mid 2012, is around 7 ft with a massive head (This is my dwarf genetic stripe female 66% het purple).

FWIW - she's between 13-14', and about a month ago at her last weigh in - she came in at 46 lb of snake :-)
This face is too freaking cute!! [emoji38] I have got to get one of these things soon. But on a much smaller scale lol. Super dwarf for me all the way.
