We do not impose their size limits unless you stunt them. My two year old Anery Pure Super Dwarf is only 4' long and pounds medium rats every 4-8 days! He's no where near underfed he just grows slow and metabolized very fast what he ate.

Retic personalities are very unique and the most interesting snakes in my collection of breeders. My Burmese is like a big lazy ball python. My carpets are only active during feeding times and at night. But the retics are always watching and appear to be learning. They come out of the tub when you open it up. They rest their head on your hand almost as a form of submission. They never miss a meal unless in shed and their are amazing paint jobs out there from tiger to cow ( phantom ogs). So adding the ability to offer sizes to meet all levels of keepers is an awesome thing. In my snake talks I use retics as a grand example of evolution on islands and island ecology from both a Darwinism and Lemark stand point on inheritance and evolution. So yeah... There's some reasons. Need I name more?

Always on the look out to pick up retic info as I would love to work with some SD's in the not too distant future. Thank you for your consistently useful posts, sir. They are much appreciated.
