Slow feeding is going to have no bearing on whether it grows larger less quickly.

lol . . . obviously you have zero experience with retics containg SD / D blood. . . I have a sibling to Travis kubes white super tiger 50% SD . . . he fed his small meals every 7-10 days. I fed mine every 4 days for the first year, then moved it to weekly large meals. At NARBC travis' sibling to mine was 3 ft long and maybe 350-400 grams. . . . mine from that exact same clutch at the time of comparison was 7' and around 5 kilos . . . but please, explain yourself and experience in this?

I'll take your scientific degrees into consideration, but it's not going to limit the full size of the animal in the end. It's genetics alot for how big it will get, not how you feed it.

I never said it would - it would only grow it at a slower rate without detrimental results to its health. The end size will still be the same between mine and Travis' mine just got there faster, and as a result MIGHT stay slightly larger than his. But in the end - this is why I stated slow feeding will help you sustain it for 1-2 years. Not it's entire life . . . a snake will not "grow to its max comfort in a small tank" . . lets break that mindset yet again

I think this is disregarding epigenetics quite a bit. Feeding less food has been observed to reduced the size of full grown animals in everyone who has adult retics, dwarf or not. Genetics do severally restrict the range the animal can grow to but food intake is an important part of this equation as well. Of course we do not have scientific studies for this topic to review as of yet just observations from keepers.

Re: Super Dwarf Reticulated Python Care and Information
i have an 75 % SD Tiger Anery from travis kubes/..... what i'm asking is ...
do anery tiger must have a silver eyes??? cause mine look a little bit orange.....
but travis / kris brown said that anery eyes are random.. it doesn't have to be silver .... IS THIS right???
thanks

I'd actually like to know that as well. I think my SD is an anery but she definitely has orange eyes. Not sure what signifance the eyes have on genetics.
0.1 GHI Mojave
0.1 Super special h scaleless
0.1 Desert ghost
1.0 WC Dinker

Pretty sure the eyes aren't linked with the morph trait 100% of the time. I toured Prehistoric Pets while I was on vacation in Cali and there was plenty of variety of eye color among the same morph. The dwarf purple albino het gen stripe male I picked up had a brother and they put them side by side for me to pick. My male has silver/white eyes with a very thin line of red while his brother had completely bright red eyes.

Sorry I missed this question - to answer, no they do not have to have silver eyes. Many will be born with silver eyes, but they will begin to shift toward brown and slight orange over time as they grow older. If you purchased it from Travis Kubes pythons you have a proper Anery, and it will prove out when you put it to a proper clutch, no worries there.
My pure SD Anery from Travis has slightly brown eyes, but was born with silver eyes, I'll try and post the 2 shots of it then and now. . .
