I'm curious as to what is the smallest type of reticulated python. I've heard of various different types of dwarf retics, but wondered at their actual adult size.. especially the males.

I'm actually toying with the idea of getting one. Not anywhere in the near future, but some day when I have more experience with snakes like surinam red tail boas, blood pythons, and other similar mid/large size and more nervous snakes.

I've read that the bad reputation of retics is largely undeserved as it refers to the many wild caught specimens kept in earlier years, and not to the more generally placid CBB snakes.
