    As an aside the genetic stripe gene is associated with "dwarf" retics. My genetic stripe adult female is about 14 feet long.

    Their 50% jampea breeders are 10-12 ft..

    I was thinking of getting a male building a 6ft by 2ft by 12in tall cage...

    Have you seen Cody's YouTube videos? Very informative and really give a good look at growth and size. Look up Cody Conway "let's talk super dwarf Retic crosses" then the update, then update part 2. He goes by reptileexpert here on the forum (right?), super knowlegible guy, and those videos are great.

    The size of the parents can give you an idea but in no way are the offspring limited to that size.

    My 37.5% SD, 31.5% dwarf male is 7' easy at 15 months old. His dad was 6' and mom was 8-9'. Dwarfs still can get to 14' or so. A lot of it will be determined by feeding but also the genetics and how much of what the snake 'uses'. Also i have been told tiger gene makes them bigger too but i have no idea. Caesar is a white albino tiger het snow. Luckily he is just a giant baby and anything so much as a bump on his snoot will make him lay down and sulk like a puppy who did something wrong lol.

    Better to plan too big than too small imo. I have Caesar in a T25 which is a 72x30x18 with a 10" deep shelf running across the whole back of the cage. He uses every inch of that cage. 18" would the minimum height i would want to go and for heating, it seems to be the sweet spot. I would also go deeper. I would have preferred a 72x36x18 cage but that extra 6" would have cost me an arm and a leg im sure.
