    Temperature preferances for Super Dwarves?

    Hello,


    Do super dwarves typically have slightly different preferences for temperature than their mainland counterparts?


    Thank You!

    I guess it will depend on their parents somewhat .. my SD Albino Retic reaches just 7’ and was puppy dog tame ..

    It was however very inquisitive and lightning fast with a voracious appetite.
    I just threw the thawed rat in with it and ran for cover

    I have a SD albino coming in, he's 25% madu 25% kalatoa.


    His father is just around 7 feet at 11 years old, mother is around 9 feet at 5 years old.

    Sounds very promising... I strongly recommend you using the tap training method !!

    I know what book training is, but what exactly is tap training?

    Hook training, you use a hook to tap them slightly to get them out of food mode, its pretty easy but you have to do it routinely

    I meant to say, I know what “hook” training is.


    So I’m guessing hook training and tap training are the same thing?

    Do super dwarves typically have slightly different preferences for temperature than their mainland counterparts?
    It is my understanding that the temperature preferences of Super dwarfs is similar to mainland retics. However from the retic breeders I have talked with - they seem to all agree that retics tend to prefer slightly cooler temperatures than most other pythons, - with cool side temps being in the 73-77 F(22.8-25.0 C), and basking temps being about 84-88 F (28.9-31.1 C).
    Snakes
    1.0 Pure Hog Island Boas (Boa imperator) - "Boss"
    0.1 Tamaulipas Cloud Forest Boa (Boa imperator) - "Elena"
    0.1 Ivory/Super YB Ball Python (Python regius) - "Ivory"
    1.1 Cape York Spotted Python (Antaresia maculosa) - "Irwin & Iris"
    0.1 Dumeril's Boa (Acrantophis dumerili) - "Lysse"
    1.0 75% Super Dwarf Retic (Malayopython reticulatus) - "Kal"

    Lizards
    0.1 Yellow Ackie Monitor
    (Varanus acanthurus) - "Gigi"

    Just realised the thread says temperatures

    I read it as ‘temperaments’
