Hi
about 20 minutes ago I found out that you can get Dwarf Retics but I cant find how big they get when adult. I dont want one I was just wondering.
Heres a picture of a Albino Retic and a Super Dwarf Retic they are aproximatly the same age!

Hi

Thanks for the link do Retics grow much when theyre adults?
(p.s. sorry about the link/picture thing I forgot)

What do you mean do they grow much as adults?

Retics grow big, and fast. There are different types of dwarf retics that reach different sizes.

Jampea dwarfs are the larger dwarf subspecies.. they can reach 12-15' at maximum.

Super dwarfs are much smaller. They can breed when they are around the same size or smaller than a ball python! Size on them is 6-8' I believe.

sorry to cut in, but how much do superdwarfs usually cost? are they as hard to house, care for, etc. as the normal retics?

[Shelby]

Super dwarfs are a bit pricier than jampeas right now. Wild caughts are $300-400 usually.. CB considerably more expensive.

Being 6-8' versus 20+ they are obviously much simpler to care for.

looks like i got some savin up to do if i want one of those. right now i have a lil over $200 but thats for my ackie(that my mom said i cant get for atleast a couple years)

As they become more common the price will drop.

Hello,

I know Steve Gooch has a couple dwarf retic babies, he bred his dwarf tigers. They are 50% normal and 50% jampea. Hes letting them go for only $150, I might get myself one.

I imagine they'd be quite a bit bigger than a Jampea dwarf, which can reach 15' anyway. Still.. sounds cool.
