    Well a dwarf is basically the same except, the dwarfs are smaller than the mainlands. Dwarfs get about 8-12 feet(males), and 9 to 15 feet (females).

    Eh, somewhat, I have seen a few girthy ones, but yeah I suppose for the most part they are. According to most breeders they are rather easy to manage. Btw, there are super dwarf retic that only get 6-7 feet. I own two.

    Depends on the locality. Some people have theories that its just the type of food from the certain island they're from.

    Jampea dwarfs weren't that big when they were first brought in. Right now the biggest one I think is 16'.

    Kalatoa dwarfs stay relatively small. Maybe 7-8 feet.

    Honey Island, about the same.

    I don't know them all. But, yea...
