Dwarf Burmese

[TheresaBearden]

There have been no albino dwarf burms produced or any other morph in the dwarf burms. The dwarf and the half dwarf burms do have different temperments than a full size burm. They are very high strung, tend to be hissy and nervous but aren't usually biters. I have a pair of green het granite half dwarfs and they are only 4 feet long each and are two and a half years old. I do love them but they are both flighty as can be.

I could be wrong but I have heard that the dwarf burmese never lose their wild attitude and are never really handlable. If anyone here has them Id like to hear about them too. Im partial to dwarf retics myself.

I have a Dwarf Burm from Bob Clark. She is a little hissy in the beginning but actually surprising calm in my hand *knock on wood* I only know of one other handleable Dwarf Burm from a reliable source. Many are pistols, but I still love them. The Half Dwarfs are possibly what you're looking for. I love mine because they are good sized and have a good temperament too. They are more active than my normal burms, but I like that because it keeps me on my toes.

Here is a pic of my mid-09 Dwarf Burm (in hand not biting):


Here are a couple pics of my 2007 Half Dwarfs:



And a 2008 Dwarf Lav Tic for your viewing pleasure:

People said that retics were wild savages too for many years, but as the generations passed and people were breeding them in captivity the animals started calming down and now most retics are very handleable.

Thanks for all the replys guys. I contacted Bob Clark and he does have some females that should lay this month. Im hoping to either get a CBB pure dwarf from him or maybe a half dwarf. Bob Clark said that the CBB dwarfs should be just like any CBB burm. Ill have to make a final decision but i deffinetly want a dwarf/halfdwarf burm.

I'm gonna be trying a late pairing of my Half Dwarfs het Albino/Granite...However, if you do decide you want to get a Half Dwarf PM me and I can give you the contact for a reputable breeder who has a couple clutches ready to pip in a couple weeks...They should be having Half Dwarf Albinos, Granites, slight chance of a Albino Granites and some Half Dwarf Hypo's...
