if this is your first retic, and you dont know much about morphs, then IMO you either havent done your research or shouldnt get a tic. I dont know what snakes you have experience with, but the only thing ive come across that will prepare you for a tic would be a rock python, but even then thats a whole different type of attitude. My baby albino tiger like to chew on me more than my pitbull did when he was a puppy, and thats A LOT!
just cuz its a dwarf doesnt mean its not going to act like its 14+ ft cousin, and any snake over 4 ft is going to hurt when it tags you, take a good tag from a 7+ ft retic and your going to consider your own santiy.
Let us know what you have experience with, but IMHO you sound no where near ready for a tic.....dwarf, super dwarf or normal... they are all pistols that need to be worked with alot and tamed down but a knowledgeable handler
