I've heard a lot of people saying they have dwarf/super dwarf retics...

They're so gorgeous and wow they really are a manageable size. I love them.

In my opinion and since I have both types...If you are looking for a smaller sized version of a mainland, go for a Dwarf (i.e. you like the Tiger but don't want a 15+" Tiger, get a Dwarf Tiger, that will cap out at around 8' - 11' depending on the breeding)...If you want a smaller tic than that go with the SD...They do look like a mainland, but more of an anorexic version...

But the price of Dwarfs are a little higher than the standard mainlands...There is a slight upcharge for the down-size breeding...However, the SD are pretty standard in their pricing until you start mixing in the albino and tiger genes, which add a premium...

Hope this makes sense...But as you can tell...I love the Dwarfs and SDs...But damn, I love my mainlands too...

And, like my broken record chant..."You get what you pay for" and "make sure you buy from a reputable breeder who can back their genetics"...
