Super Dwarf Retic?

[Inasailorsgrave]

K so I'm really interested in super dwarf retics and I was wondering what kindof info I could be blessed with xD. In particular ( I know snake prices fluctuate) how much generally speaking would a male super dwarf retic cost? How big would said animal get? Please I'd like to know all I can. Thanks in advanced.

I have been looking for pure Super Dwarfs for the last few weeks and I have only found one PURE SD from a trusted breeder and it was an Anery male from Vital Exotics and they wanted $1,500 for him. I found a couple others but couldn't find anything on the people selling them so don't think I would trust it.

Yeah I just messaged him after snooping on t he forums a bit

With all due respect I'd rather converse with breeders and people who own these animals then a search on google, tends to be more reliable

Moooooommmmmm!

Thats funny.

Message replied. Sorry I missed this I generally only get on to check the Giant Pythons page and the Morelia as well as Hognose from time to time. For those who want to know more there are plenty of threads of info on the Giant Pythons section. Quick general break down.

Pure Kalatoa can be had for 400 from a reliable breeder. Check out Travis Kubes - he is THE MAN of SD. You can also email Matthew Martin over at Monster Cages / Feeders. These get 6' for females and 5' for males. There can be exceptions to the rule, but this is the general understanding. My two year old Anery PURE kalatoa male from Travis Kubes is about 4' and weighs around 700 grams. And is a perfect feeder. Little flighty but never strikes.

Pure Jampea from Bob Clark go for 300 usually, and are from great lines. People get scared of Jampea because of the monster sized ones that are out there "I dont consider 12' a dwarf" is a popular phrase people use. Jampea in the wild only get about 9' but they also only eat during peak bird migration and breeding seasons and primarily feed on just birds. Keep that in mind. When fed properly in relation to the wild, they will live long and healthy and reproduce at 8-9' for females with perfect offspring.

Crosses - Any morphs aside from Anery and Genetic Stripe will have mainland influence and will get larger. My 50% Crosses get to be about 9-11' and are 50% Kalatoa and 50% Mainland. 50% Jampea will get to an easy 14' for females and 12' for males. WORTH NOTING!!! When you get to 75% or greater in dwarfs / Super dwarfs people tend to lump them as being close enough to pure to call them dwarf or super dwarf. You still need to ask for % from the breeder for your own records and making sure that you are breeding lines properly. That being said, 75% normally stay about the same size as you would expect for pure SD / Dwarf locales. Some morphs can be hard for moderate pricing - $500 USD for a 50% Kalatoa Tiger, $750 for a 50% Kalatoa Sunfire in the US. and normally 1250-1500 for a 50% SD Platinum (creates the Ivory and Ultra Ivory - Also known as Fire from bob clark).

Hope this helps.
