Dwarf/Super Dwarf Retic Questions!

[reptileexperts]

Made this video for such questions! Super Dwarfs stay fairly slim and do not get over the 15kg spectrum as breeding females for 50% crosses, and usually stay at or below 10kg for breeding sized pure line females. Dwarf can and do get rather large and robust, just like their mainland counter parts, but it also depends on how you raise them. My biggest Dwarf is around 2,5-2,7m and eating 1kg rabbits weekly. She's currently fairly trim, and getting moved to a Vision 600 at the end of this week., so she'll add a lot more size to her rather quick over the next couple of months.

In contrast, my 6 year old male tiger 50% SD is 3 meters and weighs around 7kg respecitvely. Again though my pure Anery SD male who is hitting 2 years in age is sub 2m (roughly 5 ft) and weighs less than 1kg! He stays in a CB70 tub and pounds large rats weekly without showing any more signs of growth.

There is a size catagory and morph that can fit most. But the smaller the size, and the rarer the SD morph, the more you will pay - think around 1,200 for a 50% SD Albino male this season white phase, and 5k for a Purple phase 62.5% SD het Anery (snow), and upwards of 8-9k for a SD Snow (Albino Anery) retic.

However, you can get Tiger 50% SD's for relatively cheap now - 450, and super tigers a lot cheaper than say even a year ago - 900 usd. But those are in quite a demand and I believe have sold out from the main supplier in the US this season (Travis Kubes Pythons)

My 50% sd Adult eats a 1kg rabbit once a month, and a XXL Rat once a week. My Dwarf Girl eats a 1kg rabbit weekly, and my other retics are currently feeding on Jumbo Rat (except my Dwarf Goldenchild who is on Small rats, and my new Super Tiger Super Dwarf who is barely eating 2 rat pups a week).
