He or she is most likely 50% or 62.5% SD from Bob. One thing to know about the snakes on Bobs page is that the snake pictured isn't always the exact snake you're getting, that was the same picture displayed when I got my Purple SD from him, (not a bad thing, makes it much easier due to the high volume he produces per year). The only pure SD morph you can get is Anery. I recently purchased 5 SD/dwarf Retics, just a warning, they are as addicting as Ball Pythons, if not more so.Originally Posted by cchardwick
So I have an extra ARS 80 series tub available in my rack and I'm looking for something that will eventually eat a full size rat to take care of my older breeders and rats that get too big for my ball pythons. Anyone have experience with super dwarf retics? I saw a regular reticulated python on Craig's List for about half of what he paid, still a baby snake, but since it's not SD I'm hesitant to get it. I need a snake that I can handle by myself once fully grown since I don't have any helpers up here in the mountains where I live.
I found one online that I really like from Bob Clarke, it's a female albino SD retic for $850, is that a good price? I just sent him an e-mail to ask him what percentage of SD in the snake and asked to see photos of the parents. I heard that you should ask the percentage of SD in the retic? And some that I see are a percentage of super dwarf / dwarf / mainland... Some say it's impossible to have a pure SD in various morphs, do you think this albino could be pure SD? I'm more of a ball python guy and never really looked into retics before, but I've seen a few videos on YouTube and it looks like I could handle something like this by myself once it reaches full size. I'm going to start with a female just in case I decide to breed them down the road, I'm guessing a male would mature faster if I picked one up down the road and could breed a bit sooner if I had a fully mature female.
