    Re: Jampeas - how big do they really get and what are they like?

    Jampea is the largest and is under a grey area as to whether or not it is a dwarf. Some stay small some grow large. They are strictly dependent on food intake amount IMO. I have talked about it a lot in previous threads a lot and it's worth mentioning again. On the island on Jampea it is a bird breeding colony. This is their food for the year and is only in abundance for a few months out of the year. They are adapted to handle less food intake than other retics. When people slam them with food at a young age they get big. They are essentially mainland. But they don't grow as hefty. So still a dwarf in a way.

    I have a 2 almost 3 year old 75% Jampea Tiger het anery poss het snow female that has been fed slowly and I mean slowly. Never to the point she was thin. But to the point she was never sitting on heat for days trying to digest. She's only 6-7 ft right now. My 50% f2 Jampea purple albino who I fed to raise as a breeder who turns 5 in march, she's every bit of 14' and 75-100lb.

    My male golden child 50% Jampea from a 14' mom pure Jampea, only reached 10' and about as thick as 4" across. The perfect size snake IMO.

    The key take home is. With Jampea. There are no guarantees.
