All very valid points being brought up here! No two of any of our retics are the same percentage SD/Dwarf/Mainland. River is full mainland female and seems only a couple feet longer than Phyllis who is pure Super Dwarf. River seems to have a thicker build than Phyllis but that is expected given the background of the animals. Now Gerald is the newest addition to "club SD retic crosses" and has the highest percentage of both SD and mainland blood of all three of our male SD crosses. Same 50 % mainland blood as Stearns's Gene but all the rest of Gerald is super dwarf. In a few years all of these threads stand the potential to offer some really interesting insights as to how the various bloodlines affect the growth rates and overall size of these snakes. Love that we can all get together to discuss our very amazing and unique animals here and compare records. Very few other people in my life fully understand my lifelong obsession with snakes and I real enjoy getting to chat with y'all on here as much as we do!
