    Depends on level of experience and if you can ensure it stays contained. But I'd suggest a male burm if you want to learn keeping the big ones.

    I wouldn't advise dwarfs because it's a corruption of the greatest python in the world. Want a nice tame 8 footer, get a coastal carpet python like mine. She's still growing too. Hell if you wanna drive 5 hours I'll sell her to you.

    This is the second time that you've mentioned wrong info on dwarf's, specifically retics. They are not a corruption, but a locality that do not achieve giant size. Why do you keep alluding to that?

    I know what island dwarfism is. I'm very cynical about how in this race to make morphs and even smaller dwarves we've inbred and messed their genetics all to hell.

    Over a decade ago "dwarves" didn't get a whole lot smaller, still 10-13 feet if fed. These aren't the same as island dwarves.

    I understand to get any of the morphs the SD are being bred with mainlands, but in another post you said you were disgusted "They" dwarfed retics. Who did? Now you're saying they're corrupted. Lol

    I just think in the long run this morph game we're playing is slowly degrading their genes.

    But you want to isolate a giant gene to breed unnatural giant snakes!

    Yes I've thought of the double standard. I'm researching a way to acquire a couple WC despite the ban to strengthen the bloodline.
