I own a G-Stripe (dwarf) and 2 SD. One of the SD is Poss. Het. Albino. The other is a normal old SD.Originally Posted by Alice
A very good friend of mine also breeds Jampeas. Now although this is not common, his largest Jampea is over 16 feet and in the 190 pound range.I should have one of her babys coming in a few months.
He has other very large Jampeas in the 15+ range too.
There is also a really cool Jampea breeder out there by the name of Travis Kubes that breeds his own line of Jampeas that stay very small.
I personally know quit a few others that own smaller locals of Retic and through their and mine experience here is what I can tell you.
What these snakes lack in size they make up for in a lot of other places. These guys tend to be more cage aggressive, have a much higher feeding responce, be more flightier, more nippy and push a lot more. Jampeas seem almost aboreal at times.
In short these are nothing like there larger counter-parts.
I would not recommend a dwarf to a first time Retic owner and I would not recommend a Retic to someone thats only owned Ball Pythons. Sorry man, thats only my opinion. I owned snakes for along time and did years of research and handing of other people's Retics before I bought and owned them. I had a lot of other snakes along the way too, Boas, Burmese and Ball Pythons.
Good luck. Retics will either make you love them, or hate them once you have owned them.
Just my opinions.
