rewnewed interest

havent been on for a while, id sort of lost interest in snakes for a good while. but i just recently got myself a wee dopey boa and an adult pair of kayuadi super dwarf retics, so the interest is renewed now. so hello again people................

Hi Trunx

whats the crack with the super dwarfs retics,not really up on my pythons!

are these the bob clark line? i thought his line where the only true super dwarfs,or is that just bob clark marketing?

alright phil, hows the form?


these retics came from bob clark. he brought them over on the ofchance someone would take them. ady took them, then they ended up with me. the papeer work went missing, so im gonna ccontact mr clark to see if he can sort something out for me............

i got a pair of these from Bob Clark for a friend a couple of years ago,they are beatiful animals and still very small

i bought them from cloodblooded reptile center, they hold the bob clark stuff but i dont think bob bred them himself, they didnt offer me any paperwork im not too familiar with this local myself

ah right. thanks for that ady................

Hi Trunx welcome back, thought things had been a bit quiet on this forum lately, now I realise why!
By the way good luck with the new snakes.

bob's superdwarfs are apparently a separate pure island locality.
I can't vouch for the truth of this statement, but we bought one from him a yr ago. It def isn't kay locality and is tiny - only about three ft and slender as can be at over a yr old, despite a savage appetite!
It's crazy to see the growth rate difference bet him, the dwarfs we have and the mainland sized retics.

The superdwarf we have is also 100% albino, so obviously new blood was introduced to the 'pure locality' superdwarf, but according to mr clark he initially breeds colour into dwarfs, then superdwarfs from dwarfs, then a few generations are bred before he will sell as pure superdwarfs. (which they obviously never are, but they're tiny, so that suits me!)

This is all bob's talk, and don't know how much of it is true either. But certain breeders are selling superdwarf albinos at mo which i strongly suspect to be a direct cross bet a superdwarf and dwarf. Which is fine, but it should say so IMO. Bob is only producing his first albino superdwarfs this yr

Was in cold blooded last week, tommy - it's a pretty cool shop and the guys are dead on!

yeah paul and james are two of the nicest guys in the reptile trade, do you live near there

love to get a super dwarf retic
have you any pics
also while im typin if any one sellin dwarf retics drop me an email
how big would a male normal retic grow?

I'll get some pics of the retics soon - really bad at it tho...keep meaning to do growth rate pics bet dwarfs/superdwarfs and mainlands!

No ady (sorry about the mistaken id!), I live in Wexford. The other half's family have a place in UK which is handy for snake business. We were in rainham last week to pick up a batch of snakes from bob clark...picked up some stuff from the lads in cold blooded as well (they were absolutely brill and will def be back over) and had a good look around the zoo as well.

Livin Rainforest in Gloucestershire's well worth a look as well

@Hudsy - we're hopin to produce dwarf albino retics for next yr, all going well. But we'll see, these things are hard to plan for!!!

A mainland sized male retic could get very long - a lot seem to get to around 15 ft or so while still quite young. They could get longer, or not even get that long - it's the luck of the draw, depending on what you want! Tigers seem to grow longer than other morphs/localities.
The good thing is they remain slim and quite manageable compared to burms

Oh, glad to hear you're keeping snakes again trunx. my lonely little heart has missed you so ;D

i knew you would have missed me lisa.

these ones of mine are touching 7 foot. ill have to get some photies of them up soon.................

well that's tiny...and pretty much the size superdwarfs should remain at in any case...my male albino dwarf should even out at about 8/9 ft, so your guys are teeny.

Ps trunx - rob misses you on the new place

Knew it..........was only a matter of time before a few viv's were set-up again
good to see you back mate
ps.
got your txt, (new number)
