I can only comment on the Jampea retics. There is no question that they are a smaller form, but are capable of getting pretty big. Not giant size as a retic 20' but still can get large. It all depends on how often you feed and how much you feed. My Jamps are on the upper end of this spectrum. My largest girl is nearing 16' now. Her growth has slowed over the last couple of years, however she should reach that mark soon. I happen to be a heavy feeder which is probably the main reason mine are the size they are. If you feed less often you would end up with a smaller retic, as you would with any reptile.



I find the Jampeas a bit flighty. Not mean but seem to be nervous. My large tigers, and super tiger are easier for me to manage when I have them out. Even though the jamps are smaller they are off and running once out. All they seem to want to do is climb. Whereas my others are happy just taking a stroll around the basement.



From my observation I also notice that they seem to digest their food more quickly then the others do. I cannot say enough about this impressive locality. They are drop dead beautiful.
