True dwarf retics, those with full size adult females typically below 14 or 15 feet, are currently found almost exclusively in the Bonerate Island chain between Sulawesi and Flores in Indonesia. Strong sea currents running from east to west through this island chain have kept most of the native terrestrial fauna isolated from their mainland conspecifics, and allowed retics to evolve into these dwarf forums. I'm sure there are yet to be discovered other dwarf forms on other small isolated island chains in the Indonesian area.
