We think the 1/2 dwarfs will max out at less than 10ft. We are freinds with another breeder that produced 1/2 dwarfs het albino in 2005. He kept a trio, the male is 6ft and the females are 7 and 8ft. They bred this year and should lay eggs this month sometime. These have all been feed well and seem to have maxed out on their size.

Full dwarfs max out at 7ft, anything over that size and I would be skeptical if they are true dwarfs. Our biggest male was imported as an adult in 2004 and is 5.5ft long. We purchased him in August 2006 and he hasn't gotten any bigger since we got him. We also purchased a 1.3 group in august 2006. They were all about 3ft when we got them, 1.2 are about 4.5 to 5ft long now and one female is about 6ft. The 6ft female eats like a pig on XXL guinea pigs and seems to have maxed out on her growth. There are some differences in the pattern of dwarfs versus a normal burm. Once you are familiar with the differences you can pick a dwarf out from a regular pretty easy.

The dwarfs are some neat animals and we are working on incorporating the morphs into the dwarfs. We are hoping this will increase the interest in dwarfs, especially will all the laws that the government is attempting to pass.

Thanks,
