dwarfs/superdwarfs are a locality... when mixed with mainland blood you dilute the "dwarf" influence, unlike a true recessive or co-dom trait which is passed on. dont listen to the hype.

there is no way to tell which of the offspring from this kind of pairing will have more "dwarf" influence... hatchling size is never a good indicator of growth at maturity.

if you want a smaller retic your best bet is to stay with the pure stuff.

btw - just a suggestion... maybe give your tic a soak before feeding so it can finish shedding. i find my retics always appreciate this.

good question!!
