Retics and Dwarf retics

Timekeep69 Sep 24, 2003 11:12 PM

Is there a way to tell the difference between them? I bought what was advertised as a Dwarf retic. It's still a baby (about 3ft). Anyone have suggestions?

My philosophy is if you buy animals from a reputable dealer the chances of getting what you are paying for is doubled, buy from a breeder and most likly you will get what you pay for and then some. Either way you shouldnt need to ask if the animal you just bought is what you wanted. Maybe you can get some good photos of the animal and post them here, likly it will be easy to recognise if a true dwarf, unfortunetly the localities can be near imposible to determine by eye, as each are variable. Do you have any other information about the animals orgin? Other than that you could just raise it and see how big it gets...

Thanks. I'll take some pics and post them here. I bought it from Outback Reptiles and I've heard both good and bad about them so I was just wondering. The snake itself is pretty docile and tame so if it is a regular retic I doubt I'll have any problems with it.
