Dwarf Burm Egg Size for jfmoore.. DATA inside

morphspecialties Oct 07, 2003 12:05 AM

Here is the info you were interested in. This is the computed average of all 11 eggs from this clutch in the picture. This will put them much much smaller than normal Burm eggs. What do these eggs remidn you of in size of other python eggs?? Will be waiting to see the size of babies!!

Weight: 121.3364 grams
Length: 3-3/8" Inches/ 86.72727273 mm
Width: 1-15/16" Inches/ 49.54545455 mm

Anyone with the same info on a clutch of normal burm eggs? do these measurements on all the eggs and then compute the average... Would be interesting to see the difference.

Thank you,
Savannah

These are fantastic looking animals. Did you breed from these, or were they gravid when you received them? If you bred them, how large were the breeding males??

Thank you for the reply.

We bred them. Well when we got them from the wild, we put males with females and they bred over and over. The smallest male that bred for us was 3 1/2' That was the smallest we had, we didnt have any smaller to try. Our guess is that males will breed at around 3'. The smallest female that bred and laid good eggs was around 5' and when gravid she was 11.5 lbs. After laying she weigh around 6 or 7 pounds. Looks like females can breed and lay eggs at only 4.5'. and the max size oon them from the wild seems like 7'

We are very excited to be the ones make these available to the public soon, with all color morphs mixed into the smaller size.

Let me know if you have any other questions.. We have pictures showing them breeding in a 3' neodesha cage!!

Thanks
Savannah

Nice one, can you post more pictures? Especially of them breeding?

Have you already started putting them into colour morphs?

I suppose you will be offered 1/2 Dwarfs, 100% het for albino....that sort of thing? Like the dwarf retics?

What about hybridizing? You thought about trying a male to a female Kayuadi dwarf retic? Or something along those lines??

Also, what size cage would you say is 'sensible' for keeping these guys in? Lets say a big female, what is a bare minimum for it, and what is 'ideal'?

Also, a 7ft female dwarf, is it the same build as a 7ft normal? Or is it more slender for its length??

These would be truly fantastic. For anyone that compares these to Royals, there is no comparison to me. burmese have always been attractive, its just a downside they grow so big. Now you can invest in another small python which is very attractive.

Also, i suppose your WC ones are pretty aggressive, have any calmed down at all? Do you expect the babies to be as docile as normal burms??

Would love to see more pictures! When is your web site gonna be up n running??
