this might be a dumb question but im interested in maybe getting myself a dwarf retic somewhere in the near future but i wanted to know are dwarf reticulated pythons a man made mutation or are they different species of retics and naturally smaller than normal retics? if someone could answer this ? for me it would be greatly appreciated! thank you

The Jampea, Kayuadi, and Super Dwarf retics are naturally occuring dwarf retics. They are restricted to small islands separate from the larger mainland populations. I think that they may have been assigned as a subspecies. The dwarf retic morphs on the market are produced by breeding a dwarf to a normal morph. They are only 50% dwarf. Hope this helps.

I will say that Dwarf and retic must be used lightly. They are still large snakes that are very strong. Males 8-10 ft. Females over 10ft. Most sizes we have seen are from wc, cb will be larger. Nerds big girl Jamp is 15ft.
