My super dwarfs just got in this morning and I'm stunned. These things are TINY. The male weighs 40 grams right now. They hatched out in April (if I recall correctly). The box the female below is in is 7" across to give you an idea of how tiny they are. They're really inquisitive like normal retics. I haven't gotten tagged yet so I don't think they have much interest in biting. I'm off to go try to find some mouse pinkies for my retics. 
Great looking Dwarfs! Good luck with them. Just out of curiousity, are you going to provide them with a hide box (I didn't see one in the pic)? I didn't do so with my retic (when he was a baby, or even now after a year and a half) because I always kind of thought hide boxes would make them more timid and slow to getting used to my presence in general. Not to mention I would never see him during the day!
Just wondering what your thoughts are on this subject.
The tubs they're in now are 7" x 10" and you can see how much space they take up in it. The rack is black with a water dish out the front so unless I'm pulling the tub out they don't see much of anything.
When I move them into a larger enclosure I will provide hide boxes. Some snakes love them and some snakes could care less. The ones that never use them I usually remove the boxes. I try to let the snake decide.
