I just got a pair of these in and they are gorgeous, tiny little retics. "Celebes" was the information given to them from the importer I believe.

I just had a talk with the snakes and explained to them that they aren't supposed to be tiny little retics. Now their feelings are hurt-thanks! LOL

UMMMMMMMM celebes is the old name for the island sulawesi where the largest retics come from. I would honestly take those back those dont even look like suls either they look like mainlanders.

Why would I "take them back"? I bought them because I like the way they look. I don't care if they were caught 2 blocks from here! LOL hahaha

I was just saying that because I thought you were looking for an actual dwarf. I do agree they are very nice looking I would keep them myself also

Looks really good, Mark. Keep us updated on growth rates and such. I emailed Alfredo asking him about them and he said they were really tiny, smaller than mainlanders, and he trusts the guy he got them off of. Alfredo wouldn't try to "pull one over" on anyone, I believe them being dwarfs is legitimate. Congrats on the new addition.

These are real small which has proven to make for smaller adults. What ever they are , great looking babies to raise up! And you are right, Alfredo is a good guy! Thanks

A good indication would be to weigh them and when posting that stick up a shot of the underside so people can see how fresh the umbilical slit is.
