how big do bali retics get male and female. i was told they r a dawf retic is this true. thanks jay

Not in My Opinion...My female is approx. 13 maybe 14ft. My male is sitting at or just under 8ft. both of these are long term adults, my female adds weight and girth quickly but no additional length to speak of. Both parents have been slow over the years of putting on any size.
Length growth is slow compared to my other "standard" retics who just kept shooting past 14 ft in addition to putting on girth. Though small I do not consider them to be dwarf retics. Just a smaller locale on the average.

Of interesting note though is that the Incubation-Hatch time has now been consistent(2 breedings) for 82 days @ a temp of 88.9*F..... Where as my larger sized retics go 88-90 days on the same incubation temps. I belive other locale retics on the smaller size average, as well as dwarfs, may have shorter incubation hatch times. I think I recall kayuadi's(ssp) being reported at a 79-80 day hatch rates, if Im wrong maybe someone can post the Incubation-Hatch time for them.
