Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey everyone.

Been years since Ive been on these forums, Family life has been hogging all my time!!

Anyways, I'm looking for ANY opinions the expected Adult size of Selayar Dwarf Retics, if indeed they are regarded as dwarfs. I bought one from a friend of a friend of a friend about 2 years ago as a male Seleyar. He was about 3-4 foot when I got him and now hes touching on 13 foot, he was alledgedly imported to the UK from Bob Clark (which is what the seller told me, no proof!)

I have kept big snakes before and do not believe in feeding snakes to any schedule as such (hatchlings aside). He gets fed roughly once every 1 to 8 weeks, I like to think I feed him on an approximate seasonal fluxuation of food, as would be found if he were wild. The reason I mention this is I KNOW there will be those reading this who will turn around and say "should be bigger/longer/ etc by now"

Anyways, anyone with any long term experience happen to know when they should max out? (personally now hoping he's not a dwarf, his nature is more like a burm than what I've ever known of retics)

Thanks In Advance

Phil

if you dont have paperwork on him being of selayer locale, i would say, expect him to get bigger

I'm thinking that if he is a Seleyar than he is about his adult size. I'm not an expert with Seleyar retics but I am fascinated by them, they are beautiful snakes.
