50% Jampea - "Dwarf" or not?

Daniel81 May 17, 2010 04:22 PM

Hi!

I really like the albino retics and have seen som dwarves that are 50% jampea. I suspect that this type of cross isn't really that much of a dwarf but i have zero experince, so please share your experiences regarding the size of this type of cross

Thanks in advance

Regards

Daniel

Dwarf is a pretty relative term when applied to snakes that can be over 20'. I used to have a beautiful tiger that was half jampea, got a solid 12' plus. Well behaved, but that's still a lot of animal.
An acquaintance had a retic that was jampea x superdwarf. It grew to about 14' as I recall, larger than either of its parents.
I'm not giving much of an answer, just a few examples.

Thank you very much. It's always good to be given examples of what sizes they are capable of reaching. As with snakes in general I guess the amount and frequenzy of feeding have alot to do with how big they end up being...

I'd say: go for it, Daniel!

Then add some ball pythons and your collection is just fine!
