I was wondering if the different morphs of burms, will be as big as the regular ones.
What about the granite morph?
You often see in cornsnakes, that the morphs will stay smaller than the wildtype ones.

Thanks Jonas

I would think it largely depends on locality and bloodlines and to a lesser extent, food intake; mainland Granites reach about the same sizes as mainland normals from what I have seen. There are however, Dwarf forms as well from Bali and Sulawesi that tend to reach six or seven feet. Some recognize them as a seperate subspecies, P. b. progschai.

Based on what I've seen over the years the various morphs typically reach the same size as normals/wild-type. Eric mentioned most of the factors affecting their size. I personally believe that "proper care" is another factor.

Have a good one!
