Re: Maybe in a few years....

And what are the approximate lengths that SD's, dwarfs and normals get? I know in the wild they get up to 33 ft, but what's the normal length in captivity?
Anybody know if you need a license to own one in Georgia? I plan on moving there in the next year or so, and I was looking at different sites but I didn't see them banning/restricting anything other than native species.
lol Lankyrob your retic sounds like my BP.

First of all, normals DO NOT get 33 feet, the world record breaking snake was fluffy who passed away at 25 feet, twinkie is also 25 feet and currently holds the record, Medusa (the farmer hick town idiot medusa) is about 23 feet and so is rosie, Medusa owned by Harry Wessles will soon claim the title, as the first 25 foot snake who isn't ridiculously obese, medusa is trim and a fantastic example of a retic.

Size depends on morph and locale, some locales like sulawesi's get massive, while other locales like bali, button, selayer, and a few others stay around the 16 foot range, and some like superdwarves max around 8 feet for females and 6 for males if you don't over feed them.

Keep in mind that there are no super dwarf morphs, all SD morphs are not 100% super dwarf and therefor get slightly larger-much larger then their actual superdwarf counterparts. That being said, if you breed a morph into a superdwarf enough times the offspring should stay quite small, because the offspring are high %age superdwarves.
