By the way. Dwarfs are locales or captive genetic mutations?

Dwarves are subspecies. they evolved to stay smaller due to conditions on whichever island the locale in question came from. My jampea female is going on 3 years old and is only 8 feet or so long, and a little heavier then my biggest ball python. It's definitely not due to under feeding either she's a pig. And the kalatoas are the smallest of the locales with females topping out around 7 feet and males under 6.
I wish they would just enact a permit system, I'd be so happy.
Mikoh4792, I agree with the small cage comment. my tiny tics are going to get the same size cages 20+ foot retics get. And I still want to give them more climbing room.
