it all depends how much island(dwarf) blood they have in them. and also how much they are fed. i have seen a pure jampea get fourteen foot, but this animals was feed very heavily to see how big she would get. mine is a 50% dwarf, and a female...so if fed properly she will probably top out at around twelve foot. a twelve foot retic is about the same diameter as a seven or eight foot boa constrictor. they are not too bad at twelve foot as long as they are raised properly. i know a guy who has 75% superdwarf albinos and the female is eight foot and probably wont get any bigger. and some of the superdwarf x dwarf combo males stay under six foot. it really depends on the amount of dwarf blood, and the feeding schedule. she is about six foot and a little smaller in diameter of a pop can. she is an 09 hatch. i have had mainland retic females hit ten foot in a year with normal feeding, so it is really nice to have a little smaller retic!!!

Thanks for the info :). I wouldn't mind having a 6' male, especially if it looked like yours. Nitelion is right--that's one beautiful albino! Unfortunately, though, knowing my luck, I'd get one and it would grow to 14', and have animal control breathing down my neck, as here, we aren't allowed any snake that commonly gets longer than 8' :).
 
thanks to all for the comments. if you get a 75% superdwarf male, and fed it one approprietly sized meal per week...i would ALMOST guarentee it wouldnt top six foot, that is about the highest dwarf percentage of any morph retic as of now...a pure superdwarf male will not get a whole lot bigger than a big adult female corn!!! seriously, they are really cool. and i agree that my dwarf female is the prettiest white phase albino retic i have seen, but i REALLY love the purples too. i just wish ted strickland wouldnt have been a.....well i wish he would not have pushed the ban through right before he left office, because i would really love to continue to breed my dwarf and superdwarf retic stuff....what are ya gonna do???
