My Female Jampea Dwarf Retic, these are not true dwarfs but grow smaller than Retics from the mainland the above female is about 3.5 meters and about 8 years old. She dropped 28 eggs on wed the 4th of July (American Independence Day). Haha quiet ironic that these guys are now totally banned in the USA, as well as other large boids.

Really stoked with these guys and congrats to Kenny (Repzotics), i hoped i spelled your company right Kenny, who gave me the oppertunity to work with these fantastic specimens.

Well done "D", I remember the pictures you sent me of when they locked up.

Well done man :-) I'm sure you can't wait for them to hatch.

That ban must've been a tough one for reptile keepers. What happened with the big Python breeders like Jay Brewer, Bob Clark etc?

Thats a big clutch for a dwarf. Well done.

The retics were saved off the banned list. That act was never passed. Its just the African rock python, the burmese and two anacondas that were listed in the end. It was touch and go for the retics and the boas constrictors but sanity prevailed in the end.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

That ban applies to the US, not us. Pretty sure we'd be able to import from other places like the UK?
