How many eggs did she lay. They look great. I hope to pick up some Super dwarf het albinos.

Great Job on sucessfully breeding your supers. Please follow up with some weight and length measurements from mom and dad. Also, the same for hatchlings would be great!
Thanks for sharing.

VERY nice dwarfs

I have a pair of CB babies from Dan from last years clutch. Here are some sizes and dates to coincide with them. Some were taken on full stomachs and some on empty so it wasn't super precise. The fact that they are now nearly a year old and aren't even close to 1000 grams is pretty amazing to me.

Also, I got some information from Lance Hartman on his gorgeous Supertiger retic Isa regarding her growth. Gives you an idea of size comparison for age.

Nice date David. The growth rate differences are pretty amazing, aren't they? Having a normal, a 50% dwarf and some full dwarf retics, I have seen the same thing. I just wish I had been wise enough to get some weights along the way. Never too late to start, right?

[David Bellis]

Never too late. I used to be really good about keeping track of everything but as the collection grows the time diminishes. If you do start keeping track of growth I'd love to see some of the info in a few months.

id love to start a small collection of super dwarf retics. they are slightly more manageable than their 25ft cousins!
