welcome back to our annual super dwarf size update video
try and do this once a year just so you can kind of see the progress and growth of my
super dwarf articulated pythons so first here we have we're going from youngest to oldest
this is a 2016 super dwarf articulated python
he is 75 and he is a purple albino he has a wonderful personality once you take him out
but when you open up his cage he comes flying at you because he's just like it's food his great
grandmother was the smallest in the world she was fully adult at 2.5 pounds at six years old
and he might be kalatoa or honey island not really sure on that just taking the information that was
given to me from uh chuck royale so he's about five years old and very manageable very nice size
not big enough to scare anyone well some people get scared at anything anyways so
there you go he's in shed right now it's it's tricky because it's just like i wanted to uh i
wanted to wait till they all shed but they're all shedding at different times this year so a few of
them just had fresh shed so the look extra nice he probably doesn't look as exciting as he could
because he's all shetty okay next
next up we have jasmine jasmine is a 2017
68.75 percent super dwarf she is a fighter tire she is a fire tiger pet purple albino so
she will make beautiful babies with hercules one day i she was she was gravid this year
but she reabsorbed so super dwarf reticulated pythons are like my bane in reptiles
because it's just they do not want to make babies for me so i just keep on keeping them
i'm just i'm telling you one year they're just all gonna get pregnant and give birth at the same time
i'm gonna have more super dwarfs than i know what to do with 18 19 20 21 so she is four years old
she is also my favorite super dwarf for just her demeanor her personality i just think she's great
she's never been nippy she's always been able to uh take out and she actually will calm down
so sometimes i'll go outside with her and she'll just chill out and let me pet her
and she just has a wonderful wonderful personality if all super dwarfs behave the way jasmine did
then i would recommend them more for beginners that is jasmine
next up we have the one the only calypso
she is my most beautiful reticulated python i believe she is just gorgeous she is a anri ultra
reticulated python she is a 50 super dwarf kalatoa from bob clark and she is quite wonderful
she is unpredictable though we could be having a very nice time together and out of nowhere
she'll just turn around and bite me i don't know if this has anything to do with her jeans i have
noticed that anarie ultra's everyone that i know with an enery ultra seems to have
aggressive twitchy personalities so
if you know anything about this or have a anri ultra that is super sweet let me know about it
she's part of okay so with ultras ultras are kind of like albinos they're they in the way that there
are three phases there is the ultra the ivory and the leucistic so the ivories kind of have
this like really cool like ivory look with black eyes do they have black eyes i think they have
black eyes the blue eyed leucistics are totally white with blue eyes and then these are ultras and
ultras are more yellow but the enery is cutting the yellow so it looks more white and they have
like black blue eyes which is really wonderful and she doesn't sit still but she's a 2017 so
i can't do math she's four years old and
if she was calmer it would be great but i still manage okay with her she's still a
pretty good manageable size and she's actually seems to be staying a little bit smaller
than my 75 percent kalatoa from chuck so i don't know if ivy's just a little bit bigger
because sometimes you end up getting some that grow a little bigger some
stay a little bit smaller but i'm very happy with calypso and her size and i wouldn't want her to
get super big i think that's the whole point of having super dwarfs that you have a snake that
stays a man of dribble size and if if you look at her body she's a lot thinner than a boa
but taking a bite from her is not very nice okay next
next up we have calypso's brother nintendo so he is also a 50 super dwarf he's an ultra pet
enery so he is what the ultra looks like without the annery even though he's carrying it inside
he's super cute he's a bit of a scaredy cat he's never been a nasty snake he's always been
really kind of nice but he is a bit scared and he's the snake that i've probably been
peed and pooed on the most although lately he's been getting better so seems that as they get
older and with time they kind of calm down a little bit more than when they're uh babies
if anything is off with him he likes to push a lot so always have to make sure everything is
on point with nintendo he's a picky little one and he is basically queen's boyfriend
oh yeah strike a pose
so how old is he
four years old 50 percent super dwarf uh when you look at him ultras when i when i first saw
like pictures of ultras i was just like wow it's amazing and most people look at them and
they think that they're albino but they're not they are the super form of fires or platinums
and i just when i saw him i was just like i need one of those so i got him for bob clark also
and ended up kind of getting calypso with him because a deal that we had kind of fell through so
ended up getting calypso on a pretty good deal so that was awesome that there's nintendo for you
four year old 50 percent ultra male still very manageable
very nice okay next up we have ivy iv is a 2015 75 percent super dwarf hat for purple or white albino
and uh so she's six years old and i really don't push my animals at all so i don't feed them a ton
i kind of maintenance feed them and then going into when it's more breeding time
feed them more try and go through that whole route but with no success yet
but to me this like i don't know i i i almost feel like my 50 percent
from bob clark might end up staying smaller than this 75 from chuck royale so just to let you know
you know just because you buy a super dwarf doesn't mean it's going to stay super small
because this is still a pretty decent sized snake now is it anything compared to getting a mainland
no it's small compared to that but if you're used to keeping snakes that more like boas and ball
pythons this is getting towards the thickness of a boa but it's much longer and they're also
i think they're stronger and they have some serious teeth on them so i've
never taken a bite from ivy fortunately her previous owner did and i think i've had her
free i've had her for years without issue but i've always been
very careful or at least i try to be i do try to keep the retakes off of my face and away from
striking distance lots of snakes i just kind of trust and they can do whatever but the with the
retex i do try to be a little bit more careful because calypso has bitten me in the face before
when trying to trust her so she proved herself to be untrustworthy okay
now let's go for the final i actually decided to do this because queen had a nice shed so i
wanted to show her to you what are you waiting for do it just do it yes you can just do it
and now for the one and only queen
i've leaned queen down over the last year over the last few years because when i first got her she
was pretty chunky so now she's uh nice and lean and uh she's a 2007 pure super dwarf so she is
so she's about 14 is that 14 years 2007 2008 2009 yes yes okay so she's 15 years old
and she's one of the first captive bred super dwarf articulated pythons she was brought
in to know her parents were brought into canada by um big d exotics dan euromovic
wonderful guy and then he ended up selling his group to uh henry pyron and henry pryron
produced the first or no he didn't pre he produced some captive bred
reticulated pythons and she was from there about two years into her life she turned calico
and if you want to learn more about the process i explain it in my first super dwarf size update
more background stories more knowledge on all these animals so if you want to hear
queen's story it's in that video and i will link that up but here you go she is one of the
first pure super dwarfs made in captivity so here you get an idea of how big these snakes can get
she's 11 feet long and she's 15 years old and she is a sweetheart also like she's there's not
a nasty bone in her body and i trust her she's she's a really good snake but when i bought her
i was told she was around nine feet so i personally wouldn't really go for a snake
this size but she also may have been fed a bit more by the people that are written that
people that originally got her or had her for the past few years
so feeding can also affect a snake size you can't really you know control a snake's growth
with feeding like you can't you don't starve an animal or anything but if you are constantly
feeding an animal more than it needs to eat then they can end up getting a little bit bigger
but uh queen has leaned out over the years and she's doing good
she's very light so i'm putting her to uh to what i'm putting her to nintendo because nintendo is
ultra which means all the babies will end up being platinum and if she is carrying annery
which could be possible because it's one of the genes that was found in the wild then
nintendo will be the one that'll prove it out or not
so there you go there's the uh there's so that's our size update for this year
and like i told you if you want to know more details about these snakes check out the first
size update because i have the full story and you can see pictures of queen before she turned calico
and learn all that stuff
