    Dwarf Snakes

    A while back I noticed that some members had dwarf snakes among their litters, I was just wondering the status on these guys and hoping to get some new pics . I think they look very interesting and I would someone day like to get one.

    Thanks for any info

    Re: Dwarf Snakes

    I have a dwarf Chechered. At least that's what I think she is.
    She's much shorter and smaller than her siblings.
    She's the baby Chechered that escaped after birth and was found almost 2 months later. She's eating well but not putting on much size. Time will only tell whether she makes it of not.

    Can someone explain what separates a dwarf from a runt? or are they describing the same thing.

    Here is a pic with a normal littermate.It is growing faster than any other baby I have.Maybe it is not a dwarf.Maybe it is a super snake!Maybe it will get three feet and keep its girth!

    I'm not sure what to call her but I don't think going without food for 1.5 months had any effect on her length.
    She was born shorter than all her siblings and has stayed small even during these extra feeding times she's been receiving.
    I love her and will keep her on the Ranch.
