Well a dwarf can reach 14' and a mainland can be held at 12'..all down to how you feed. I have Saru on a small weaner rat once a week. Apparently the only time to crank up the feeds is for a female who is close to laying.
So a dwarf could be kept quite small :)

or you could feed it what it actually needs not what to what size you want it to be. This i consider to be cruel not feeding a snake its requirements but folks wanting to kee them manageable and small. these are big snakes you dont want a big snake dont get one

Although diet DOES play a big part in the growth and final size, most of it will be down to genetics - hence the price tag of dwarf/super dwarves.

I think buying mainland and expecting 12 feet is probably not advised :/

I'd be lucky if this girl only attains 12

yeah i'm feeding mine well, but not power feeding..I expect around 13'- 15' for Saru. Same as my Royals, Slinky moved to rats at a year old.

*chuckles* Well I am following advice given to me by experienced Retic Breeders afterall they are the experts on the subject.
They do not have to be huge, large snake?
Yes of Course they are.

Why didnt you just go for a dwarf if you had that size in mind?

I honestly think you will be in for a shock if thats how big you're expecting him to be Janie.
