Super dwarf Retics or Dwarf Burms

I am wondering which is the better "dwarf" and why ?

I actually have some limited experience with each, but I am actually wonder about other peoples opinions.


The Dwarf Burms (Python bivittatus progschai) I had experience with were a pair of juveniles which were F1/F2s which never tamed down, and were always highly defensive. Although they were very aggressive in feeding - they also would strike and bite me at the first chance.

I also have some experience with a 50% dwarf Burm female. Which while a bit defensive when I first got her. She quickly tamed to the point of able to handle her on a semi-regular basis. Now 2-3 months later - her temperament is quite calm and tame, when she isn't feeding.


The Super Dwarf Retics are 50% Kalatoa crossed with mainland retics. Their temperament is quite different from these of the Dwarf Burms - as they are pretty chilled, and laid back snakes, which are very curious and love to explore. I've been able to hand them from the first day I got them.
