Info on Retic Genetics (dwarfs and super dwarfs)

Hi I was wondering if someone could explain to me the genetics of Dwarfs and Super Dwarf Retics. I have a pretty good grasp on Mendelian genetics but I’ve been searching around the web and can’t seem to find the info I need. For example if I breed a super dwarf with a regular retic will I get all dwarf retics or will I get all 50% super dwarf offspring? And by the same token if I breed a super dwarf with a dwarf will I get dwarfs and super dwarfs or will all the clutch be 50% dwarf 50% super dwarf?

Lastly on a somewhat unrelated question what is the blizzard morph. I just acquired super dwarf female that is supposed to be double het for blizzard but again I can’t find any info on this. Would this be comparable to the snow ball python morph?

Any info would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks

My knowladge is basically from hearsay, but ill try to help. A super dwarf to noral would produce 50g super dwarfs or basically a snake the size of a dwarf. Super dwarf to dwarf is a combination of both 50%super dwarf 50% dwarf. (Size compairson is female dwarf:14 ft female super dwarf:10ft, so a 50/50female:12ft) hope this helps.

And as for the blizzard, id pm Monster Cages, I believe that's where your double het came from.

Hope I helped! Pm me and ill try to explain it better if my english failed

Thanks for the info. This is what I thought but was trying to make sure. I guess I was just getting a little mixed up since both Dwarfs and Super Dwarfs have the name "dwarf" on them I thought perhaps they were somehow related and I was trying to draw analogies from ball python genetics where when the word "super" is added to a name it simply means it's homozygous for the visual trait but this has more to do with percentages of bloodlines than with simple single gene mutations. Anyway, thanks for the clarification.
