trofius Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 These guys are only young. their first mouthful was about 2 months ago. the male is about 9 -10cm, the girls are 6-8cm. As a guess they are less then a year old. Thanks for the comments...she is still holding , one day and counting. Soooooo tempted to strip her, but these guys flip out so easily, and are damm hard to come across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trofius Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 Thanks Luke well from the 13 that hatched , one didnt quite hatch and died, and 4 more have stopped moving, today mainly because they had a bit of a move abouts that could not be helped, and the small tank they were in changed temp pretty quick when i opened the garage door to do the water changes this morning, they are now sitting in the top of a 4x18 that has the parents in.
