Thanks to Anja, my new girl arrived safe and sound! And.....she is huge! I am going to give her a break and leave her alone so she can relax but I will be taking pics next to one of my others to show size difference. I know this has probably been asked before, but what is the approx size for a breeding male? She seems so much larger. Thanks again Anja! I am also taking name suggestions. The first one that came to my mind was "Big Bertha" but I won't do that! LOL
Congrats on the new girl!
CONGRATS! Males breed around 5". Females do best over 6"!
Thanks Wayne.bob and Kelly! I guess I will be ok with my males then. She just looks like a monster compared to them. These boys are going to have a challenge! Kelly, do you know when yours are coming?
I'm picking them up on Monday! Man how I wish I had them here today, since Hurley is hitting up all the girlies! I hope he's still in the mood next week! (Okay I hope for my girls' sake he's not, but for getting those big girls "knocked up"... yah baby!)
Oh and Hurley is just under 5" (and I think he's full grown) and is being very successful with my 6.5 incher! Size does NOT matter when it comes to male torts, I guess! LOL!
Cool - I am ok then. Can't wait to see yours. If they are as nice as mine you should be really excited.
Hurley is an old fella, he wont be growing much. lol
Im glad she arrived safe and sound Dee.
I thought as much, Anja! He just looks old! Any idea how old OLD is? LOL! At least this really heightens the chance of fertile eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's still at it, too. I had to move the two little girls out. The other boys can fend for themselves, and I'm not worried about those big girls, heck I WANT them there! LOL! But he kept going after little Carmine and one bite on her could do some damage!
I have no idea, there is no telling really. Danny might have a better guesstimate.
