Depending on which subspecies of Greeks, the males range from 5inches to 8-9inches. Danny can be more specific if he gets a chance to reply to this thread.

RE: I know this is so stupid but how big do Greek males get?

Holly, can you post pics of your Greek. One pic from the top looking down on him, one of his back area as if he is walking away from the camera and one of his tail (looking at the underside of the tail area). Then as Anja said 'If /or when Danny gets a chance to reply to this thread he will have the pics to help identify him. I had a Greek I was told was golden then found out from Danny it was not. Love him just the same, but now I know so if I breed, I breed with the right female subspecies and I can get his habitat and diet correct.

RE: I know this is so stupid but how big do Greek males get?

Hi Holly,
It does depend on which subspecies your Greek male is as to how big he'll get. If he is a Golden greek he won't get any bigger, if he's an Antakyan greek he might get to 6 inches.
How are you measuring your male?
Look I don't even have to ask for pictures Tongue Thanks Robyn

RE: I know this is so stupid but how big do Greek males get?

Hi Holly,
Robyn's greeks are natural crosses between Jordanian and Antakyan greeks. So yours could be the cross or Jordanian or Antakyan.
We really need to see pictures to be sure. Big Grin
