    Wow that group is growing fast and beautiful. I would love to see some weight and length stats on them I agree with your sexing eye... 1.2 in that group. In my 6 from Tom, there is only one so far that looks to be female... Hoping for more of course.

    Yeah I was not aware that Fife had any imported SAs. The 2 that I have remaining from R. L. I'm not sure if they are F1s or F2s or F3s etc. The 6 I got from @Tom are F2s at best. So the different blood line coupled with the fact she is an F1 is awesom.

    Really great addition to your group. I especially like the fact that she is from a different blood line than pretty all other pps here In the US. That just may give me the incentive to get a few of her babies from you;)

    Well I hope that I have at least a couple of females in this group... the next 6 - 12 months will be very telling.

    Here are some individual photos of the group @diamondbp style;) Since the beginning of June, they have been spending about 10 - 11 hours outside every day then sleeping in their indoor humid closed chamber each night. Here in Florida the summer months are the monsoon season so the humidity...

    Great update as usual Byron. Love the pics. Your 1 1/2 year olds are BIG.

    If you jinx this group for me then you owe me a couple of females :)

    I just pick unique visual queues from their carapaces. According to my wife, I spend way too much time 'staring' at them... I prefer calling it 'carefully observing their behaviour'. ;)

    Flo is still looking very male based on his anal scutes and has really started to put on the grams... he may be the heaviest one at their next weigh in.
