[KevinGG]

Anyone know what a breeding size female weighs and measures?

Also interested in what people have paid for adults. Thanks

Usually when you read survey papers and the groups are 'males' ' females' 'subadult' 'juveniles' you will see size break-off for the bar charts or graph, whatever they use. Those smaller 'females' correspond to smallest that can reproduce.

Thanks Will. Appreciate your help. Some of these papers have been very helpful.

Your female is quite small. My one and (I thought she was on the smaller side) is only 1.096kg and 14.5cm. The interesting thing is mine is heavier than yours but if I work out the cm in inches google says it is only 5.7 inches. So in effect my female is smaller than yours. I will weigh and measure her again tonight and see if there is a difference in weight and measurement. Theoretically she should still be the same measurement but her weight could still change right?

My two females are rather large. The biggest is 1250gm and 7.75". the smaller one is 900g and 6.75". My male is 7" and 780g
