Liz is a big 'un

Nice. I never knew they got so big. Is she average or usually big?

Nice. I never knew they got so big. Is she average or usually big?

I have a male that matches her ... in size if not bigger , and by far the two largest CherryHeads ... I've seen or owned. I would say for the both of them unusually large for Cherryheads and debunking the myth ..or should I say the much to used clause.... "a dwarf species of Redfoots"

Yes, now that you say that, I do remember the pics of a large male you have. Have you ever seen the two of them mate and if you have, has the eggs or hatchlings ever been unusually large?

She is my best breeder and kicks out 50+ eggs a year. Her babies are outstanding and when mating with Oscar ...great coloring. Her babies are BIG and few weeks back she was the one who dumped a rather huge egg ( there is an old thread somewhere),,,,,, we shall see ~

 

[wellington]

Oh yes, I remember that egg. Guess it was good that she layer it. If one of the smaller ones would have, well, OUCH Can't wait to see what comes of that egg. Be sure to keep us posted.

Wow!!! She is a big girl!
BIG AND BEAUTIFUL
I saw that large egg too!! I
cant wait to see that baby!!
So exciting!!

Pio is 10 1/2 in. and I'm praying she's full grown at 5 years old. That little lady is large!, but her babies are beautiful.

 

[CtTortoiseMom]

Wow, I wonder if that giant egg you have will turn out to be like Queen Elizabeth....

 

[tortadise]

Nice JD. Ive seen some 60 pounders before way back when. Northern Paraguay and southern Brazil types get quite large. These are some nice ones. Queen liz?

 

[N2TORTS]

Brazilin'......and yes Kelly, I guess when compared to some other species of Redfoots they could be considered " dwarfs" ...in "terms" ~

 

[Hustler]

That is the biggest cherry female I have seen yet. All the time i hear "but they are dwarfs so I wont need a big enclosure" Wish i had a lunker to pull out right then and there
