Care to show pics of your NTT? having said that I might pick-up one NTT later hehe
The pic with the tape measure was from 1 year ago. The one with my hand was taken about 6 months ago. NTT's are fairly delicate at smaller sizes, but once mine got a bit of size it has seemed to be fairly tough.

OK now I'm convinced. How long would it take for a 3incher to that size?

They are slow growers. I've had mine for about 5 years and bought him at less than 2". He's about 12" now. The growth rate did increase once it was pellet trained.

I like The Indo it is the one for me. Ihad the joy of owning a 12 inch indo that I acquired for £25 he had fantastic colour and a great temperament. I love the contrast between the bars and how rough the scales are an how well hidden those barbs are.

What pellets do you guys recommend and what other variants of food do you guys give? I have mine on Market Prawns and Chicken hearts
Mine won't touch any pellets other than Hikari Massivore. That is mostly all I feed him. Once in a while I will give him frozen krill or market shrimp
