Just curious as to who has seen the largest retic and how large was it. My biggest girl right now is almost 12" in diameter. She is almost 4 years old, and still has occasional growth spurts.

The largest female recorded in nature had a DW of 422mm (16,6"). You can read more about that here:

16"+ females are also known in the hobby (but rare).
