wow how long you had him and what size tank are you gonna keep him in when he's fully grown

 

[snyder810]

well he's in a 220 and i believe his growth is going to be really slow from here, right now the 220 offers plenty of space. so we'll see how much bigger it grows and i'll go from there. i believe 2 foot is close to max on these guys from what i'v read. and it came with the 220 when i bought it off a guy not quite a year ago. he was pretty skinny as the previous owner fed it just flake and feeders, and it doesnt really like feeders.

 

[snyder810]

has anyone ever managed to keep two of these together?

 

[jojo_nature]

Had him about 4 year's now he cost about £7 .

from what i've read they can be really territorial, but someone on here keeps 2 or 3 of them together.

Took some searching, but CYBR keeps or at least kept 4 together.
