I wonder how old it must be?

Hmmm I would guess 6-8 years. I'm guessing the ones that grow large are WC. I just remembered there was one about the same size in my lfs I should have grabbed it but didn't

That's pretty neat,I've never heard of anyone breeding them.These guys are one of my favorite mini monsters.I have only seen big ones in photos but their spots and colors don't seem to be as distinct at large sizes.
