I had heard many times that tiretracks are the biggest but more and more sources say fires are the biggest but not by much comes down to 3-4 inches

People are saying they have 6 to 10" fire eels, but so far everyone is saying the thickness of their eels is the same. At what size do they start to get thickness on themselves?

You really think 10 to 12" will be thick enough to not fit through some egg crate? hmm....

 

[dragonfish]

Here is mine to give you an idea. He's over 12 inches.

I noticed that the larger one are as thick as your arm. When do they start to beef up? Yours still looks pretty slender.

 

[dragonfish]

Not sure when as this is the biggest one I've owned. Could be diet also as mine has started to thicken up on red wrigglers added to his diet.

How huge is huge though?

My gentle giant was thicker and longer than my arm!

 

[Peanut_Power]

Yeah, I member yours. Why you get rid of it? How long before it started getting thick? I am wanting to get at least one....but I only have egg crate as lids. So I need them to be larger....

Your FRT didnt mess with him? I had to seperate mine because they kept getting triangle pattern bites on them

Yes, eventually they had to be separated.

A trade that I could not refuse!
