I've searched through pages and pages in different forums and can't find my beloved thread. It is titled something like "Huge Old Raphaels" but searches are not turning it up. Can anyone else find it?
Missing thread about huge old raphaels.

Well, there are still plenty of good threads about giant raphaels around. I've hit them all today. I just liked that one. If I recall correctly it was several pages worth of pretty good specimens.
Right now I'm just confirming the sexual dimorphism on these guys. Seems to hold very true that the orange/brown striped with black bellies are always thinner and little more lightly built (males?) than the white-striped, ivory white-bellied, usually rounder-bellied and much more solidly-built (females?). I am 85% confident that I currently own two big males and must locate one or two females. I also found two reports that a male/female pair is much more active during the day and can be seen out looking for food, unlike solitary raphs.

No, that's a recent thread by me.
I don't remember who started the old one, but it was many pages long and there were a great number of contributors.
I'm not dropping this. What did you guys do with that thread? Do we have archives? With pictures?
