Currently, I have a young breeding pair. Male's probably close to 4". Here are some painfully bad pictures (of the female guarding eggs on top of the pot).

Mine are only about 2" and I can't sex them yet. balton777;2397650; said: Monster Festivum? Click to expand... Yeah I know All relative though, I'd call my old 8"er a monster, for a festivum anyway.
