OK, just for you BIGONE. It's best pic I could get. The very heater I forgot to switch back on.

very nice FH! i'd guess that it's a male ZZ? how long did it take to get to 9", or what's the normal growth rate in this specimen?

Yup, male red dragon ZZ. I've only had him for about 2-3 months, so can't comment too much on his growth rate. He's certainly filled out a fair bit since I've had him.
Amazingly I got him for virtually nothing, in part exchange for some fish at one of my LFS. He was sitting dejected at the back of a tiny tank, full of (mostly dead) plants. He was in good condition, but thinner than I would have liked. No label, no price, the staff thought he was a trimac. I asked how much he would be, considering that I had just donated some fish to them, and they said I could have him for nothing.
