Festae have been popular for years and years. Lots of people have them, even more want them. Yet I hardly ever see large adult males posted. Where's all the 13"-16"++ Festae??

Post pics if you have one, or have had one in the past and still have it's pic. Even if it's not yours. If your friend has one, go to his house and snap a pic lol.

***This thread is only for the Big Festae. I'm not expecting many pics but hopefully we'll get at least a few. Thanks.***
 
After the 12" F0 male I had died I never ventured back into festae ownership. I agree there does seem to be only a few really big ones.

Sorry to hear it. Do you mind if I ask how it met it's fate?

I suspect that it was bloat, but not real sure as it happened kinda sudden. No real signs to indicate anything else.
 
He was gorgeous but a bit too small to qualify for this thread. As mentioned, there probably won't be many photos because I'm really only looking for the larger male Festae that have already thickened up and have some bulk. Thanks. :)

Bloat? Is that's what's killing off all the Festae before they're full grown monsters? It doesn't seem to be a common problem with them...at least ime.



I'd like to have at least a couple of whoppers posted.
Modest Man, do you mind going to Mel's and snapping a pic of his?

Green Terra, are you keeping yours? You mentioned you might sell him. :(
 
Wow VRWC, now that's what I'm talking about...he's a monster. Completely excellent specimen. And the pic date says 2007, it's got to be a behemoth now four years later.

I'm a member of several other forums but almost never post at the others...just here. Is that guy still around?
