I love limas also. As far as I know there's no real possible way to sex them besides disection, but I have three and one by far outgrows the others. I believe this one is a female. Currently 14 1/2". The others are 10" and 12". I've had the 14" for a year. Here's some pics. I wouldn't try to house them with a tsn for very long. They will become lunch eventually as the tsn outgrows them 3 to 1.

Necro,you have nice cats.Funny how one of ours is out growing the other two as well.Our tsn is woosy and eats very little so far.He is around 8 inches and just too slow compared to how our Limas eat.How big do these guys get?
 
Tsn get 3-4 1/2' long, limas get 18" long to 24" long.
