Well went and meet some local who helps out at a Pet shop ( he does the Herps ) ...ended up buying a nice female royal ( we probed it ) ...looks slightly reduced in pattern to me. Weighs in at 782 g.....guy reckons it is about 3 or 4 ( according to dude they bought from , not wholesale purchase ). Anyways I had been looking for a decent sized normal female ...there like Hens Teeth to get up here.

So I bought her.. Will get her up to weight soon enough ( and safely )

Take care

i reckon she should be over 1kg at 3-4yrs old, but very nice royal. Going to breed her?

yup she is a wee bit under if that's her age , but therein lies the problem , not one hundred percent sure ...the previous owner said 4yrs and female ( had her probed )....mate at shop thought she could be three, lol Why oh why don't people keep records ?? lol

once she is settled I am gonna try get a length pic of her ( the old 12" = 500g ).

Hope , to answer the breeding Q , I have a good 7 or so months to get her up to weight. According to shop record ( lucky the guy keeps them ) she eats no problems . Hoping it continues here. There's a Graziani Pastel counting on it !! Very Happy
