| Thanks Thomas, I was just lucky to manage the photo as it was taken through the glass so it would not disturb them. |

Great stuff Dean. It's hard to tell in the image but what is the size difference between the pair? I'm hoping to put my pair together next year - currently the male is roughly an inch or so smaller than the female. Also, what method do you prefer; leave them together permanently or only introduce them for mating? I've read lots of different views.

| The pair are roughly the same size , I mated the earlier in the year and then separated them after a week.They were really excited when I put them back together and I will leave them together for the rest of the year, |
