Really big Gargoyle

[mfeit]

Hey all,
I was taking some weights today and thought you may enjoy this. I have several females that weigh in over 70 grams, but this girl is ridiculous.

Her stats:
88 grams
10 inches from her snout to the tip of her regrown tail.
This is at the end of breeding season.

Wow, that is a fatty! What is her diet regiment?

[Dragonflames81]

I thought 50 grams was big on mine, you make mine look like dwarfs : )

[mfeit]

I keep most of my aurics in groups of 1.5 or 1.4. The groups are housed in 65 gal. Reptariums. The groups are fed approx. 2 fl oz. of CGD three times a week. She is the plumpest of her breeding group, but there is not a single female that weighs less than 75 grams in her group, and they are all between 9 and 10 inches with regrown tails. They have all been raised entirely on MRP products since I hatched them about 3 years ago.

I do apologize for the quality of the pic, but if you look closely you can see that she is in shed, and her skin started to pull away around her neck and abdomin. I think it makes her look a bit rollier than normal.

Off topic a bit but do you have any pictures of the reptariums that you'd be willing to share or PM me? I have a couple of the 65 gallon reptariums too and I never really know how to set them up, I find it's kind of hard with the mesh to prop up branches so I usually zip tie them to the plastic frame...

hey mike how big is the male in your groups? My male just does not seem to go over 35 grams. He wont eat crickets anymore just the diet. He eats a lot of it to. I'm wondering if I just have a smaller male. I mean hes not skinny at all and looks almost chunky for his size, hes not as long either as my females. Hes also the only male I've owned so I can't compare him to other males I've had.

[mfeit]

My males are all between 40 and 65 grams, depending on age, bloodline, etc.

[chahoua]

Crikey that's is huge. I have a male who weighs in at 70grams and I thought he was big...lol.
