I have a 2.5ft '07 female that is floating around 700-750 grams. A 4.5ft 10yr old female that is at 2200 grams & a unknown age female that is at 9ft and 35 lbs. My female that dropped babies for me last year was 7ft and weighed 20lbs, this was the same female that was killed by my male.

My biggest key on breeding Dums is them being at least 4yrs old & at least 4ft. BUUUUT, there is always an exception to the size rule every now and then. I had a 6yr old male that was only 3.5ft and weighed about 800 grams. Was a proven breeder before I got him, He was my first Dum. I never got a chance to breed him before he passed away.

ALSO, wild Dums rarely exceed 5ft long. So PBM, you may have some pretty pure bloodlines goin there.
