Thanks! I've looked all through books and websites and could never find any info on how big males are during their first breeding season. I always heard that age is more important than size with males... but there's got to be a limit. This boy still has a good 4 or 5 months to grow before I try to breed him (he'll be about 19 months then) but my albino female is MASSIVE compared to him and she'll only be 4 years old. If males can breed at three feet though, this guy is definitely on track for this season.

I was honestly worried that the male would be intimidated by the female!

Thanks again,
~kasey
