At 3 yrs old, he looks slightly too big to be a pure Nic.....although...it is hard to tell from the picture as the angle it was taken could be deceiving from my point of view. Of all the Nics I have, none appear to be quite that big at 3. Does he appear fat? I realize different husbandry could explain differences in size, especially if it's a slight difference. Maybe he was overfed OR much older than 3?????

OR maybe he's a result of a nic crossed with something else AND simply shows more nic traits than whatever the other parent was??? (less likely though)

All these questions I pose are questions that I'd hope the person you traded with could answer. Can you post more pics? Another option...maybe its some form of Central American but not necessarily Nic? Some Centrals do get larger than nics.

Not many people are captive breeding Nics now, let alone 3 yrs ago, especially since farmed babies come in so cheap.
