Nice BIG female! I have a 17 year old hoggy that is 2/3rd that size.

She is a big girl as are her 3 siblings but her mother is totally huge as well (we're talking almost twice the size of the female shown), so it must be a genetic thing too as a completely separate clutch from an unrelated pairing with the same mother also yielded larger hognose than others at the same age whose father is the same for both unrelated clutches (if any of that makes sense ). That's another trait I'm very interested in, genetic size, as most of us often overlook all of the other heritable genetics involved and just look at all of the pretty dorsal coloration and patterns.

Nice forearm tat as well...

Thanks Kenny! I originally knew it as Japanese for the word Unsui meaning "seeker of knowledge" from a Zen type of book I was reading at the time but later was also told that in Chinese it means cloud & water. The definition found on Wikipedia describes it even better. I love the Buddhist Japanese culture and the ideology of Zen, plus I love seeking knowledge and enlightenment, so it was definitely a tat I was meant to have.

Your tattoo is very interesting as well, especially because it's a language I don't instantly recognize. What language is it and what does it say?
