She just shed so I thought I'd snap a pic. I really like how clean her white is, much more white and less cream colored than my other two northerns.

Big girl. I've no experience w/ Northern Pines. Is she typical of their size as yearlings?

Her parents are both 8 footers. I've read some folks on here say their yearlings were 4'. She's a little shy of that, but she's obviously gonna get big.

I wouldn't be surprised at 4 ft for a yearling. My black pine is pushing 40 inches and not quite a year old yet. I know it's a different subspecies but I don't think they grow as big as northerns.

I used to have a breeding pair of black pines. They may not get as big as northerns but the babies are out huge out of the egg. My male black pine was around 6.5' and seemed to still be growing at a good clip. I still regret selling them.

Hi Don,

Just curious, is that the one you got from me?

And I'm glad I did. Some purchases you regret, but these are exactly what I was hoping they'd turn out to be. Awesome Pines Russ.
