He is well over 4', and I have a great female approaching 4' for him to mate with. As far as comparing them to "normal" easterns, I havent done much work with "normals". I have seen many TINY babies in the wild, and would think that these are bigger....but that opinion would be subjective not objective. The VERY big milks I have found are almost all male. The big female I have is cb(but thats not to say they dont exist). There just havent been enough clutches to determine that--my big female gave me all big slugs this year. I am continuing to work with this species because of the challenge they present. They are hard to find, hard to establish, really hard to feed,and relatively hard to breed.So when they have PERKS(size/morphs)I am their biggest champion. I know it took me 5 years to FIND both a male and female that would eat......never mind breed. So, as far as neonate size/egg size I would say likely but not yet proven. --sorry again for the bad pic,Jeff
