Size Comparison (Dorbignyi)

jimfmcdonald Dec 24, 2007 04:39 PM

Now that my adults are as big as they will get I am surprised at the size difference from male to female. All of my western hogs and tri color hogs are much closer in size then these Dorbignyi. Is there this much difference in any other hognose that any of you might have? (Eastern, Mexi, Madagascar giants,) or any others? This female is about 36" and the male is only about 16" and the baby is about 7" at 6 months old.
