Im happy to show other folks a picture of our oldest female pilbara, she was hatched at our facility in late 2001. Most people would believe female pilbaras are much smaller then males, my belief is if they live long enough they almost or can match a male for size, the problem is most captive females die from over breeding and stress long before they reach their full size. This girl bred for 5 consecutive years and put out 7 clutches of fertile eggs the year before last, she didnt cycle any eggs this year but Im guessing it was more due to the red ant problem we had in our enclosures and had to do complete cage cleanouts 3-4 times in the spring/summer interupting this pairs normal breeding patterns. I just went to clean out one of their hide boxes and caught them both in there lying low for a little winter break, the one on the left is the female and was hatched 12/10/01. The male is our original male and is a year and a half older [pictured on the right]. What a joy they have both been to keep over the years.
Cheers, Robert Sutton
