Here are some pics of a couple of our biggest dwarfs.

This is one of our 2004 female dwarfs. She is about 6 1/2 feet, hasn't grown any in the last year and pounds jumbo rats.

This is one of our adult wild caught males. He was imported as an adult so we have no idea of his age. He is the sire of the half dwarfs we produced in 2007 with our albino granite female. He is about 5 1/2 feet and hasn't grown any in the 2 1/2 years we've had him. He pounds XL rats.

This is a pic of them breeding.

Sorry I don't have a better reference for size, but I don't want to mess with the female right now. We ultrasounded her the other day and it looks like she is going to have 9 eggs and 2 duds. She is in shed now so hopefully we should have eggs in about a month.

Thank you for the pictures, they show me just what I wanted to know!

Just a few years now and maybe I can produce some myself.

BTW how was the tempers on those from the start? Mine are devils in the rack, but OK outisde.

We haven't noticed any difference inside or outside the cage. The female that is gravid right now was 2 years old when we got her and has never been the slightest bit aggressive, inside or outside the cage. Two of her siblings are aggressive and one other female has been tamed somewhat. The male that bred the gravid girl was aggressive when we got him, but has tamed down nicely as you can see from the pics I posted. He is the one I'm holding.

Taming them down isn't that hard, it just takes time and patients. It took me about a year to tame the breeder male, but I was only working with him once or twice a month.
