beardiedragon, I would like to see some pics of your GG

or GG crosses, especially if you have overhead ones.

Also, can you measure the girth of the head size, we are trying to compile some records on size differences.

Our pure GG are over 550 grams and mixes are over 400

Here's a group, the front one is GG, the middle a mix and the back is a regular

They are 50% GG & 50% Orange Glow, adults.
The sweet one weighed 2 weeks ago @ 560.
Then theres the one that likes to BITE the hand that feeds him, I have to put him in a warm soak before he settles down enough to handle.
I'll get pics, weights and head circumfrences (with gloves on!) of both boys & will post on Sunday. (I'm going to JoelRs on Saturday to pick up my 2 babies
Later,

That female is huge!!! She looks like a giant in that pool with the others. How long is she? I have a red/gold German Giant I call Anna Nicole, lol She had that name since two months old. I knew that early on she was going to be a porker just by the way she ate, and ate, and ate a little more. She is now around 14 months I think, and is 19 inches 587 grams today. She lost a bit of weight since I took her favorite super worms away. AWW how sad... Her head from point to point is 3 and about 1/2 inches across the top. Not bad at all for a female. Now Foster would win the meat head contest by far. His is just huge

Pic of Anna from above.

This is her head shot. Gees she is as photogenic as a rock, lol. Just joking, she is a very sweet girl who loves being a couch potato with me once ina while

Sandy is 20.5 inches, close to 600 grams when I put her on rations to drop back some so she has lost to 580. Her tail is shorter than some of our other girls(no nips), but her body is longer by far than any. her head from wide point to wide point is 4 inches solid... thats where she is so massive and her legs, that measure 3.5 inches in diameter at the bulk point.

She swims for hours in her pool and I think that accounts for the leg build more than weight

I had to do the same thing with Anna diet wise. She was up around 610 but it was gathering in places like her chin, lol and I think she was a bit over weight. Well, the weight was gaining in places cause she stopped growing but was still gaining. She too is around 580 now, and only gets crickets once a week as opposed to the others who get crix and a few supers, and treats now and them. I mostly just give her a nice variety salad and it has trimmed some of the extra weight off. She still has the huge jowls though, I think she lost a wrinkle though, lol. Thanks, glad you like her too. She is one of the sweeties I got running around here. She's just super friendly, and the neihbors kids just think she is the best thing on 4 legs. She too has the very large legs but not as big as yours, and her head is smaller as well, but is still large for female.

the length, the head from widest point to widest point (not with spikes) and the diameter of the back leg at the fullest. Also if you can get from the neck to the hip points between the back legs, from the tip of nose to the neck and from hips to tail tip and not if there is any nip.
Nice looking gals and the babys are always so precious looking. THey remind me a lot of Sandy when she was a baby and the girl looks a lot like her now.
