That's every bit as long,SVL as my female C.Cornuta in the 8-10yr age. She looks alot like the ones from Guantanamo, Do you know what part of Cuba she came from ?

This one is from Mayaguez. Based on the number of previous owners and the length of her few spikes ( She had been abused by males with a previous owner), she is beleived to be in her 20's. She was only 2.1 KG and 33cm SVL when I owned her.

She is captive bred F1 from a female that comes from Cuba, Mayari/Holguin. Her mother had the same colour but not was as big, the link below is the father.
She is very aggressive , my biggest nubila male (8,2kg and 56cm SVL, 9 years) is also affraid of her when she attacks him. Only in the breeding season she will accept him for only 2-3 weeks. She also attacks me when I trie to remove the eggs, she laid.

Cuban females can be strong spirited. The female in my last post shared a cage with a female rhino iguana twice her size. When being fed, or choosing basking sites, she was the dominant animal. She could not be kept with a male cuban, as they would always fight -- very tempermental.

I prefer rhinos, but that cuban female had a ton of personality -- always greeting with head bobs.
