Size question

LaBete Apr 23, 2004 01:31 PM

OK, we all know that size can vary according to husbandry, appetite, etc., but there have to be some general guidelines regarding crestie size. If hatchlings are generally ~2" TL and adults are generally ~8" TL, then it would make sense for sizes in between to correspond on average to ages. To that end, I would very much appreciate if those of you who have reliable ages on your cresties would post:

~6 month old male largest SVL
~6 month old male smallest SVL
~6 month old female largest SVL
~6 month old female smallest SVL

~12 month old male largest SVL
~12 month old male smallest SVL
~12 month old female largest SVL
~12 month old female smallest SVL
