I had 9 babies born last year. I sold 3 of them to people I know and I have heard on 2 of the 3. One of the females is about 17 inches long at just 1 year! She looks exactly like her daddy, stripes on her back (neck to tail). The other female is about 16 inches and is red. I have no idea where the red cam from because my female is a German Giant X Snow and the Male is a Tiger/Normal X Normal. She is really calm and pretty. I haven't heard about the other one recently though. I had heard about one when he was 10 months old and he was about 15 inches. Is that a fast growing rate?
