And this time with a question.....Giant Leos?

AlteredMind99 Nov 12, 2004 09:57 AM

I have seen pictures of and heard of the Tremper line of giant leos. Is the only difference in these leo's the size? If so, how big do they have to be to be considered "Giant".

Im just wondering cause i have a male that is pushing 10inches, easily.

TIA!

The "Giant" line is actually genetic, so having a large leo doesn't neccesarily mean it has "Giant" genetics... it could just be a big guy.

Like said before "giants" are gentic, my little giant isn't yet 6 months old and is already over 8" but they don't bulk up until they get older so he isn't that fat yet.
