My new Tremper Giant.

-JayDog- Jan 09, 2005 03:55 PM

I just came back from the Northern New England Reptile Extravaganza in Seabrook, NH. It was my first expo, and I think it was a little bit smaller then I expected. It probably was not one of the big ones that I normally think of.

Anyways, I came home with two new leos, A high yellow female and Tremper Giant male which I love! I was told that the giant was one year old and would get bigger. Seeing as how I never saw a tremper giant in person, I was wondering if you guys can take a look and let me know how much bigger it will get. I'm assuming that if it's one year old, it doesn't have much more time to grow. I put a bill in the tank for scale comparison. I named him "Diesel"

Thanks

He sure is big, and what a fitting name. I can't tell you how big he'll get because I have no experience with giants. But I just thought i'd let you know what a beaut he is.

I dont have experience with Giants either, but with regular male leos they do continue to grow till they're about 2 years old. At around 1 year old they don't look much larger than the females, then the females are pretty much done growing, but the males continue to grow (not as fast) for about another year. So I'd say the guy told you right and you have about a year left of growing. Plenty of time for him to be huge.
