On average how large do male Borneo's tend to get? I'm looking at a young male, so I am hoping as a size reference for caging in the future.

Thanks,
Stephen

5.5ft so a 4x2 ft cage should be sufficient.

How heavy do they get (compared to the females)? I'm fine with larger size, but the looking i have done has given me a wide range of weights.

Weight are variable based on age and feeding regimen. At 5.5ft my males run 20-25lbs. 20lbs is moderately lean and good for breeding weight. I have seen males pushing 30lb mark but that is pusing obesity.
