He might be Corsican, Shaz. I understand they are relatively large for hermanni hermanni.
He's a lovely chap - is he yours?

He will make a handsome pet for someone.
But not for me, as I already have at least 3 male hermannis!

Maybe it is like with people - someone is just bigger and someone smaller. Last edited by Hanako; 01-08-2013 at 10:08 AM. |

Yes some are bigger than others just like people, then we have got regional variations as well. The males are really quite a lot smaller than the females.
Hanako I think your male will end up bigger and heavier than he is at the moment. He might be having a rest from growing at the moment. I have one male who was growing and gaining weight hugely last year, but this year he's just gone up a little. I don't think there is anything wrong though.
