hi laraine, bob is about 4 inches, they will be separated for half a year anyway so i suppose it gives the little one time to toughen up

i could always try bob & the new one together to see what happens to see if they could live together.

sarah, hes coming from a breeder in northants. she has the parents and everything haha, i think it's so cute,

i cant wait to post pics.. not long now!!

Hi Alice, this one is about 6 or 7 months old, roughly 2" scl, but I have not measured properly, the little treasure didn't want to keep her head in!

that baby is gorgeous Laraine mine are just over 2 months will weigh them and measure them tomorrow but a few days after hatching they were 35mm scl and 17 grams these are my girls first clutch she is only 12 so they may be a lttle smaller than normal i didnt weigh the juveniles when they hatched unfortunately, it was 5 years ago so its to late now LOL.i certainly wont be putting them together, for a start the babys wouldnt get to the food fast enough or get mistaken for a snail and eaten thats if they dont get squashed as Laraine says they are rough enough with each other as juveniles.
