lol both of my ribbons are tiny. The male I've had over a year and he was already an adult when I got him and he's still probably not 20 inches. The female is around 25 though so I guess for ribbons they're adult breeding size.

The big female is actually doing stuff now! She's basking, I'm going to check here in a minute and see if she ate the earthworm I put in there with her.

I guess I could call her femme for short and that'd work out fine. :D

How do you pronounce it?

I'm not good with pronunciation keys, but the closest would be like famm - the last "e" is almost silent and the first "e" is more like how an English speaking person would pronounce an "a" - like in car
and then you dwell on the "m"s a little - like you're giving them a little punch
hope that helps
