Tetra Update.

[Snake lover 3-25]

so james how big are those tetras now?????

[adamanteus]

Yeah, I'm good, am I not?
For the past twelve with I have aspired to take photos like yours.... maybe now I have the chance.... if the sun ever comes out!

Shanley, the female is around 20 inches, at a guess.... I haven't measured her. I think she'll be breeding size next spring. The males are obviously smaller, but they should also be mature and ready to mate in 2009.
I really need to get my head around the 'snake measuring' software.

wow how old are they again???? my male isn't even mature and he's almost 2!!! (i hope he stays that way too)

[adamanteus]

I forget the birthday.... but they're '07 babies.

[Snake lover 3-25]

okay... wow that's sad.... mine'll be mature at three and they'll be at 2...... what did i do wrong???? maybe it was because he was born on july 17...... isn't that late for snakes???? also... just wondering... can they possibly have more than one litter a year????

[adamanteus]

You didn't do anything wrong. It's not a race. They grow at the rate that suits them.... they all get there in the end.

[Snake lover 3-25]

yeah... i guess....... i still wish it was a girl......

Shanley, why would you say your snake is not sexually mature?

[Snake lover 3-25]
