    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Beautiful giants, and since you got them, can I ask you a couple of questions?

All my babies this year have a 50% chance of being giants. I know that Ron Tremper says that giants are easily separated from normals at 4-5" in length because of their longer torso and tails, but I only have one baby so far and don't have anything to compare her to. Is there any other indication of giant-hood? Do giants grow faster than normals?

Also, what is the cutoff for a small giant versus a really big normal? Is there one?
 
My understanding is that giants don't reach full size until they're 1 to 1 1/2 years old. I don't know how accurate this is but I do know that my 3 giants which are all in the 9 months old range are definitely still growing.
Don't you just love their temperments?
 
I think that giants don't get to fat at a young age because they're too busy growing in length and therefore dont start getting really fat until they get older.
 
I don't know Steve, because my giant "Sarah" is a real FATTY .She has rolls of fat under her arms and her tail's bigger around than my thumb.She's still growing length wise too.
 
Ah well......Knowing "Sarah" She could be an exception to the rule too.She's a strange one and there's nothing she hates more than to move which probably explains those fat rolls. LOL
"Sarah" is 9 months old, 81 grams as of last week and nearly 9 inches long.Her clutchmate is smaller. "Hannah" only weighs 68 grams and is a little over 8 inches.There is 2 days difference in age. Both their parents were Tremper Albino giants. Their half brother (who was supposed to be female and giant) is approximately 6.5 inces and 42 grams.
 
I also think that it does take full maturity for them to realize their full size
Samson is 89 grams at one year and still growing-not sure of his length but as you can see from the pic of him on my hand-he is quite long
Ms D is 60 grams at about one year and Bullseye is 74 grams at about one year of age
Oddly enough-Ms D is very skittish when being handled-from what I have read from other folks-odd behavior for a giant-Samson and Bullseye are the typical laid back giants
I think that they are just beautiful animals and I am quite enthralled with them
:D
