Has anyone owned tremper giants? How big did they get? Where the offspring as large as the parents?

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

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....
Tremper Giants

Yes. Years ago.
Depended on the individual. Sometimes 70s. Sometimes 130s. These were from "G" to "SG" pairings in most cases. Sometimes "SG" to "SG" with mostly similar results (some huge, some big, and some normal-sized). I also had a male from "SG" to "G" that topped out at like 55-60g. His babies, though, would often get over 100g.
Yes and no. See above.
In my experiences, the mode of inheritance claimed was likely just slapped on there and was probably a colon-withdrawal.
It behaved more like a line-bred aspect (big geckos are more likely to make big geckos) than a strict co-dominant trait with a super form. I believe the claimed weight & length standards to be quasi-arbitrarily assigned and not necessarily reflective of the reality when growing out a large number of animals of known lineage. Partly matter-of-fact. Partly marketing.
I liked working with the giant line stuff in the context of other projects like RAPTORs and super snows. I eventually resorted to just describing the offspring of being from giant line parentage rather than trying to play around with claiming some little baby or juvenile was a giant or "super giant" sort of thing since I found that it often enough would not play out according to the claimed mode of inheritance and I did not want to mislead buyers with someone else's marketing materials in that way.
