Thanks for looking.

oh Simon ....he is gorgeous !!
looks like a healthy eater too :)

[Simon Sansom]

Thanks everyone!

Yes, Silke, he's a good eater now, but he went through some rough times when he was younger. He went off his feed several times for extended periods during his early years and he had a respiratory infection which took a while to clear up properly, so I think that his early growth may have been slowed considerably. He's over five feet in length, but quite slender, whereas the female's seven feet and chunky. She's been a savage feeder all her life, with no problems whatsoever.

I'm really hoping for some little orange babies this season...

Cheers!

Simon
