    Default Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq

    Too bad i could not get the jumbo ones. Here is my Alex Piwowarski RT batch that i got from Kraig. I feed them my own BH, Dan Live California Black Worms and Al FDBW.















    Also I am working and hoping these pair up.

    Tony, how big are yours now? Mine are all around five inches now. Bet yours are bigger since you are feeding live.

    Wow, yours is a lot bigger than the three I got from the same shipment... When I got them they were only 1.5-2"... I've have them for three weeks and they are looking at about 2.5-3".

    I think it's time to update now and here is quick poor video. My smallest one is 6" and biggest one is a bit over 7". I recently moved them to bigger tank. well see if I can grow them out as big as they should be.
