    They will reach 5-5.5" in three months if you keep up with daily large WC and power feeding. Good Luck... Any Pics?

    So a bit late with Pics but here they are. unfortunately we lost one in shipping, zero degrees and FedEx running 5 hours late, no much you can do. 6 of the 7 acted like nothing happened.

    the Replacement from Hans for the shipping loss was a bit more than expected. 2.5 inch wound up being about 3.5 and after one day in the tank it acts like it has been there for a week with the rest

    just one of his Blue Snakeskins, I spoke to Hans on the phone about this one as I had the same question. I had ordered Blue snakeskins, he said this was just more spotted. I like it, reminds me of a scorpion a little.
