Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nicolas C" data-source="post: 87961" data-attributes="member: 3795">Sorry for my late answer. About maturing, as you know it all depends on feeding schedule + temps. My male matured about one year and a half after being born. Fast growth rate.I tried to find one picture of my male one molt before maturing, and same for my female. Unfortunately, my pictures are bad (they are so secretive...), and the one from the male is taken with a flash (which changes the coloring) and the other one not. Not good to give you a visual idea. Anyway, here they are:The male: [ATTACH]18409[/ATTACH]The female: [ATTACH]18410[/ATTACH]And, just for the pleasure, the female once matured: [ATTACH]18411[/ATTACH]As far as I remember, I wasn't able to tell them apart before maturing. But, once again, I could be wrong and my memory could be mistaken...</blockquote>
