I raised them from slings to mature adults and then sold them to a breeder. One was a male, one a female. I'm just kind of put off by the slow growth rate. They were beautiful but both didn't take to handling at all. The female was a hair flicking beast even during cage maintenance. The A. gens are nice but I'm leaning towards something that maxes out at 5"-6". Thanks for the input!</p></blockquote><p></p>
