Question about l010a

Post by Ama1988 »

I have acquired my own red lizard whiptail and I'm very happy!
The only thing is, online I see conflicting information. Some sources say the fish gets about 11 cm/ bit over 4 inch, while other sources claim 18 to 25 cm/7 to 10 inch. I would love to know the real fullgrown size.

Interesting they take so long to grow! I bought mine as a baby and it's about 5 cm now. I don't know exactly how old it is though. It was the last one from the nest.

They reach their adult size around 2 years old I believe. I gave the size at 10 years because we are sure that the growth is over and that gives an idea of the long term.
