    Size issue

    Hey guys, I have a male mojave that i am planning to breed this season, but i do have a few concerns that id like opinions on. First off, he is about 2,800g. He doesnt seem "fatty" or unhealthy in any way. Hes just a super huge male. Is it normal to have a male get this big?

    second, one of the females is about 1,700g tgat he will be breeding to. Will this be ok considering she is about half his size?

    Not to derail the thread, but are you sure he's a male? Also pics would be nice just to see.

    It's not unusual for a male to get that big. my het pied male is around 3000 grams.

    I know but I'm just saying if he never checked, that he should double check. I'd just like to see the picture of the size for my curiosity.

    It certainly doesn't hurt to check if you don't know for sure. I could post a pick of mine later if you like.
