    Northern Sumatran size?
    I've got myself convinced that my little short tail isn't a borneo like she was originally labelled as. I could never find any borneo that looks even similar to her. I came across some orange headed northern sumatrans at an expo a couple of months ago and she looked identical to similar sized babies. I've done a bunch more looking and she looks almost exactly like the picture on VPIs website. I've checked the head scale diagrams and from what I could see she aligns more with the Sumatran pattern than the borneo, though not quite exactly the same.

    But a description under the picture that she looks like, they say that variety of sumatrans rarely exceed 3 feet. Is that really all the larger they get? I love her looks and attitude. But in a bit disappointed that's all the larger she might get. I've been looking forward to her reaching about 5 feet and thick in a few years. If she's what I'm sure she is, Atleast she'll be a thick and curvy shorty.

    I want to post some pictures but for some reason I can't get tapatalk to load the pictures anymore. So if someone is interested in some more pictures for better identification, PM me and I can email you the pictures.

    Thanks ,
    Kyle

    Sumatrans are supposed to stay smaller but I would still expect over 3'. My male sstp is about 4 feet and will be four this year.
