Oh.. I didnt know that..

Apparently they were heck to breed until Joy Reed discovered this little secret and posted her entire regime on the ATS.

I dont doubt it may have been legally shipped here.. But I can say for sure.. If she is 7".. I highly doubt she is a captive bred.. Just my opinion though..

I think you have a good point . Its wierd , cause when people usually get WC specimens , they get bigger than CB . Maybe its something we are doing wrong ? Lol

Habitat size can limit growth. I think many keepers are too conservative with their set-ups.

Update

She is not taking prey now. She has never been a voracious eater to begin with, but now she seems to be refusing to eat. Her abdomen is quite plump, and I have her drinking from her dish at least three times in the past month.
I have my fingers crossed, she may be starting premolt.
