The title

I thought castaneiceps was agreed on to be a variant of heros. Therefore, it'd be the same size as arizonensis, which is another variant.

I would agree, but from what I've seen, the castaneiceps are the ones that tend to grow extra large (10in+).

I thought castaneiceps was considered the smaller variant, I think arizonensis gets biggest

FR? Can I see a pic? And how do people measure it, mouth to anus right?

I’ve seen 9inch castaneiceps from head to anus online, is there a arizonensis that’s the same size or bigger? Pure curiosity, not trying to be rude

I’ve seen some big red heads, but that doesn’t mean that they are the largest necessarily.

Have you seen bigger arizonensis’s? I could be wrong but it seems that even when given enough amount of nutrients (meaning in captivity as a pedeling) they only really get up to 18cm and I have seen 22cm red heads, don’t know if there are bigger arizonensis’s out there.
