I think that one is about 18 months to 2 years old. The ones my childminder has are a year old and aren't that big but they are a considerable size.

Hiya.
I have been trying to get a photo of my snoggy on here, but can't as yet. I have asked Richard for help as usual. Where would I be without him.
I haven't got them anymore, as a 12 year old asked if I had any more and I gave him mine. I thought it more appropriate than a 62 year old having them :mrgreen:

dont tell me you'd had them since you were tiny.. :shock:

Post by **wendy** » 18 Oct 2007, 17:07

Oh yes, I had them since they were little less that the size of about the end of a pencil.
I had 25 and found homes for them, kept 3 I loved them. But no one else did. I had them for about 4 years.
I now look after Matilda a couple of times a year and two that have no names one a year.

The first baby has emerged. It is the size of a peppercorn at the moment and I expect it to grow quickly. Seven more to hatch yet, and I dare say I will need a big tank to get them all in comfortably.
little darlings..aah :-D

Oh yay! None of mine have hatched at all yet! Have you got some cuttlefish? I'm all excited for you now!! :D
