I have been offered 2 '3 year old' female russians.
They are 99% WC, which means this 'age' estimate is really just a guess.
How big would you expect a WC Russian to be at 3 years?
I know it is not a simple, at 3 years they should be 4"... I am juts looking for some guesses stories about the size of your russian or ones you know of at '3 years'
Even a range would be great.
Cheers

There's really no way to tell. Take a look at Trevor:

He's a male, and captive bred, but you can see his general size at two years and figure your wild caught female to be just a bit bigger than that. But, if its a pet store telling you the age, they are notoriously wrong!!
