3 new chunky monkies came late last night. Three four year old chunkers. Settling in nicely.

They look great! Congrats! Can you give length and weights for each? It's very helpful (and not readily available) to have age/size/growth data.
Are you fairly certain they are four years old?
Thanks,
Ben

OMG, I love them
Will do. I'll do that tonight, I'd say they're around 30-45 pounds and 20" SCL or so. I think they're actually a bit older like around 5ish or so. One is a year younger than the other two.

Wow, you're getting to have a little herd there. Should be fun to see how they are together and the way they interact.
Yes indeed. I'm hoping after quarantine and screening to put blossom with them in hope s(he) will become a little less evasive and more social.
one day I will own one of these giant beauties

I'm totally with you! The only trouble is once you get one, you transfer that desire to get one into getting ANOTHER one! I speak from experience!
~ That seems to be the trend ~
Sounds like a good night!
Wasn't able to get measurements on all of them. I used some shade cloth in a corner to create a hide. They love it. So I couldn't get to two of them. But they're all around the same size. About 20". Still haven't broken out the scale for the weights.
The two chunk butt sandwiches that didn't want to come out.

So beautiful!
I hate it when they bend their legs like that, spud does it sometimes and it looks like his leg is broken.
It scares me!
Ha yeah. They definitely contort in some scary ways.
Chunkie monkeys.
Wow, exciting. They look pretty darn good. Do you have any idea on what sex they are looking? I know, I know, 
it will take a few more years for positive idea, but just wondering if any of them look different from the other

Based of Characteristic and beahviorisms of the 4 blossom seems female, tulip seems female. George and Houdini are showing male. Houdini has started ramming and showin very dominant traits. So right now I'm going with 2.2 which I hope I'm right. Because blossom and tulip are the super smooth ones. Which needs to be smooth in the future for breeding purposes.Wow, exciting.

Wow what awesome torts or should I say chunky monkeys [emoji2] [emoji14]
Nice, 2.2 would be great!
