he is about 7-7.5" right about now, still plenty of growing to do :) I got him from a guy in Massachusetts, about a 1.5hr drive to meet him in Salem NH. It was well worth it :)

yeah, I wouldn't cross it with a trimac. Although those were the first FH's they looked a lot like a plain trimac. If was to get a FH I would get a blue dragon. For now I'm going to stick with my midas :)

Funny you said that Mark. I looked through a massive book of them yesterday at a LFS and the blue dragon and a red pearl dragon were the only two that I said I would get. They are extremely cool looking.

I like them as well, but I would actually go against the grain with FH's and look for one with a small hump. I can't stand the HUGE hump that some of them get, but their colors are amazing:)

i dont really like the giant humps either. but that is one of the things they breed them for so they can have a huge hump. And my favorite is definetly blue dragon.
