Mike I have a Nisai Showa coming in this week from Marudo that is pushing 20" . So I would guess she will be close to that 55cm your talking about by late spring . She was selected because of her possible future (body , skin , etc.) , time will tell . She will be placed in a different system and not over fed , well maybe a little .

A friend highly recommended her by phone while on his visit to Japan last Oct. .

Don , I saw what you were saying . My question was for one winter season of extra growth , not keeping a level temp. 24/365 .

thank's

Troy: You've got to post a photo when you can. Marudo Showa seem to always have a lot of eye appeal.
