In Reply to: TRUE adult Taeniura length possibilities posted by colubridman on October 03, 2002 at 19:01:13:
: I know this picture is a repeat but it fits the subject.
: I would like to know what lengths some of the taeniura species are really capable of reaching in captivity. I have heard many guesses but not paticular accurate measuring attempts.
: Anyone willing to try to measure one of your biggest adults as accuratly as possible and post your results I would appreciate it.
: After trying a couple of ways I found that letting them stretch out along a wall in a hallway with their head right at a door and trying to mark where their tail ends is a fairly accurate way.
: I measured the blue in the picture at 8 ft. 5 in. minumum. It is hard realize due to their thin build just how long they are until you get them stretched out on the floor. Yes he got fed more than he needed. He is only 3 years and 1 month old so I know some of you with old blues, friesei,yunnanensis or ridleyi must have some true monsters.
: Come on guys and gals. Give it a try. I wonder if some cant reach well over 9 ft. in captivity.
: Thanks and I hope to see some results. Randy Whittington
