Depending on which species you obtain, sizes can range from 2" through 7" in length. [span class="edited"][Edited by Cup_of_Lifenoodles 2004-09-10 09:19][/span]

As stated above, the breeding length really does vary by species. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
