Maximum s-v length is 70 - 80 mm & original tails are about 35% of s-v length.
That makes the total max. length about 94.5 - 108 mm, according to Gerry Swan & Steve Wilson.
Let's say roughly 10 cm.

In NSW, according to the 2005 Returns, there are 33 licenced keepers.

102 specimens were brought forward,
14 " " acquired,
32 " " disposed of,
84 " " held.
None were bred!

It seems to me that 18 were exported interstate.

It also seems that keepers are having trouble breeding them :

Good luck buying some as I've never seen them advertised, though I rarely check the classifieds anymore.
