    Jip, that's about right. This is for 3.5cm in general, the bigger they get the more expensive they get. Getting a mature female is almost unheard of... nobody will sell their "cash cows". Best to get them at 3.5cm of 8 to 10 if you have the money, better chance of getting a female within this number group.
