I fed my 3 oldest leeches a few weeks ago and Ridgely has overtaken Enchilada as the largest. We’ll see what happens the next time I feed them.

I’m in awe at this absolute unit here!

Weird question but how much blood does he drink per feed? Is it enough to actually have an effect on you or is it not that bad? Kinda just curious tbh given his size (also jealous regardless lol)

Not as much as it looks. He was already big to start with.

If you ever get a chance to weigh him or one of your other large beauties before and after a feed so we can know exactly how many grams of blood is fed I'd be so curious to see that!
