Habitat - Indoor :: eggs and size for a 3 year old RES

[babybearjustin]

i have had my res for 3 years now bought at the beach in georgia it was a small little thing i just measured "simon" today turn out i think simon is acutally simone lol.. her SCL length is 4" she has been moving the rocks around alot lately but ready they don't reach secually maturity till 5" is that correct? i'm worried she might need to lay eggs the way she is moving around. Also is 4" in length about right for a what i'm thinking is a female RES her nails are really small is what i am thinking i couldn't get a good look at her tail. THOUGHTS?

Most female RES are a bit larger than 4" at 3 years or so. If the nails are short, I would lean towards Simon being a her... do you have any pictures that can help with an ID?
