AVERAGE SIZE: Adults can range from 12 to 24 inches in length.
MAX SIZE: Exceptionally large individuals may reach OVER 24 INCHES.
WEIGHT: On average, they weigh between 300 to 600 grams (0.6 - 1.3 lbs).
NOTABLE FEATURE: When threatened, they can puff up their throat, display a "beard" and open their mouth to appear larger and more intimidating to predators.
