Hello all!
I have a BIG girl on my hands!
She is not quite 2 years old
Hatch date is approximately April 3 2021
She weighs nearly 2 lbs (907 grams)
And is about 6 inches in length.
She is eating great and is very active and healthy! Wondering if I’m doing everything correctly? Growth lines and smooth carapace 🤩

Thought I would also take some time to mention her housing set up.

She has a encloure that is 10ft in perimeter for the winter time (I will be upgrading soon with her rapid growth) it has a mixture of repti bark, eco earth and spagnum moss for her substrate. She has a terracotta water dish, basking light and a CHE which keep the ambient temps at around 85° F as well as a food slate. She has lots of plants inside her enclosure as well as interesting things to climb on. I keep her humidity around 80-90% Tulip eats a mixture of broad leaf greens like mustard, romaine, turnip, green and red leaf and collard, as well as as various veggies and lots of fruit (papaya, mango, pineapple, apple, banana, berries and melon) she also gets either eggs, mushroom, boiled chicken, tuna or dry cat food for her protein once a week along with her calcium and D3 along with flowers like hibiscus and dandelion. She gets soaked either daily or every other day and is growing like a weed! Eats a ton and poops a ton 😂

She also has a 12 ft enclosure outside for nice Texas summer days and I will be planting lots of live plants this spring.

Thought. Might say that lol
Anyone who does?
We've had lots of people who know the species well over the years, but they seem to come and go. ZEROPILOT is one of the ones with first hand knowledge and experience that has stuck around and posts a lot. There are others too that I've learned from, but I can't remember user names off hand.

I've kept a few of them over the years, but they don't do well in my climate, so I don't keep them any more. I understand the basic husbandry for the species, but I am no expert on them, and I certainly don't know all the different varieties.

Wow this is huge! Mine since april 2021 too and she is near 400g. I try to get her a constant grow but not too much. Maybe this is not enough?
