She is 2 years? Pyramiding does not look bad, but she is small. Are you keeping her warm and humid per the care guides? They all grow at their own rates, so it is not necessarily a bad thing.

Yes she is outside here but I also have a table set up inside with her heat and uv. Perhaps she is just taking her time growing. Here is another picture 20190622_094206.jpeg

Wow - she does look tiny for a 2 y/o. Mine turns 2 next month and is already about 6 lbs. She's very cute though!

Remember that grass and grasses should be available 24/7 so he can graze the whole day and on top of that give him something extra every day like mazuri, opuntia cactus, mulberry leaves, hibiscus leaves, hibiscus flowers, rose leaves, salad (no iceberg lettuce)

I have fresh grass available in my enclosure 24/7 and I'm changing it daily.

Then I supplement every day with something special like written above

Also make sure ur night temperatures dont drop below 80

My experience was that I kept my little guy at night too cold and didn't had food available 24/7

After changing both I'm experiencing insane growth [emoji16]
