Hahaha.
He's / she's growing about 100 grams / month. This is with a good variety of food & plenty of water available. The growth seems steady , smooth , and Cupcake is strong.
He will be 1 yo in January.
My first Aldabra , so I don't know if this is normal , but suspect he's about average. Might slow in our cooler months here Jan-March , we'll see.
I have a 2 yo sulcata that I rescued that is growing even faster , but he was stunted ( too small) for his age and is now catching up. My they grow fast !
The next few years my set up will suffice. But after that more building and room will be in order. Mr Chunky Thighs will need much more space to roam and a real shed.
