This will be Darwin's last growth chart because he has out grown all my paper. He is now 9 1/4'' long and 6 1/2'' wide and weighs 1920 grams.

That's awesome! I have been doing monthly weighings/measurements on my little guy (4 months old now) and this Friday he will start going to visit a first grade class who will be tracing him monthly to track his growth! Very cool to see it done! :)

I think you should get some poster board (or other larger paper) and keep going! That's too cool not to! ;)

That's cool but mind you the larger it gets the more it want's NOTHING to do with it. Mine fights me now and he is strong and if I do manage to hold him down long enough, he will do his business all over the paper just to make me mad. Bwahahaha!

Great idea! Try having someone feeding him while he sits there. Our Sulcata's have their own facebook so we track size and weight while friends can watch.

That's a great idea, I should make a Facebook page for Darwin! Why didn't I think of that? lol

You could try painting a grid on your driveway or other surface and then just photograph him as he walks across the grid.
