Here is a comparision of a few Golden/Antakian cross (all from the same parents, just different clutches). The little one just hatched a few days ago, the one next to it is 4 months old.

Holy Toledo, Batman! Could that be the incredible hulk you're raising there?

That's normal growth at my house. My Ibera grow bigger/faster than that, but they start a little bigger also.

Yeah, it is hard to get people to realize how big they are gonna need to make thier enclosure when they are looking at a new hatchling the size of a quarter. :)

LITERALLY the size of a quarter :) I have pics of mine with a quarter, mind blowing how tiny she was.

It is even worse with Sulcata babies though - from yitty-bitty baby to 150lb monster? Some people just can't wrap their heads around it.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

FYI, there are 2 clutch mates of the older one (with very different colors) in the for sale section. :)
