I have a juvenile CDT and a hatchling eastern box.
I have been weighing them for the last 3-4 months and was wondering if anyone knows what is a normal amount of weight for them to put on a month?

Both of those species are pretty slow-growing. And there really isn't a chart or norm to go by.

It's so different. Had two baby boxies of the same age. At age 3 one was 3.5 inches and the other 6 inches.

Growth rates vary wildly, and for a wide variety of reasons. Just look for steady growth each month, except during hibernation of course.
