So we got my Russian a few days after christmas last year. He was about 4 inches then...
I just measured him and he's only 5 inches now.

Is that a healthy growth rate? or do you think I'm missing something in his diet? I know I need to get a UV bulb, I just haven't had the time to go shopping for it yet.

The *pet store* never told me how old he was.. they actually thought he was a she... But I think he's somewhere around 3 or 4 years.

So in 9 months, he has increased his length by 25%. Sounds really good to me. If he is a male, he may not get a whole lot bigger.

Alright :) Thanks. I was just really worried that he should be growing more. My last Tort was kinda trusted on me when my brother's friend couldn't take care of him anymore, but he was full grown by then... and I was like 10... so I don't really remember exactly how big he was.
