Leppy and friends...

[SoCal]

Figured I would start a thread to follow Leppy as he/she grows.. I was told he hatched on 2/10, but now I am thinking he may be younger..
May 7

May 8 43 grams

May 14 50 grams

May 22 60 grams

Is this an egg tooth? That's what made me think he was a little younger than 3 months

They normally lose a egg tooth with in a few weeks looks like a little is left but they all grow at different rates

I have two that were born in November. And December of 2015 and my weights are very close to yours. They both lost about ten grams last month but have picked it back up again. Thank god. I was nervous. So now back to 65 and 75 grams. I weigh weekly and have a chart. It's crazy to look back and see how much they've grown. I love my babies and want them to stay small forever lol.

Have you read thru the leopard care sheets? Your first one has a lot of pyramiding for so young. They should have temps no lower then 80 and that's with a humidity of 80% to grow smooth. Get it changed and you can get the growth to start smoothing out and your new ones to hopefully not pyramid at all. Check out the threads below in my post. The ones for sulcatas applies to your leopards also.

Thanks Wellington.. I have read the care sheets.. The bigger one, Leppy, had some pyramiding when I got him, appeared to be started dry and I am trying to smooth it out.. They just got a new home, one of the lifetime planters with the greenhouse top and the humidity is staying in the 70s.. I had an open top table at first, haven't even had him a month yet, and figured out I couldn't keep the humidity up.. They get daily soaks and I have a humidifier coming to get the humidity even higher..

Leppy has grown over 1/2 inch and went from 43 grams to 74 grams in 3 1/2 weeks

Pumba 55 grams:


Shellie 53 grams:


Notice his dark speckled skin, the other two are much lighter
Leppy 111 grams:

Leppy is so pretty. I'll be watching this thread to see how he colors as he grows.
