[mike taylor]

Thats a big dude!

 

[naturalman91]

is there a major growth in the first week or is that the size the pretty much come out of the egg at?

 

[N2TORTS]

Maybe a tad smaller...as they start to "flatten out" a bit after being curled up in the egg, look bigger. Also nothing is concrete...there are many variables between Mothers, Species and natural development within the egg.
There are always "runts" and "superstars" within different clutches.
