I have him for about 6 months already. I'm not sure what is his age when he arrived.
Here I'll post a picture of him when he first arrive and him now!
I was wondering if his growth is usual or he is growing a tad bit slow.
His substrate are a mixture of soil, sand, and coco coir about 2" high (misting often to + humidity) ps. i don't have exact humidity level
His diets are 1. Mazuri (most of the time) 2. water spinace 3. Lettuce 4. Cactus 5. Hibiscus flower/leaf (most greens are just what i have on hand)
Now its rainy season in Thailand so he is kept indoor 100% of times with UVA/B bulb
He is soaked every 2-3 days

His measurements on January 23, 2022 are 2.6" on his bellyside

His measurements today (July 23, 2022 are 3.39" on his bellyside and 4.6" on the carapace (curve head to tail) and weight 206g

Please leave any recommendations or comments for me to improve his life!
I'm planning to plant grass for him in the enclosure. He love to nibble any plant I have planted so far! only the stem is left.

When you change is substrate don't use sand, it can cause impaction. The coir and orchard bark is best. The dirt is fine as long as it's from your ground not bought.
Stop the spinach very small amounts not often is fine but not a daily thing.
Read the caresheet in the African section.
