Weight Gain Rate for Hatchling

[MotherOfPearl]

Hi all~

Pearl (my 10-month old Eastern Hermann's baby) has gained 47.73 grams over the last 4 months. That's about 11.9 grams per month.
Is this too much? And if so, what do I do?
She's very beautiful, no pyramiding, playful, alert, and active. She doesn't act sick or anything.

Thanks!

Don't worry about it. Some grow faster than others. As long as she looks like she's supposed to and isn't getting fat, its all good.

If the diet, exercise, hydration, temps, UV and calcium supplementation are all good, I would not worry about the growth rate.

If you are feeding nothing but grocery store foods, in a small tank, with incorrect temps, no soaks, no UV, no calcium, then you might have an issue, but fast growth isn't it.
