wow, I had no idea a b smithi could grow so fast! I got a smithi in order to have a small T for a long long time. I guess she'll be big pretty quick then. I was hoping she'd be small for more than a year. This is a great thread and thx for all the info and for posting this!
Thats not your typical growth rate with less frequent feeding at room temperature.
+1 To make them grow rapidly, there is a process you would have to go through. Its typically called power feeding (I call it endless buffet:p) and temps have to reflect the increase feedings. These are cold blooded creatures so increasing temps also increases body metabolism. But with these increases, care, IMO, also increases. The Molt log I posted for my specimen was specific to that specimen with the methods I was using. So as AgentD006las has stated its not a typical growth rate for most.
