wow...
i have about 8 of these, got them at around 0.5'' last Oct. and most of them are only around 2'' now, with a couple maybe 2.5''...
It may be growing so fast since it's a male ?
Plus I feed every three days, and keep " my lab " at 80F.
She hasn't been out since the molt. So I have not had a chance to get a measurement.
