I've noticed that my captive breed, antless diet horned lizards are experiencing an odd growth rate phenomenon, which I refer to as the Darwin effect. About 1/3 (33%) of my off spring (from 2 DHL clutches and 1 Regal clutch) never really grow. I'm wondering if those of you raising CB hatchlings on ant diets are experiencing the same phenomenon. Checkout my photo. Those are siblings that are just about 1 year old. They eat at the same rate, are cared for in the exact same way. One large female, one large male and one small female. Any comments?
