You may be right Nino. At least about the care/diet. When I first got this subadult male close to 2 years ago he was considerably smaller in size/length and not as bulky. He also had a hard time with shedding and was extremely flighty (scared). His jowls were not as full as they have become while in my care. He has not doubled his size in this time but close to it. I still believe he is a young adult of not over 5 years at this time.
I feed all the gallotia my turkey salad mix on a daily basis. It includes ground turkey, boiled egg, tofu, yel squash, greens and veggies, flowers and a sprinkle of calcium/vit mixed in daily. I top it with some of their favorite fruit like strawberry or banana slices. Maybe once or twice a week I offer some ground chicken dog food. As an added treat they get a few superworms or crickets maybe once a week. They expecially get some exercise while chasing down the faster crickets.
