Uros grow very slowly... taking 2-3 years to become mature from hatchlings. When we got our Gizmo, who is a yellow-phase WC Saharan male, he was a bit thin, but not too bad, because the pet store we got him from actually took pretty good care of him. We've had him for over a year now, and he's at a really nice weight. He's probably added 40 grams or so since being with us. I've seen fatter U. geyri, but for Gizmo I think he's stabilized at his good weight. So... it took about 8 months for us to get him to what we thought was a healthy weight since buying him. Hope that makes sense, I haven't had my caffeine yet this morning LOL!
