Does anyone have info--charts, graphs, tables--of their retics growth rates? I'm keeping loose tabs on the growth of my 2 non dwarf retics just to see and it's amazing how different the growth rate is with them. I weigh them usually the first monday or tuesday of the month. But I did forget a time or two.

My male yellowhead (CB Bob Clark) is about 11 months old, 7' long ( /-), 11 or 12 months old and last month weighed in at 2.4 kilos. I got him last December as a neonate, he was a month and a half old.

My female albino (CB Retic Ranch) Is 7 months old (born this March). after an initial glitch with feeding, she's taken off. She is approx. 6', and 2.3 kilos. So she's nearly as large despite being 4 months younger and having had a feeding issue right after I got her.

I do not measure my dwarf religiously because I bought him as a subadult, so am not tracking growth, but he's about 1000-1300 grams depending on if he ate or pooped

Is that sort of growth difference typical in genders, or is it just a normal individual variance? I'm curious how to stacks up to other's experiences, particularly people with more experience than I.
