Thanks for the information. I read the section from Uronature concerning soil humidity and you are definately right. Even at 60cm, it is very dry. I don't know if that was a misprint or not, but 60cm is almost 2 feet down! They continue to take measurements down to 4 feet with very very low moisture content. It would be impossible for me to duplicate this with 1 inch substrate. My little guy weighs in at 45g and he is around 16 months old. According to Uronature, he is a little heavier than their study in the wild. I did not expect a young reptile to show no signs of growth for a 3 month period....maybe it is normal.
