Ok, I was just curious. I have been noticing that many claim that causing a reptile to grow faster than it normal growth rate can actually negatively effect their health. As it is stated on croc farms and whatnot, the breeders use "growth enforcement techniques" to get the animals to get larger sizes at a faster pace for faster harvesting, but this should not be taken upon by the herpetoculturist. So are you saying that this is actually false? I just don't want to turbo boost growth in them, and cause it to hurt them in the long-run.
So pretty much, it hurts them more to slow their growth rate, but is ok to boost it without any long-term negative effects?
Thank you for your help
Chris
