Hatchling growth rates......?

phiber_optikx Sep 25, 2007 12:47 AM

Is it just me or does it seem that hatchlings have a significant growth spurt after their first few (3 or so) meals and then level off a bit.....? I had some that were only about 6" long at hatching and a few that were around 8-9. It seems that after about a month they are now all about the same size and their growth rates have considerably slowed. Just me or have others noticed?
