stop growing?

ch23119 Jan 08, 2004 09:48 PM

I got a baby sandfire bd last may. He QUICKLY jumped to about 16 inches in late july/august. Since then he has not grown at all. He has gone through and finished brumation almost completely and has filled out more with body weight. I was wondering, do you think he has stopped growing or will he hit another spurt?

Could be done growing... avg. size is probably around 17". I had a male Orange/German that reached 19" and was full grown when he was only 3.5 months old.

He's a german/orange cross that ate about 40-50 crickets per day--he had a huge appetite!
