so we can better understand you and help you out. Second, check out a caresheet or 2. Proexotics has a pretty good one. Make sure your cage is set up, you have proper temperatures and are offering the correct food. If the setup is correct and he's still not growing, then he may have some problems that a vet needs to attend to.

Sry about the space thing. I just realized that happend when i read it. Some one spilled some thing on the keyboard i guess and now you realy hafta push down to get it to work. Anyways his temps are pretty good. Basking spot is 130, His regular cage temp is in the 90's, and the cool side is 80 - 85. I usualy feed him a mouse everyday and some times 2.
