Anyone know proper weights?

dragonmlv Jan 28, 2004 08:45 PM

Hello everyone,
I was reading through the posts the other day, and noticed one about a uro's weight, which made me wonder about mine. I have 3 uros, 2 malis and 1 hardwicki. The youngest mali, a female captive bred at deerfern, is about a year old, and is almost 7" and weighs in at 68g. My male mali is almost 2 years old, and is about 8.5" and weighs in at 88g. The female hardwicki is full grown I believe ( at a little over 9" ), and weighs 106g. Are these proper weights? I have had the two females for 3-4 months, and the male for a year and a half. All three live together, without fighting, and almost every day I get to see each of them eat from the same bowl with no problems. They even leave some food in the bottom. The latest picture I have scanned is from Novemeber, and is of the 2 malis. Does anyone know if they look too thin? If they are, how can I fix it? Thanks everyone
