i have 2 almost 2 times that size how old is yours it looks like it still has some more growing but i could be wrong ...good herping

She's around 11 months give or take... She does have some growing left to do but I don't think she's going to get to the upper limits of their size. I know someone who has a female thats 2.5 ft and full grown... Over 2 years old.

Nice looking lizard don't reckon he's adult sized yet, i've got 4 plus other species ,your friends sounds about right for it's age but will probably gain another 6 to 8 inches as they tend to average out at 3' or just over also on the photo your lizard looks as though it is slightly overweight (might be the photo can't really tell)i only mention it as i got a rescue one once that was obese and it is a pain in the a**e trying to get the weight off it can also have a detrimental effect on there health and half there lifespan. I found the best thing to make them exercise in there enclosure is to feed locusts dipped in supplement so they have to chase it around, also regular baths and at least 20 mins out of the enclosure a day for exercise this also aids taming as well.

She is slightly overweight but I've decreased her feeding reigment lately... Right now, I can't let her out of her enclosure. We don't have our own apartment yet and there's kids where we're staying so I can't have any animal out that could potentially harm the kids. That should be remedied soon but until then things are difficult. However, she isn't THAT overweight. Its the way the pics were having to be taken to a degree. I've seen much heavier ones from owners on this forum in the past.
