Ok, I got a baby leo a little under 2 months ago and I was pretty sure it was only 1 mo or less b/c it was very tiny. Now it's about 5 1/2 inches long and I don't have a scale so I'm not sure of the weight. I was just wondering if 5 1/2 inches is about right for a 3 mo old? And something else...it shed about a week and a half ago and then again today. It's normally been about 2 1/2 weeks between sheds..just wondering if that's weird or not. Thanks in advance for any posts!

my first leo grew fast like yours,my second one is slower growing.Leos will shed at different rates,it all depends on how fast they grow,I've had mine shed once a week for awhile then slow down to every 3-4 weeks.Sounds like you are doing well with your guy,keeping him well fed and healthy.
