Wondering about one of my females...

"Shorty", as I named her when I got her, is remaining really short... I mean, the little girl is pushing 60 grams now, and doesn't seem to have grown in legnth at all since I got her a few months ago. She's a weird one... gained about 15-20 grams and hasn't grown in legnth at all... Also, she's been sharing a cage with my male for 2-3 weeks, and eating like a pig, active and all, but won't breed. Gah, hope she at least gets a growth spurt.

How long is she? 60 grams isnt that small, but then again it could be in width. Some leos just stay small for whatever reason, I've heard of people whos leos never got any bigger than 6 or 7 inches, but were completely healthy and good eaters. Does she seem healthy? Good eater? I wouldnt worry at all if she has a clean bill of health and is eating good. Later
