Weight???

coastalherper Jan 19, 2006 02:48 PM

Hi,
I have 2 baby crested sthat are about 3 months old. Yet they only weigh 2 grams, that was their birth weight! Should they have grown more by now? Is something wrong?
Thank You

well, the tail of the one in the photo either needs more calcium, or needs better hydration.
as far as growing, it depends on feeding, temp, humidity, stress...
most of my 3 month old hatcling are about 5 grams, and i consider that small because i only feed them CGD and keep them at like 65-70 degrees right now.
