Since the birth of my baby emeralds approx. 3 1/2 months age they just don't seem to grow very fast. Is this normal?

They get a diet of crickets dusted with rep-cal and reptivite. Just recently I have started giving them very small wax worms.

They seem to eat everything I out in there and I'll try to feed them twice a day.

Any thoughts on thus would be helpful

Thanks

Emeralds although they are really fat, much more so than wc's ya see in stores, they do seem to grow a bit slower than some lizards I have had.

As long as yours are eating well, and growing, thats all I would worry about.

Its not a huge lizard even as an adult , so I would imagine they take "atleast" a year before they reach the size of parents.

Mine were born just before yours, Oct, 30th, 2004 and I have mostley males, I notice also some are larger than others, very noticably too.

But my largeset males are about the size of my pinky finger snout to vent. But very wide through the tummy !

Heres a pic of one begining to color up , green hues. Some are faster to color also. I have a couple very green, with the blue underneath already.

This guy is big but slower to color. Guess they are all different just like our human kids,
