Hello everyone,
I bought a young Gouldii at the VHS expo this year (very early March). It was small but very pretty. Also very bendy, it turned out. Pumped it full of calcium and food, expecting it to shoot up like a weed. It hasn't.
Taken today:
As you can see, still rather diminutive. I'm a bit puzzled as it has a good appetite, temps are good (basking 45-50 deg) and for all intents and purposes, acts like a normal young monitor.
For comparison, taken in March:
Seems not to have grown much, and I can't figure out why. Any ideas from those in the know?
