Hi. I have a supposed female red ackie and she is 5 months old and only 7.5cm svl. She eats 3-4 medium crickets every day. she won't eat meats very often and I'm worried about her growth. Basking spot is about 60c. I recently changed her substrate over from sand to a sand/soil mix so she has been buried most of the day if not all day for 4 days maybe and only eaten 4 crickets in that time that I now of, due to free crickets in the enclosure. I also have a one year old male yellow and his length is around 17cm svl and kept on sand/soil mix and his basking spot ranges from 65-45c. He eats loads of crickets and chicken heart but doesn't seem to grow a whole lot. Need advice whether any of this is normal and if/what i should do about. Thanks
