:Have a pair from march. They were 10",12" then. now one is 18" the other is almost 21". Growth seems fast, fed daily on pinks and cricketts and feeding small f/t mice now. There fecals were clean from day one, no parasites. Have you checked that?

How fast do peathroat monitors typically grow under ideal conditions. I am not a newbie to monitors, just to peachthroats. By ideal conditions I mean 120 degree basking with a gradiant down to 70 degrees. Feed daily with either dusted crickets, mealworms or pinkies. I purchased it as a baby and seemes to have a much slower growth rate than other monitors I have owned. Is this because of their relatively small adult size? All signs point to healthy, so I'm 99% sure nothing is wrong. Just wondering other peoples experience.
