This demonstrates that there are many other factors besides food intake that effect growth. Temperature and hydration are among them. Then if you have the guy outside you really don't know how much he is taking in.
To answer your question, yes this is 'normal'

: My sulcata is about 10 or 11 inches or so... I noticed that his last growth ring looked 2 or 3 times wider than his others. All the previous ones are about the same size except for this one. There's been no change in his diet... Is this normal?
