Advice on growth rates of G. sucata...(Am I doing okay?)

Posted by Ryan P on May 26, 2002 at 12:14:31:

Just a quick question. My sulcata is a summer baby, 2001. An early july hatch I think. When I purchased him/her in August, 2001 she measured in at 2 3/8 of an inch (carapace length, end to end on a straight line.) Aesop is now 3 3/4 of an inch. Is that too fast? He seems to grow in bursts. His shell is not smooth, but I wouldn't say there is any drastic pyramiding. His temps are good, gets outside plenty, UVa bulb and UVb tube when he is inside (weather dependent,) eats Turtle Cafe mix and greens, with the occasional fruit and veggie. Isn't a big fan of cactus yet. Won't touch cuttle bone, but loves to eat dirt(?!) Did I say quick question? Anyways, any critiques or comments? A little progress report and review for myself.

Thanks,
Ryan
