Everyone wanted to know what i was keeping it in and what lighting I had and what I was feeding it.

Well I keep it in a 10 gallon aquarium in the back of my closet.. occasionally I feed it some potato peels and stuff like that!

And now that you think that I am abusing my lizard you can smile I was joking! he he.. I had been letting her run wild in my house for about a year or so.. she seemed to love it. But when she became gravid I put her back into my closet.. I have a spare 6' wide and deep closet and 9 feet tall! I have three spot lights in there for basking.. over all temp is about 90 and the hot spots are about 110.. I have 2 6 foot uv lamps above as well that she can easily get within a foot of while she is basking.. She has never been tough to feed and will eat as much of anything that I will give to her. I feed mainly big leafy greens and carrot tops and squash and zuchini and any fruit I buy for myself melons peaches strawberries grapes cherries she gets her fill of!... I also let her stay out side in the mornings on a harness so she can get some natural sunlight this really truely brings out the neon ornages and geens in her pattern... and sometimes I leave her out all day on weekends she gets a little wild when i do this but she calms right down after about 10 minutes indoors!

And still my question was why isnt she getting any bigger she is probably 3 1/2-4 feet long and about as wide as an adult mans wrist.. and no I hadnt checked for parasites in years I had her dewormed and havent had her in contact with anything that could re-introduce them to her!

ANY ADVICE AS TO HOW I CAN GET HER LARGER WOULD BE GREAT!
