GODZILLA is 5 or 6 years old, STL 50", SVL 16", I bought him in Indonesia, 3 years ago.When I bought him he was already an adult.But he is still growing.He grew 6" since he arrived home.

THORN is 2 years, STL 36"( he lost part of his tail), SVL 12.4".I bought him also in Indonesia.

SHENA is a female, 2 years old also.She is STL 36.8", SVL 10".I bought her in Indonesia also.

REX is 17 months STL 46,8, SVL 14". He already is much bigger than Shena and Thorn.I think he will be bigger than Godzilla also.I bought him in Malaysia.

As you can see all of them are from the same region, southeast Asia.

In my opinion what makes the difference is the fact that Shena and Thorn were raised indoors during their first year of life. Jakarta is still more hot than Kuala Lumpur , very noisy and very polluted.The igs couldnt tolerate to be outdoors!

REX is raised outdoors, 12 hours of direct sunlight everyday. That's why, I think, he is becoming so big and..so dark!

Last week I bought a baby female, KENYA.I ll raise her outdoors also.But I am waiting a little bit. I think 95F everyday, 12 hours a day, is too much for her.She is less than 16" STL!!
Let's see if she will be bigger than Shena.
