What a pretty turtleDoes anyone know how quickly diamondback terrapins grow? I got this little baby at a reptile show on November 9th and he weighed 11 grams. Today she is 15 grams.... is that slow growth? She eats like a pig and is active and friendly but i would have thought she would have gained more by now? View attachment 107647
Thank you! Her personality is so cool. I take her out to feed her every day in a freshwater bath and tap the side of the tank and now she comes swimming out into my hand to be picked up and moved to her feeding container. It's the cutest thing ever.What a pretty turtle
Dont worry about growth rates and comparing. Every terrapin is different with its growth. Yours is growing and looks fine. So your good. These 3 terrapins are the exact same age.View attachment 107798
