I really want mine to grow at a normal rate. But I don’t have an outdoor enclosure or a big indoor enclosure. It’s actually very small. I’m trying to get something bigger but I have limited space. Will he continue to grow even though his enclosure is small?
You won't need a outdoor enclosure until he is about 2yrs old and 10" long. Any outside time he gets now needs to be supervised. Critters, crows and hawks might get him. Dont even turn your back for a few minutes. They are hard to find the when they are small.
I don't know what size enclosure you have. You can buy the largest plastic tote at home depot if that is bigger than what you have. Search closed enclosures here and get some ideas. I will be offline until fri. So won't be able to reply.
Good luck Ray

This time last year, Toretto was 2years and 4 months old and he didn’t even weigh 5lbs... now he’s 20...
He moved “out” at 3... I bet these guys only get to live inside for 2.... [emoji848]

I worked with a wild guy years ago that was from Texas. Usually took folks about 60 seconds to figure out where he was from- 15 seconds if he had regular clothes on!

You mean if he was naked (without regular clothes) you could see his "Texas" tattoo plastered across his butt????

Y'all are out of control! At work we wear what I refer to as adult Garanimals so regular clothes are jeans and shirts. For him it was always jeans, if he could have had a pair to workout in then he would have!
