Hi there, I am a newbie at this. I bought 2 baby Sulcata almost 2 months ago, my sister also purchased 2 from the same person. I have read up and taking very good care of them (my aunt has been raising/rescuing them for years). I was over at my sisters house and took a look at her Babies and they are not growing at all it seems like!! So now im questioning if mine are growing too fast and if im feeding them too much? The two pictures are the different ones that are the same age.

They all grow at different rates depending on many factors, hydration being a big one.

If your babies are well hydrated, eating the right foods and housed properly, then don't worry about the growth rate. They are supposed to grow fast when conditions are right.

What method are you using to raise yours, and where did your sister get her advice? Most people raise them far too dry and many people don't keep them warm enough, especially at night.

Here is all the sulcata info:
