I was late with the holidays on weighing and measuring the girls, finally getting around to it this morning before I gave them each their breakfast!
I measure every month on their hatch date. Anouk's is on the 24th, and Novalee's is on the 25th (just an fyi they are almost exactly ten months apart in age)
Novalee, in a month and ten days grew a QUARTER of an INCH! And gained 19 grams! She went from 2 10/16" to 3 1/16" inches! I thought she looked "bigger" since she's so tiny anyways! She was 5 months old on the 25th.
And after looking back carefully at my records, she has grown an entire INCH since I've had her! Good lawd. Man, she was teeny. She was only a pinch over 2" SCL (and only 29g) when I got her at 1 month and 6 days old way back on August 30th!
Anouk on the other hand, finally crested 4 inches, coming in at 4 1/16" and a whopping 233 grams! It was a 37g gain! Her growth is finally slowing since she's over a year now. She was 15 months on the 25th of Dec.
I'm doing some cage cleaning on my day off (since I'm on break from school, I bumped my hours up at work and am at full time), so I will post photos later!
Novalee is still smooth as can be, which I am so proud of. Over an inch of smooth, new shell growth! WHOOOOO.
I just had to share.
