Is 25 lbs stunted?

[Junebugthetort]

My sulcata is 6 years old and he only weights a little over 25 lbs as of a month ago. Is that too small for a male sulcata that is six? I always see other sulcatas his age and they’re much larger in size. Ever since I have had my sulcata, he always barely grazed on grass and I think that has always been the issue for his small size. He grazes now but still don’t feel like it is enough. Thanks.

He looks Healthy, I don’t think there’s much to worry about.

Some grow faster than that and some grow slower than that. I would not call that stunted. I've seen 3 inch six year olds. THAT I would call stunted.

I tell people to focus on health rather than growth rate. Good temps, good hydration, and good food are all more important than growth rate.
