Has anyone raised marginateds since hatchling size? My two seem to be growing super fast. Compared to my baby greeks. They were all born late 07 and the Marginateds are getting huge, quick.
Is this to be expected?

I have 5 6year old marginatas that I have raised from hatchlings, & 5 or so Russians the same age. They live outdoors & hibernate. Eat all natural foods that I grow.
The marginatas are twice the size of the russians. My largest russian the same age is about 5" while the largest marginata is about 9".
There is no pyramiding on any of them, all smooth shelled.

Those pics are a couple of months old, I'll try to get some new ones up ASAP.
I've read tons of stuff about marginateds, but I'm glad to hear from people with hands on expierence with these little guys. Not too many people have them.
THANKS EVERYONE!
