Hatchling weight
Hi everyone,
My TH Herc hatchling is 85 days old today, she is 35mm scl and wghs 12gr. When hatched she was 32mm scl and 8gr. Should she be bigger by now? She eats every day, has calcium on her food most days and every other day nekton sprinkled over her food. She is bathed every day and is very active. Her table has a t5 Canopy light and arcadia d3 spot, temp under spot is 35c and every where else 20c-26c. She looks to be healthy, but small! Or is the right growth rate for TH herc? Thanks Andy |

They grow at different speeds just like we do. I have year old iberas that weigh just a little more, where as their clutch mates are far bigger. But they all act normally for tortoises, so I dont worry:0)
