Wow. That's amazing how dark Cleo is compared to Jango and 'Bee.
I don't let Jango on my shoulders anymore unless I'm wearing something pretty thick. He hasn't grown much in length lately, only about 1 1/2" in 2 weeks and it all seems to be SVL (he's about 31" now), but he's gotten thicker across his shoulders and hips. He's getting heavy enough that his nails are starting to do some damage.

man jango is beautiful i cant wait to see how they look in year. im still trying to figure out this spur thing but im starting to think nero might be a girl but ill wait til he is about 6 mo. b4 i start saying she
Aye. All of the info I've found seems to point to 6 months. I'm going to hold off calling Jango a she until then also. Either way, he or she should grow up to be a pretty impressive Gu. I'm going to try and get a weight on him soon, he seems to be putting on muscle mass instead of length lately.
He doesn't even eat that much, and he's afraid of superworms still!!! What state are you in? I'm in WI, and I have the same issue. Cleo doesn't eat as much as I would LIKE her too. But I think, no matter what I'm doing with my lights, she can feel the changes in barometric pressure, and is acting accordingly. My torts can tell if its a rainy day or not, without ever being outside.
I think the climate is part of the issue. I have just accepted that her growth will be slower because of it. She is very healthy and active otherwise.
And all I do on Xbox live is play Uno or watch netflix. Haha its the bf's really.

Exactly what I am saying. The baro pressure down by you still is screaming SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER. Up here, its not. I am accepting that. I think as long as our tegus are eating at all, we are ahead of the game.
I am telling you. Animals can tell what the weather is, without every seeing through a window, or going outside. On dreary, rainy days, it takes all of my tortoises several extra hours to come out of their burrows. They can feel the changes in pressure, and in the wild, when it rains, they would stay inside their burrows all day and wait it out. Its the artificial heat and light of their basking bulbs that eventually rouses them, and gets them going after their food.

I know....I was expecting an eating machine. But really---how big can their little stomachs be? That's what I keep telling myself. Cleo will grow at her own rate. If thats slow and steady, so be it. I am just keeping offering more than she will eat, and when the day comes when she wants to eat a few bites more, it will be available for her.
