They're not TOO fat around the middle are they? I'm not used to seeing this much growth all at once.
The definite male looks a lot more plump than the possible female. But in person he doesn't look like that much of a porker.. Maybe the cameras is adding 5 lbs?

No not too chubby. When my red is basking he looks very plump when he is laying down kind of like our thighs when we sit :). Then he gets up to walk around and looks very trim. I wonder if they grow like kids they shoot up and look very trim.

They look very healthy. They need to be plump to fuel that growth spurt that happens. Gary looks very much like a male, he's gonna get big!

Thanks all. It's insane how much they're growing. I'm thinking I was just mildly worried that since they've put on so much weight the last month maybe it was too much or unhealthy.. Now that I look at others on the site they seem more average. They went from eating mice twice a week to eating varied meals daily, with a calcium supplement and a multivitamin supplement. They're almost 2 but with their previous diet I thought they might not be able to reach an average adult size. From the looks of things they might make it after all. I would have loved them to stay small too lol, small is good! I'm only 5' hahaha.
