Yes I was. I don't know how big she was when she passed. I never measured her. I was told that it takes 4 years to get to adult size. That they could be brought up to adult size in a year but this causes fatty liver disease and death within a few years, so I just enjoyed her and figured she was growing at her own rate. She did have UVB.

The first thing that a vet will ask when a lizard has her symptoms is if they have UV. The second question is "are you using a Calcium supplement that contains D3?"
