I have weighed and measured and there is no change to weight or length. I have noticed a little lump when he eats pinky so will up his food size.

He weighed 11g and is 13" long in September , still the same now.

Should I be concerned ?

Pinkies are mainly water, once big enough for fluffs the weight will pile on. This first hit it just a waiting game x

No, I wouldn't worry. As long as he's eating, pooping and shedding then it is normal for him They all grow at different rates, especially when young. How often are you feeding George? If there is hardly any lump with one pinkie it might be worth seeing if he can manage two pinkies per feed.

I will be weighing my hatchlings on Monday but I can already tell who has grown the most. Aphro is massive compared to the others, Titan is getting bigger so quickly he's nearly catching up to Aphro, Aurora is growing longer and longer but is quite narrow, like a little shoe lace. Andromeda is eating well but doesn't appear to be getting any bigger at all.

George may have not been growing due to the fact I have been giving him pinkies. He took a fluff yesterday with no problems. Thanks for the help.
