That would be me lol
Believe it or not those were born the July before last. Those were the smaller of the group, and I believe they have molted recently and thus should be pretty piggish. I am sure you are aware G. rosea grow pretty slow generally speaking.
For the time I had them (and all 200 others!) They would often go through strange periods of fasting, pigging out, molting frequently, never molting, etc. I am guessing those will fatten up and you won't see them molt for many months from now. Then again they aren't very predictable!
The slow growth rate *could* indicate female too ;) _________________ A considerably greater amount of faith is required to believe that the complexity of this world happened by chance alone, rather than to believe there is a God.

Yes she still had a previous molt in there with her. I'm glad to know of her stages because i would have freaked out if she randomly stopped eating lol My mind is still wired to reptiles whereas if they dont eat its no bueno... i need to reconfigure.
