5 grams?!?

So I weighed Lilly today and she only weighs 5 grams. Is that normal?? She's only about 2 months I'm guessing. I rescued her from petco lastnight.

How long is she? When I got Sigrun, he was only 8 grams at 6 inches tip to tip. I thought that was too low, but after a month of regular eating he's about 7 inches long and 15 grams as of Wednesday.

im not sure how long im guessing between 6-7 inches. i dont have a measuring tape at the moment. It just seems low after having a beardie weight 500 grams haha

That seems a little low to me. You may want to throw a nickel on your scale and check it. A nickel should weight exactly 5 grams.

I just got her lastnight from petco and there were like 20 in the same tank so she might not have been eating correctly. When i went 2 weeks ago there were only 3 left so ill fatten her up

 

[bmmst1]

this is how i weigh her i put her in a plastic container. the container weight 151 grams and when i put her in it was 156 grams.

Aw, skinny little thing! Poor baby. You'll fatten her up just fine, though.
