Hey all.

Just updated the spreadsheet. I'm on vacation so I haven't had a chance to do much. But I love all the data so keep it coming.

Summers been busy, camp, friends, cousins, bleh bleh bleh. I finally got around to measuring her! The last time I did was 3 weeks ago. She is now.......

133 grams
8 1/2 inches!
Keep in mind that she is missing 2/3 of her tail.
She gained 30 grams in 3 weeks!
She is a 9-10 month old.
Is this healthy?

Hello,

Gizmo was measured tonight.
15", 305 grams

I don't know if she's just going to be short as she has really dropped off on gaining length. However, her weight continues to rise. She hadn't shed in quite a while as well.

Does anyone know if the length dropping off at this age is normal or not? I adopted her on Jan 30, 2015; she was 6 1/2" and 7 grams. I'm guessing she is very close to 7 months old +/- 2 weeks.

I quickly browsed through some growth charts online, and it looks like Gizmo is doing pretty well! There were some dragons that were longer at 7 months, but a good amount of them were right around 15" at 7 months.

Soleil is going to be bigger than Nero in my next measurements, she's eating way more than he is and she's got a longer tail. He's a month old than her, so it really shows how different they all are. :D

Well, she's bigger than he is now! (To be fair, her tail is longer than his!)

Soleil - 128g, 13.25" at 14.5 weeks
Nero - 110g, 13" at 18 weeks

Wow everyone's babies are growing up.

Zaxxi is now 92g and 11.75". She's HUGE compared with when we brought her home.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
