She's not growing and I don't understand why.
She's eating her Reptiworms like a little piggy now. She chows down on her greens. Her poops are normal. She's well hydrated... I don't understand why she isn't growing.

She's on shelf liner, she has a Powersun MVB (which may be the problem, but I'm not too sure... Gatsby has one too and he's growing like a weed), she gets daily baths, she gets daily cuddles... Lights on at 8am, lights off at 10pm... Her temps are 102 on the hot side, 85ish on the cool side.
What else would be a factor of her not growing?
Oh, I took her and Gatsby to the vet, they're both free of parasites. They're not housed together, so I don't think stress would be a big contributor, as she's always got her bright happy colors on.

So, any ideas on why she isn't growing?

Genetics, the amount of time, you seeing Indie everyday.

Have you actually measured or just judged by looks? Sometimes you might not think they have grown because you see them all the time but the measuring tape might tell a different story.

Judging by measuring tape.
She was 8" when I got her, now over a month later, she's only about 8.5" at most.
She hasn't even shed, nor does it look like she's going to either any time soon.

Don't worry, i had the same problem with mine. She seemed small for her age and was 8 or 9inches (4 months old) when i got her. She didn't seem to be growing and i was worried. Then she seemed to have a growth spurt and i could see she was getting bigger- especially when i compare photos. In total she has grown 7 inches in just over 3 months. It might not seem much but i can certainly tell the difference.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
