    Default Can get him to grow

    i have had this albino for over 2 months and he has barely shown any growth. he's still smaller than an 1.5 inches.
    i keep the daytime temps at 85. night is 72. humidity is as high as i can keep it.
    he eats about 3 crickets every 2 days. i offer everyday.

    i cant seem to get any growth out of him what so ever. any ideas??

    Something dont add up here. If he eats every day , he should be at list 2 1/2. For the first 4 month under normal conditions, they grow at a rate of three qaurtes of an inch per month. In 4 months they should be 3 and a half.

    i offer food everyday but he wont eat everyday. avg is every other day.

    i dont know either. maybe i should raise the temps??

    his behavior seems normal. he burrows during the day. comes out at night to sit in the waterbowl. and eats when he wants to. i usually throw 3 crickets in there everynight. whats not eaten i place back with the other bugs to be gutloaded again.

    I love his color .Thats what I'm looking for in a albino. You only feed him crickets. They need other types of food .

    You also need to. Dust his food with calcium dust at least 3 times a week and dust with a multivitamin once a week. He needs a varied diet like BG said. You don't want to go higher than 85. To hot could possibly stunt his growth as well. Humidity needs to be between 70 and 80. Try feeding him other foods.
