[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 143441, member: 4947"] Welcome to the family! First of all, that's not tiny anymore but a beautiful juvenile. [I]G. rosea[/I] is no dwarf species, it's just sloooooooow growing and very well known for having long fasting periods - Why? Just because they can :D Especially, if by "3/4 years" you mean ~9 months, it's totally normal that it hasn't molted in your care and you feel like it's not growing at all. Your T looks all fine and healthy, so no need to worry! Just have it in a dry enclosure, keep the water dish full of fresh water, and overflow the dish occasionally. That's all it needs :) It'll eat and/or molt when it feels like doing so. [/QUOTE]
