Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Male to Female Growth??
We bought 3 baby veilds all at the same time and same size. Our male is growing sooo much faster than our females. He is, in fact, three time thier size now. Why is this?? Do males generally grow faster than females? Is he just a better hunter?? We offer both cup and loose crickets to encourage hunting. Thanks!

How old are they and how are they housed?
With my baby vieleds they all grew at the same rate until they were about 3 months old then the males did get bigger faster than the females, much because they are at adult size at around 6 months and the males get much larger than females.

The two females are in a 38 gallon reptairum and the male is in a 22 gallon. They are 3 months old, give or take a week or two. We have wooden cages set up out back for when they need them.

I would seperate the females, I have only kept 2 females together at that age in a 100 gallon. In a 38 they may be battling for food. Are both of the females the same size? And Id move the male to the 38 gallon, a 2X2X4 would be better though.
How big are they snout to vent and how much larger is the male?
At 3 months the males do start to take off a bit in growth and get larger than the girls so it could be the age, it could also be diet, temps etc.
Do you have any photos of them?
