Not good. At 3 months 20 grams or so is normal... See: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ad.php?t=71073

Also not good. You should consider taking her to a vet. She should be much larger for that age, and the tail should bigger by that age.

A fecal check from a vet will ensure no parasites... other than that check your temperatures and all other caging / setup info.

Minimum 45-50 grams and perfectly healthy... usually over a year old.

I agree with Brian, a fecal is in order and check all of your temps etc.

Also, how do you gutload your feeders? If they are not properly gutloaded there is not enough nutritional value in the insects.

I have a just turned 4 month old male from Manhattan Herps and he is 35 grams.

I agree, that is small. I have a 3 month old that is 23g. I have several that are 4-5 months old and they range from 35 - 45g.
