    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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?
