Wow, that's a lot of growth in 3 weeks. What is your feeding regime and temperatures of your basking area.
Thanks
Bill

They are little eating machines. Last season my clutch of northerns added anywhere between 10 to 30g in weight per week. Watch out for any runts as they are the first picked on.
Nice animals congrats.

Oops that's a typo, should say June 7 (now corrected).
Thanks guys & agreed about the runts. I tend to feed daily for the first couple of months when I keep the babies in groups to make sure everyone gets well fed & nobody is being picked on.

I had 3 in a big tub and the runt got the tip of the tail taken. Fed everyday as well.

Re: Baby Northerns.. how quickly they grow
Seven weeks makes more sense. But it is still very impressive growth. They look great.
