Growth?

Postby ThatOneReptileNoob » Wed Jun 16, 2021 2:26 pm

I was wondering; how fast do baby blue tongues take to reach full size, notably when they aren’t being powerfed (I prefer my pets to live their full lifespan, thank you. :lol: )? If there’s any variation in growth times between species I’d be interested to learn about that too. I plan on getting a northern, and am also wondering if a 4’ long enclosure is too small? I’ve read a good few care guides that recommended that size (some said smaller, but I don’t believe them), but it just seems so small for a lizard that size! :lol:

So usually a Northern will be full grown around 8-10 months. I keep my adult male Northern in a 4ft by 2ft by 2ft. They love floor space. The more the better.
