We have had Heihei since December 26. We are estimating her to be about 3-3.5 months old. She eats well and has definitely grown. We feed her Dubia roaches twice a day, dusted with calcium one of those feedings. She is in a 40 gallon breeder with a 10 HO T5 UVB light, a basking bulb and a CHE. Basking temps are 100-115 depending on how close she is on her basking hammock. The ambient temps are 80-90 (gradient) during the day and 68-75 at night. Substrate is tile and paper towels.
My concern is that I noticed a slight kink in her tail when we got her, and the more she grows, I see her tail is not straightening. She poops regularly, about 3 times a week. We also provide greens and veggies (usually different squashes) every day. The roaches are fed the same as Heihei. She is growing but still seems small compared to many pictures I see here. When we measured her and weighed her last, she was 6.75" (she does have a nipped tail) and 31 grams. Should I be concerned about her tail and size? Since she was about 3 weeks old when we got her, was she too young to have developed MBD? She walks fine. See pic below:
