    Unless there have been *many* peer-reviewed studies on the subject, I will remain dubious. A few studies don't always show you if something is true, as they could have been biased, or could have been carried out incorrectly in some other way. Shedding =/= growth, which is the most common reason I hear people say they believe in indeterminate growth. They shed their skin to make room for new, healthy skin cells, just like people.
    Mammals and reptiles are two very different species and homo sapiens are even more different. You cant compare the functioning systems of human and reptile. It's apple and oranges comparisons. Figures don't lie but liars figure. No pun intended. The reptiles most likely grow in micromillimeters that is not evidenced by the human eye. Just IMO also. I am in no way trying to win a debate or change anyone's mind.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Draco hit 30 grams a few weeks ago, and with my most recent shipment of rodents I tried bumping him up to rat pinks...I didn't expect all of them pretty much to be mouse hopper size, though. Only a handful were young enough that they're small enough for him to swallow whole. The rest will need to be cut up for him when he runs out of the smaller ones. He's still growing yet, though, so he may end up growing into them eventually.

    I've been seeing him out a lot more recently as well, although he's still as jumpy as usual, he doesn't hide at every movement, just if someone moves too fast. He's also been swimming in his water dish lately, so I may go ahead and get him a larger bowl to give him some more room to swim.
