hello jim,
i also have one like that. the little one is
rediculoisly small im proportion to the hatchlings
that hatched on the same day and even ones who hatched
later. i didnt think my littleone would make ot
either as he was lethargic and didnt eat the first 2
weeks. but one day he just piped up, shed and began
eating and is now seemingly normal....except the size.
its the new pigmy!
