Growth issues with Super Snows

Hey guys,

So something is going on with one of my geckos that has me baffled. I have read a lot of incidents of super snows growing at a slower rate than other Leos, and a Super Snow I produced last year is growing really slowly if at all. It is scarily small considering it age. It is almost a year old (will be 1 year at the end of next month), eats like a pig, but has yet to reach the 30 gram mark. All other Leos hatched around the same time as that SS, are all of breeding weight already (50 grams, or a few grams shy - although wont be breeding till next year). Do you think this "stunted growth" is just a result of it being a SS, or is some other kind of physical deformity? The Leo is perfectly healthy otherwise.

Thanks,

I have had a certain number of geckos grow very slowly and some, but not all, have been super snows. Sometimes they grow very slowly and then just take off!
