i purchased my leo moose in late august 09. she was 3" then and is currently 6" is that a good growth rate for a leo? she eats super-worms,waxworms(rarely), mealies(occaisionally), and crix(rarely). she wont really go after the crix and i dont really feed her many waxes or mealies. i dust her food with reptocal w/d3 2-4x a week. she has two hides(one moist) and i keep a blue lamp over her 20 gal. 24hrs. she also has a calcium bowl and water availible 24/7. what do you think?

It can be hard to tell by just length. Weight is usually a more helpful indicator. Also, Leopard geckos tend to grow at all different rates. Her diet sounds fine. As long as the bulb is keeping the warm side if the tank the proper temperature then she's probably growing normally. Do you have any pictures to compare what she looks like to when you got her?
