Growth rates?

[Kmay571]

I am sorry if this is the wrong area for this post.

I am concerned about my two girls growing. My Mack snow is 26 grams and a couple days over 3 months. My jungle is only 18 grams and just shy of 3 months.

August 6th, the snow was 17 grams and the jungle was 13 grams.

Is it normal to have such a drastic differences in growth?
The do live together, and have separate feeding areas and I watch while they eat. There has been no bullying.

Yes, it's normal. Different body types, access to food, etc. Here are 2 examples:

I just separated a pair of clutch mates that hatched 8/12. One was 7 grams and the other was 3 grams

I have fraternal twin boys that were born with one 1/4" longer and half a pound lighter than the other. Now they're almost 22 and one is 1/2" taller and 50 pounds lighter (they're both "normal").

I weight my geckos every week and track the info on spreadsheets so I can tell how much everyone is growing or not growing. Looking at all my records I'm surprised how much different two geckos will grow. I have seen ones that are younger out grow older siblings and wonder why they don't grow when they all eat the same, but I know it just works that way some times.
