    Hello there, A friend & I acquired 4 diamondbacks on September 6th from a reptile show. At the time all 4 were about the size of a quarter at most. We’re not sure how old they were when we got them. We have them set up with heat & basking lamps. They’re being fed a few times a day a mix of ReptoMin pellets, freeze dried mysis shrimp, krills, & blood worms. 3 of them are growing nicely, however the forth hasn’t grown at all. I’ve attached a link to a picture of the 4 of them together so you can see the size. The big ones love swimming & are very active. The small one however basks 90% of the day and doesn’t have a very big appetite. We’re trying to figure out what is going on with the little one. Do we need to take him/her to the vet or is this normal for some diamondbacks? Thank you! Photo Link: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/67692_4477316244802_552742625_n.jpg
