I kinda did...you can stop after there are no more measurements...this was the Iherp for my sick bluey, Baneling. I do keep track of growth though, specially when young. Your eyes will not deceive you...one month she put on 4 inches!
This is not per shed though.

We have kept tabs on Lissy, she was roughly 8-10 weeks when we got her, and was 10cm long. That was in October 2011, as of May 2012 she has gone to 31 cm and had 5 sheds. I try to weigh and measure occasionally particularly if she seems bigger. It is something I'd like to continue as it is very interesting, I also really enjoy watching her body language.

i havnt noticed a diff in juvie northerns,they are from the same litter and some are growing twice as big as others,yet all shed around the same time,but havnt kept close tabs,so could be missing if the big ones have shed more
