He did put on some decent size but I don't think he matured. In fact it's impossible. I only got him 5 months ago at about 1 inch in size.The cage does it's job of discouraging escapes...to well.  In fact, I seldom even see him out anymore.I'll have to figure out how to chase him out with the lid totally closed.  Maybe a small shot of cool water...Hmmmmm</blockquote>
