Big size differences. Normal or mutant? ;)

Hey everyone!

So quick question re: the huge size discrepancy with my babies.
The 2 that hatched the same day are quite different in size.

My big one, which I've changed the name to Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors since she's always FEED ME< FEED ME NOW!, is close to 2 1/2 inches, but the one that hatched the same day she did is only 1 3/4 inches long. And the ones I cut out of the eggs are only 1 1/2 inches long.

Is this type of size range normal in a batch? Everyone eats very well and until they're full...although Audrey acts like she's never full.

Not worried, just wondering if I'm going to have a 3 foot mutant axie on my hands.

Soon she'll demand sacrifices of small dogs and neighborhood children.

It's normal to have a large range of sizes. That's why you have to start separating them by size, so the little ones don't get eaten by siblings.

Yes, it would have to be something like that, as I like my dentist too much to feed him to her.
