 Is he right?

Otis is now a year and 1 month old as of today and I was looking at him and he seems a bit small. I got a real good chance to measure him last night. He is 4.8ft long and he weighs about 7-9lbs. Is he just fine or should I try to fattin him up a bit?

He is an ornate monitor, and I do not have any recent pics of him.

If the base of his tail is nice and round, he doesn’t have the shakes, has good bone mass and is alert I wouldn’t worry about it. That sounds to me like a good weight for his age/size. I bet he’ll start putting on some weight pretty soon.
