When we talk measurements do we mean with or with out the tail? I just measured her instead of guessing. She is almost 11.5 inches with tail. I got her in Feb she was about 1.5-2 inches. So i guess that makes her older than i said too. Sorry im a idot

Mine was about the same size when I got him in February and he's only ~6" right now. Crazy...Scientifically, the measurement should be to the base of the tail, the caudal peduncle. Unfortunately, many people either don't realize that or just don't bother. Usually when I post a size I put "to peduncle" in my measurement, to alleviate confusion. I just forgot to do that this time.
How large was she when you got her? Are you varying her diet with other foods? Is she pooping normally?
she was about 1.5 inches when i got her. i have been feeding her blood worms frozen whole shrimp, fiddler crabs, cray fish, and ghost shrimp when she was smaller. She poops fine, if fine is pooping a lot. I'm having a harder and harder time feeding she a variety due to she is a very picky eater.
I know it'll be hard but ignore the puppy dog eyes for a couple of days and then try a different food.
How often are you feeding her? At 13", 1-2x/week, untill her belly is slightly rounded is enough food.
