Thanks for the support guys. Ya rly dk what else could've happened. Other one I lost was 8 inches at a yr and a few months. Gage I got him at 3". He's been mashing massivores for almost all 2 yrs I've had him which would probably help explain the relatively fast growth for a NTT. As of now I'm dat-less but we'll see what I get next. If I do get another dat though it would have to be at least 7-8". REALLY not up to waiting 2 yrs again for another monster (esp a pellet trained one!)
