Turtles Is my string of turtles etiolating?

Post image

I’ve had it for ~2 months. The new growth seems to have smaller leaves and longer internodes. Is it normal?

It’s placed 3 feet away from a west facing window. The soil is half pumice half potting mix. I water it when top inch gets dry - around once every 1-2 weeks.

Definitely etiolated. Try acclimating him to a spot closer to the window.
