On July 3rd Saphira weighed in at 66g at 10 1/2 inches long.
Today July 27th she is 107g @ 11 1/2 inches long :oops: ...This was after she ate about 30 crickets and pooped one of her famous ginormous Saphira poops.
I'm wondering if my little darling is gaining weight a little too fast. Her belly is a little, welll....round. I'm not exactly sure how old she is. I got her on May 20 and she was 8 inches long.

Right after dinner...looking for more.

Im not 100%, but she looks perfect to me. :) My Norbert's tummy always looks especially huge right after he eats. Also, her growth seems normal. Mine usually grows about an inch every 3 weeks or so.

Thanks guys. I just did not expect her to put on so much weight within one month. Hopefully that means she's growing good :D

My guy is exactly the same. His belly gets really big and almost drags on the ground right after he's done eating, but after he's basked and digested and pooped it's back to normal size. I thought it was weird at first too, haha.

He is an eater and I think he has gained about 100 grams since that picture yet only grew maybe another in. I love fat beardie bellies after they eat.

I just looked back my post here... Since then she has gained 230g and grown 3 1/2 inches! I'll have to get a new pic of her now that she is creeping up on being 6 months old.
I hope 330g is appropriate for 15 inches of dragon. :shock:
She doesn't look fat to me....but she is MY "little" love. :love5:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
