Is he too skinny?

So Queso has been looking a little skinny lately. I feed him around 12 large crickets a day, plus dried food. I think he eats plenty, and he still has giant poos every other day, but I’m worried. Should I take him to the vet?

What is his weight and length? Pictures can be deceiving.

His fat stores in his tail and head aren't depleted, so he isn't at an unhealthy low weight. Some dragons, especially the males, are more slim built like that. Based on the pictures alone, I'd say he looks to be a healthy weight.

You do need to get him eating salads though. Salads provide a lot of needed nutrients that are required for your dragons good health and weight.

Ok, I’ll get him some salad. I’ll take some measurements too.

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!
