Just want to make sure he is healthy and everything.
He is about a year and 8 months, 17 inches from head to tail, and weighs ~310g. Doesn't look thin, nor fat, he has a good chubby body (I think). Recently he has switched from eating bugs almost daily, to eating mostly veggies.

I'v been reading that a lot of beardies here that are over one year old being 400+ grams.

Or do all these sound right to you guys?

Here is my dude:

Hi there, he looks good + healthy . :) Keep in mind that bigger is not always better/healthier. Many times humans are actually healthier + live longer in cultures where they are smaller [ like many Asians ]

Agreed. Your guy looks healthy and that's all that matters. Too many owners get over consumed by growth and weight that they forget the only thing that matters is good health! :)

Thank you guys!

Makes me feel a a lot better :)Not that I was worried or anything, just seeing a lot of beardie pictures and descriptions in this website of alot of BIG beardies :lol: (some even over 700 grams!! :shock: )

But yeah, he stopped growing a while ago, at 17 inches, so he is indeed on the small side of adult size. But as long as he is healthy :D


Cheers!

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.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
