Sorry I’ve been putting up so many posts XD. Is Yoshi a good weight? We have had Yoshi for about 14 months now!
It says 130 grams.
Healthy is relative. He doesn't look over or under fed, so he looks "healthy", but--by weight--seems small for 14 months. For example...waterlilie32":2vn36boh said:Sorry I’ve been putting up so many posts XD. Is Yoshi a good weight? We have had Yoshi for about 14 months now!

There are owners that pop up here every few weeks it seems that are surprised when they discover their male dragon is actually female. If you're not positive , post a couple pics with tail arched up like in this article :

So you say that Yoshi is 14 months or so ? At that age they are usually full size or very near it so Yoshi has had a slow start. What are you feeding him and how often ?

My own is less than 6 months, and weighs 230g @ 16"
Yoshi also doesn't appear (to me) to have a typical head of a Pogona Vitticeps at 14+ months. Is it possible you have a Pogona Henrylawsoni (Rankins Dragon) like these? They look similar to me, and might explain the size/weight difference.
Big Box/Chain dragons aren't automatically/necessarily bad or defective. The thing is, those stores are generally very protective of their sources/breeders, so there's just no way to tell--and no way to ask questions or get answers--about their histories/breeding/health. There may be something wrong, or they may be perfect! So don't beat yourself up over it; despite how much research we do beforehand, we just don't know what we don't know. Nobody does. :wink:waterlilie32":1hu5slcf said:We got Yoshi sadly from a Petsmart I know it’s bad and he was labeled as fancy bearded dragon I believe. So I don’t think he is that special. :lol:

And don't apologize for where you got him, it's no one else's business but yours as to where you got him/her and quite a few people got theirs at a pet store.
