Hey I’m new here and I have a question regarding beardy size. I think my guy is too small for his age...
So this is Ansel he’s my first beardie and he’s about 12 months old this month, measuring exactly 12 inches (304.8 mm). He’s a citrus hypo het paradox and I bought him from my local reptile/aquarium store, so I don’t have a breeder to contact to check if being smaller runs in his bloodline.
Here is him with a foot ruler (12 in)
He has a great UV and heating joint lamp that I bought new, and an 18x18” vivarium with a good olive branch he loves to climb up. I feed him mostly large crickets, dubia roaches, and king worms, dusted in calcium and also multivitamin. His favorite veggie is zucchini but I also try to give him butter lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, bananas, apples, carrots, and I gutload the dubias with blood orange. He also gets plenty of calcium outside of dusting because he likes to just eat if off a slate rock I pour it onto, maybe he just likes the flavor?
Just wondering if he’s too tiny! I read a lot about how dragons stop growing at 1 year so let’s hope he gets bigger :/
