I'd say 4 -5 weeks old , based on my limited experience , no way is it 2 weeks old.
Dargon2016 , you can get the basking spot warmer (another 5oF maybe) by either adjusting how close the basking spot is to the basking globe's bottom surface (by moving the basking spot up by a few inches, and inch at a time until you achieve the desired basking spot's surface temperature OR by lowing the globe from the roof of the tank similarly).
That's how we all get the desired basking spot temperatures ---- ie by trial and error using a given wattage basking globe , we only upsize the wattage if we can't achieve the aim temperature without the globe surface being too close to the basking spot (and in reach of lizard - if they can touch the surface of the globe it will result in serious burns).
Keep in mind the lizard's head will be closer still , and it will choose the temperature it wants to bask at.
Well I'm relieved that you guys think it's around 6 weeks, trouble is now iv been told to put her in a tub inside the Viv iv got the problem of adjusting my carefully monitored set up to work on this smaller scale. But it's true what she said izzy did feel cold to the touch before I moved her to the tub. Now she seems warmer and happier. Still not a great appetite. She's had 7 size 3 crickets today and no interest in the worms. Taken a little water through the dropper though.
I will put a rock under her basking log and check temps
Thanks

That's one way of partitioning off her big enclosure. Seems to work a treat too.
Izzy is great name for a lizard
My babies (Peppa and Toothless) now 7 months old are in 100L rearing tubs , and have been since they came home with us at 5 weeks old. Tubs are a great solution IMO , all my beardies and bluetongues started off in these same tubs.
, she is now 3 months and is 70g! I'm really happy with her progress she looks great compared to when I first got her. ( don't hold back if I'm deluding myself!) she is now back in her 3 foot Viv and enjoying here branchs and plants. She's down to 2 live feeds a day of size four crickets and happily munchs 20 to 30 a sitting. Plus greens. Again tell me if this is not good. May have the dragon bug now as have a setup ready for the next one!
