17 inch bearded dragon not getting thick yet?

[breeyawnah]

My beardie Thor is 17 inches long and 10 months old. He is pretty big but he's not getting the thick head and meaty legs yet. Should I be worried or will he think out around a year?
He eats crickets and greens daily (kale, parsley, mustard greens, celery greens, red peppers, green beans and his juvenile bearded dragon pellets) I used to give him meal worms but I stopped about 7 months ago.

PICS? (of him)
and a complete list of his set up/housing (including lights,temps) this will help people answer questions when you have a concern regarding health.

That's him compared to nail polish. His set up is a 40 gallon tank, 100w ceramic heat emitter, 75w basking light and a long tube UVB repti-sun. His cool side is 80 and his warm side is around 95-100. He has a big root that gets him 8-5 inches from his basking/heat emitter

looks pretty good. your set up seems fine, and according to your feeding, he seems to be eating well correct? Honestly, he may just be a smaller dragon. If he's eating regularly and not having any trouble digesting (pooping) then sound to me like you may just a have a little beardie. Any dragon can get "fat" from constant feeding of fattening foods (i.e. mice) but your little guy doesn't look malnourished or sickly so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. just double check your feeding amounts (theres tons of old posts on here in regards to how much to feed ) :wink:

P.S. He is only 10 months old (i just re-read your post) so he could still have a little more growing to do as far as maturing and getting "wider"

Alright! Thank you. He definitely has NOO trouble pooping.
