Age guesses??

[Ginjasnapz]

Hi all!

I got my Dexie in Jan. 2022. We were told by a guess he was around 2-3 months old. He was about 8-9 inch When we got him. Today he is measuring 17 in from tip of nose to tail. Is his age accurate to be around 10 months old? When should I be cutting back on bugs and giving more greens ( he eats a daily salad with no problems) I posted pics below when we got him and what he looks like now. Thanks in advance for your help!

I am thinking hes about 10 months old -- he still needs insects every day dusted w/ the calcium D3 ONCE per feeding 5 x per week - and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week ONCE per feeding - this will change once hes about a year old and the insect feeding will change - keep feeding those salads its great that hes eating them - make sure you are using a long tube fixture for a UVB and NO coils please - they are a hazzard to your dragon

I think 300 grams is around what most look for, he is close and looks good so i would say your all good.
