am i just being paranoid about my bearded dragon

[drakedragon]

so she will be 7 months old around the 17th june. but my problem i have is she is only around 12.5" and has been that size for the past few months. i mean she looks healthy (to me) and is starting to shed again so i assume that means she is growing. but she doesnt appear to be growing lenght wise.

i believe she lost some weight last week (either that or the scales were wrong). but has put some of it back on this week and currently weighs 238g

ive attached a few photos of her which i took earlier

i just sometimes feel like she isnt going to get any bigger. its like she is stuck at 12.5" and refuses to get any bigger.

I agree. She looks very healthy to me.
Sometimes beardies would grow girth before length, while others would be length before girth.

Her weight is also fine for her age.

i was wondering if she was getting wider first before she was getting longer

I don't have any experience with young dragons, got mine as adults but I know with a lot of animals they grow longer, then stop and add some weight, then grow long again. It seems like the rest of the body has to catch up to the longer body. It is hard not be paranoid about these wonderful dragons, we want only the best for them.

They continue to grow until about 2 yrs old so she certainly has some growing to do yet. Since she is missing the end of her tail, she would probably be at least 2" longer. Her wt looks good & she looks nice and healthy. A good sign that she is shedding.
