Hello! I haven't posted here for over two years. My bearded dragon will be turning 3 this year, but she isn't the regular size I have seen with bearded dragons. Maybe around 1/2 to 3/4 the size of an average adult. She has proper lighting and temps (UVB and Heat Lamp, UVB is not the compact version and I replace it every year as the instructions say), she has a good diet of superworms, kale, arugula, sometimes carrots and bell pepper, and the occasional hornworm. I feed her calcium and vitamins once or twice a week and she is a healthy weight for her size. Doesn't have any symptoms for any diseases that I know of. Is there any reason why she is rather small? She stopped growing (I think) when she was 1 to 1 and a half. I got her from Pet Supplies Plus (which I don't plan to do again) if that might help. As I know that the big pet shops do not have their animals in the best of envoirments.

Can you post a pic of her please-- dragons grow at their own rates and it really depends on the genetics but also the proper lighting diet basking temps - so for her I am gonna say more going towards her genetics w/ the good start she got

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
