Bearded dragon size estimate

Hi all!

My little buddy is doing quite well and am just looking to get some thoughts on his growth patterns:

June 10 (about 2 months of age) a bit over 6 inches (didn't measure him then, just an estimate)
July 24 10.75"
August 10 12.45"
Sept 4 15.25"
Sept 27 16 7/8" (about 5 months 17 days of age)

Is this normal growth for a dragon his age? He eats very well and he still looks like a juvenile, his head is relatively small for his body and he weighs 255 grams (which from what I've found is slightly lower than average for his length).

Any predictions for his final length? Not sure what to expect and I want to make sure that I'm providing him ample space if he is going to get noticeably bigger. He's in a 120 gallon tank now. Any thoughts would be amazing. Thanks!

He look very good 👍
It's hard to say about final size though.

It’s hard to predict their final size, at 5 months my guy was 17” and 197 grams and two months later he is 21” and 415 grams so they go through massive growth spurts.

Gotcha. Makes sense. 7 months and 21" is huge man wow. My guy definitely has periodic bursts in growth, he seems to be hitting one right now. He's grown 3/4" over the past week. Appreciate the response!

So to any reading this, how on earth do I post a thread 😅 New here, possibly too old for this

Just Hazel in a filter I need so not posting on forums.
On a quest for pristine beats, I struck gold during a casual coffee shop jam session. The music maestro there ushered me to VOLUMO — New generation electronic music store for pro DJs. Revel in its vast array of tracks and rejuvenate your playlists!
I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
