Hi all, I have not been on here in quite some time. I recently moved and got a new beardie, Yoda. I got him in late July and i estimated that he was 3 months old. This would make him about 8 months old. I have read a lot of posts that say their dragons are 400-500 grams at 10 months. Yoda is only 173g, a far cry from 400. I know that all dragons grow at different rates, but I want to make sure he is doing ok.
Care info:
- 40b tank with screen lid
- Repti carpet
- 160w Mega ray MVB bulb
Basking spot @ 95-100 degrees
Cool side about 80 degrees
- Offered greens daily
Collard greens, Turnip greens, squash (cooked), asperagus (cooked), bell pepper
- Crickets or Dubia at least every other day, I am waiting on a large order of roaches in addition to a starter colony, so should be everyday very soon.
He did have a parasite load, but he was given meds a little over a week ago, and he seems to be doing fine now.
I try to replace the repti carpet everyday with a clean one, but it is sometimes every couple of days.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks.
