Beardie Too Skinny?

[akglesing]

So I just want to know what you guys think, is Doug too thin? He's about 8 months and probably about 16-17 inches by now. I feed him around 6 large superworms everyday, sometimes even going up to 9. Including salad. I always notice he has wrinkles on his sides which makes me think he's dehydrated, but I give him baths and will even sometimes syringe feed him some water(not a needle syringe obvi). So idk... is he just a little guy? I know that not all beardies grow to be huge but I'm just a worrier, he's my first.

Him as of right now.

Also sometimes after I feed him I'll notice the wrinkles go away, so is he just contracting himself and not being all flat? What's the deal.

He looks fine to me. The wrinkles are normal and allow them to stretch/puff themselves out. His arms and legs look well formed. He should also have filled out fat pads on top of his head behind his eyes if he's healthy. If they get too skinny, they are missing the fat pads and you can see their hip bones stick out a lot at the base of the tail. If you are concerned about his weight, start weighing him with a kitchen scale and keep a log. You'll want his weight to generally stay level or increase slightly over time. It's more useful to measure his weight against his own history rather than measuring against other dragons as they're all a bit different.
