Beardie Weight regulations

[KittyLovesDragons]

So, I'm pretty sure Bodhi is healthy and what not, but it's always good to know if your child or pet is in good health. In this this case, she is both my pet and my baby :lol: . I'm just wondering, what is the appropriate weight for a 6 month old beardie? currently, she is about 200g, and 15.5 inches. Thanks for all the good info on this site!

Hi there, that's a decent weight. She could be a bit heavier but it doesn't mean she's not healthy. Can you post a few full body glamour shots of Bodhi ? Here's how :

Just a comparison, at 6 months old my beardies were the following weights
Peppa (F) 241.7g
Toothless (M) 174.6g
Puff (M) 176g
Rex (F) 221.4g

As you can see there is a spread in weights and all mine were in great shape at 6 months old and still getting two live insect meals per day each and all individually housed.

She looks pretty good from those pics.

I think body condition is a better judge than weight, just like with other animals and even people. She looks good to me as well. Her head, tail and limbs are fleshed out. The muscles/fatpads behind the eyes are plump. Her tail is plump at the base and tapers nicely. Nice meaty little legs.
