Big boy

Hey.
Whenever I show someone a picture of Harold they make a comment that he is huge. I know beardies can get up to 24" (bigger if part German giant) but he's only about 20" and almost 1 year old. I figure he's normal sized but then comparing him to other pictures on here he does seem large? Ideas? Also I know he's a little chubby. He loves to eat. We're working on it slowly

Wow! He is big. He looks pretty healthy. What are you feeding him?

He eats as much as he wants once every other day. I alternate between crickets, mealworms, superworms and Phoenix worms. As treats he gets horned worms, butters and wax worms but not often. Daily salad consists of a staple, usually dandelion greens, and a treat (kale,fruit,parsley).
Calcium dust on every bug feeding (3-4 times a week) and usually on one or two salads.
I use a huge variety of treats in salad (different one daily) so he gets an assortment of vitamins. I do not dust with a multivitamin as with the range of food he eats it's hard to calculate the amount of vitamin a he's already consumed. Better to be safe than sorry.

Not sure why it uploaded upsidedown but here is a picture of his face and head. He loves cuddling almost as much as eating.

I bet it's just a genetic thing. I wouldn't worry. He could just be a big boy. Like my 5'2 mom and 5'7 dad had three boys that all are over 6 feet tall. I wouldn't worry.
