Hi there, im new to this site and wanted to start off by showing you a few pictures of my almost 3 year old beardy, Rango. I bought him from a pet store back in August where there told me he was about 2 or 2 and a half years old and this is what he looked like
i thought he was kinda on the skinny side as he weighed in at about 315grms and was 16 inches long. i was told he was fully grown and might fill out just a little bit more. i fed him daily on fresh rocket, kale, grated carrot, bell peppers and strawberries and raspberries as a treat along with locust and morio worms every second day. as the weeks went on he seemed to get bigger and fast outgrew the 2.5 ft tank he was sold with shown in this pic as being a new owner i was unaware of how energetic he could be and how much he loves to run around and that this tank was kinda small
i purchased a new 4ftx2ftx2ft vivexotic vivarium in january and he has much more room now. with all the space i have been able to buy him a komodo basking ramp, little cactus, crocodile skull etc which makes me feel happier that his new set up has better equipment and gives him more room. the only problem i have now is i think he may be a little too chubby, im not sure. he is now 18 inches long and weighs around 495grms, maybe more, you may be able to see his belly seems a little bigger in these pictures
is he too chubby or is this a normal weight for a beardy this size. he doesnt run around as much as he use to before december but still eats just as much live food. his temperatures are correct, approx 37degress c on hot end and about 27degress c on cool end, uv light is less than 2 months old, etc so i dont think it has anything to do with husbandry issues, he eats live food as normal but only picks at veg. he sleeps more than he did before december but still goes to hot end of tank to bask on his rocks and often sleeps there if not under his basking platform in centre of tank. he didnt brumate this winter but just got less energetic during the day and slept earlier at night. im just wondering is it normal for them to be a little inactive at this time of year still or is excess weight slowing him down as my vet (who is not a reptile specialist) says hes the biggest dragon he has seen and thinks he weighs more than the average dragon usually does !!!! anyone got any comments that could be helpful i would love to hear them.
