Concerned about beardie growth

[Dragonism]

Hello~ So I have had my beardie, Charmaine, since February (thats roughly about 5 months.) And she's pretty small in comparison to what other 5 month old beardies would look like at her age. She also hasn't shedded in 7 weeks, so that also has me a bit concerned. Her diet consisted of just crickets when I first got her, but now she eats superworms, and soon I shall be switching over to silkworms or small dubia as her staple (EVEN THOUGH ROACHES CREEP ME THE FRICK OUT). Unfortunately, I can't really get her to eat fruits/salad just yet but I'm trying. ^^; (I've forced her to eat apple, banana, and squash a few times.) I calcium dust her food 5 days a week; not on weekends so that she doesn't overdose. And of course, I make sure her food isn't too big for her to eat. I give her warm baths every other day, and as a matter of fact, a bath is the ONLY way she will drink water. Everything else is a no go.

As for her setup:

Altogether, from head to tail, Charmaine is 10 inches long. She is VERY arboreal for a bearded dragon. Not sure why but she loves to climb and jump so I got her the tree which you can see in the setup. I don't remember what size her tank is, but I am investing in getting her a bigger one soon. I use a regular 75 watt floodlight as her basking light; her basking spot is always between 100 and 105, sometimes more than that. And I use a Reptisun compact UVB bulb (not a coil). Unfortunately I broke the Reptisun tube she had on top and ran low on money, so I've no choice but to use the bulb for now. She's not fussy about it at all and has been pretty healthy. Very energetic, spoiled, and loves to be let out, but I just can't fathom why she's still so small at roughly 5 months. Am I being overly concerned? I know that beardies all grow differently, but as a first time owner I want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

Can you place her on some good quality digital kitchen scales and weigh her in grams ?

I've seen a graphic somewhere (I'll have to find the link) that gives a normalised growth rate chart in grams +/- 1 or 2 standard deviations.

Unfortunately, I do not have a gram scale. :c

Not all dragons have the genetics to be big, some are just naturally smaller. Being healthy is more important then being big.
She looks pretty good, I'm not concerned with her length but her body mass could be a bit more. I'd like to see more weight on her legs and tail. How many feeders is she eating daily?

 

[Dragonism]

Well she's kinda finicky and only eats what she feels like. So about 5 to 7 or 10 superworms a day. Sometimes she'll eat more. I was thinking about getting some waxworms to fatten her up, but I'd rather not risk her becoming addicted to those >_>

So since I apparently cannot find silkworms in stock anywhere, I guess I'm just going to try butterworms. Is that along with superworms an ok staple? She might put on a bit more muscle/fat in her legs too. She loves climbing so...

Odd - I thought most good digital kitchen scales had the option to weigh in ounces or grams.

Ounces will do.
