Iv had my beardie for about a month now after rescuing him from an uneducated and neglectful family (he had calcium sand, poos everywhere, severely dehydrated and skinny).
He's about 9 months and I'm wondering if his size and weight is ideal?
he is 246 grams, 15 inches long. is in a 78 gallon terrarium. is fed greens every couple days and crickets and mealworms (dubias are banned where I am) hes a good eater, but earlier I noticed his ribs are very sunken in although his weight seems fine.
I do not currently have UVB since my post office is on strike (no packages) arrive although it should arrive mid-january

Hello,

It's hard to determine exactly just based on the weight & length without a picture. They are all different
in bone structure & size. At 246 grams that doesn't sound too bad for his length, but it will depend upon
other things like are his hipbones protruding, or what is the condition of his musculature on his thighs, etc.
If you can post a quick picture, that would help.
I hope your UVB gets there soon! You must be in Canada, because of the postal strike!

Hello,

I wondered when you mentioned the Postal strike. They ruined everyone's holidays for sure! I hope
that you get your light soon. Looking forward to seeing pictures.

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Hi there a little update we went from a 50 watt heat lamp to a 100 watt basking halogen heat lamp hahaha I saw some comments about it being so close so I made sure to put it a ruler away from her
Has anyone seen this before? Something in the corner of his mouth
