I'll keep this pretty short: what factors affect a beardie's growth rate? My 10 week old isn't quite growing how I expected. He eats a healthy diet consisting of how many phoenix worms he can eat a few times a day, squash and kale/collard greens (more collard greens than kale), and I'll occasionally throw in a ton of crickets. He lives in a 55 gallon tank so space isn't an issue.
He does consistently grow, although slowly, so illness isn't a issue (plus he's super active). He's around 8 inches I'd say, and he looks smaller than some of the pictures I've seen on this site. He was the last of his siblings to shed, so maybe he just doesn't grow as fast? Will this affect how big he could get or is that already genetically determined?
