How do I help my beardie grow?

[anie-and-matilda]

I have an 11-month-old beardie named Matilda (Tilly for short) and I'm really concerned that she is extremely small for her age. I measured her this morning and she's about 13 inches and 129 grams. From what I've seen online she is way smaller than what she is supposed to be. I want to know how I can get her to grow, In both weight and length. Is it too late for her to grow? Will she have bone or organ problems in the future? What do I have to get to help her grow, food and supplement-wise? Thank you!

Diet:
I feed her 2-3 times a day mostly dubias but I just bought waxworms a week or so ago to help her gain weight and have been feeding those to her along with the roaches.
I give her salad with baby greens, carrots, and red cabbage about every other day.

Tank Setup:
Her tank is a 50 gallon, and she has an 18" 15 watts T8 Reptisun UVB, and her basking spot temps (measured with a probe thermometer) are always between 95-110 degrees F.

I'm open to buying, changing, or adding anything for her to make sure my baby is healthy

Sounds like your on the right track but I would not feed anymore red cabbage here is a website to help ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder Nutrition Content
Please lay off the wax worms its like feeding candy to them - they should be fed very sparingly I would get her some other worms like horn -- super -- butter if you can find them or BSFL-- those are a great staple feeder and a great salad topper -- dubias are great feeder -- please start feeding salads every day the UVB is in the tank or top of screen -- this is very important-- as long as shes got a good diet and good basking temps along w/ good UVB she should grow and yes she will continue to grow so dont fret --- they also grow at their own rate and their genetics as well --

The UVB is on top of the screen, for now, I can't figure out how to mount it on the inside without taking up the space for her basking spot. Thank you so much!!

It does not matter if it sits next to her basking bulb shes going to go to the light she needs and she needs it in the tank or unbobstructed
please take your screen off - you can set the UVB width wise on the tank and butt the screen up to the UVB fixture on one end of your tank or you can use these to get it in the tank https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-15-ft-Cable-Ties-Hook-and-Loop-Spool-Black-10375/304220195
this is like a Velcro strap cut into strips and wrap around your fixture - I use them and they work great
