Is he too skinny?

So Queso has been looking a little skinny lately. I feed him around 12 large crickets a day, plus dried food. I think he eats plenty, and he still has giant poos every other day, but I’m worried. Should I take him to the vet?

What is his weight and length? Pictures can be deceiving.

His fat stores in his tail and head aren't depleted, so he isn't at an unhealthy low weight. Some dragons, especially the males, are more slim built like that. Based on the pictures alone, I'd say he looks to be a healthy weight.

You do need to get him eating salads though. Salads provide a lot of needed nutrients that are required for your dragons good health and weight.

Ok, I’ll get him some salad. I’ll take some measurements too.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
