Is my bearded dragon fat?

[rakshasa]

I have recently got a bearded dragon who is around 6 months old now. His vivarium set up is correct, with the warm end being 36 Celsius and the cool end being around 25 celsius. My bearded dragon is called Viserion and he also has a UV light. The flooring upon the vivarium is reptile carpet. (The tank set up can be shown in the photo below.)

He eats twice a day, with size four hoppers. He has around 30-40 hoppers a day. And has a bowl of veg once a day. He scoffs both of his food up, and eats all the hoppers given to him in the ten minute period. The hoppers are dusted with calcium and vitamin powder. Calcium power 5 times a week, and vitamin two times a week. He does bask after his feed, however lately he isn't basking as long and much prefers to sit with his bum in his waterbowl most of the day (which is set in the middle, however closer to the hot side which can be seen in his set up photo.)

I have noticing lately that he is getting a very round stomach. He is still very active and comes out several times a day to move around the room and climb up objects. We are unsure if Viserion is a male, but the pet store thinks he is but it is hard due to his age. I am concerned as to what his belly might be from or if it is natural? Please let me know!

He's just a bit rotund, you might scale back just by a few bugs per feeding. Too much protein can cause gout [ although it's not common ] and since he's so well fed and loves his salad that will help him to continue to eat salad as well if you offer just a few less bugs. In general he's fine though.

I would maybe want to be absolutely sure this is a male before doing anything else.
If this is a little girl she may be gravid.
There are several Youtube videos that show you how to check gender of bearded dragons.
If this is a female and she's gravid there are special steps you will need to take to avoid any major problems. And yes, females can have eggs without a male around.

Unless the O.P. is mistaken on the age, 6 months is usually too young to develop eggs, but it's possible that the dragon is a bit older. If you arch the tail up high [ think of a dog on high alert ] and take a few pics I can tell you what sex it is.

Below are two images of my dragon. So you can tell me what gender Viserion might be. Also is the belly is alright or not. It doesn't touch the floor. And he moves around a lot.

It does look female, although the 2nd pic is too dark to be helpful. But there are no hemi pene bulges above the vent to indicate male. One or 2 more good pics would help, but I'm 99.9% sure that's female.

I agree, that sure does look female to me as well.

Yeah, we also think that she is a female. Looking at the photo's and things
