Hi
How old is he?He looks fairly healthy.Is you uvb a coil,compact or linear.Also you said your using reptical dragon dust?Those are 2 different brands could you specify if its repcal,reptical or dragon dust?How often are you offering the crix(how many times a day)His eyes look nice and bright and he has a nice looking belly in that pick so I am sure he is just fine.

ok
it is a coil

the calcuim is reptical the multi vitamin is dragon dust
he is three or four months old

 

[BEARDIE144]

ohh i offer him crix when i get home from school (im in 6th grade i hade leos before i got pedro) i offer him veggies in the mourning

 

[BEARDIE144]

his belly is usually like that when hes done eating his belly is way bigger well kinda

Oh ok so here is a few suggestions/recommendations that I suggest.First I would get rid of that coil uvb bulb.These are not good for them and in some cases have actually made beardies ill.If you want him to grow properly then get him a Linear Reptisun 10.0.I know they are the same brand but trust me when I say the bulbs are miles apart.Also at his age he needs to be offered crix more then once a day most preferably 3x a day but at least twice a day make sure its no sooner then an hour after lights on and no later then an hour before lights out.Offering him veggies everyday is great and you should keep doing that.The repcal is the bast calcium for him.Which dragon dust are you giving because if I remember correctly I think they all have calcium in it and you dont want to overdose him because that can be just as bad as not get any.I would recommend getting herptivite by repcal for his multivitamin.
As for his belly its very cute little beardie belly,we like those around here :wink:

but is his growth stunted

If he is only 3-4 months old, then he is a good size. I don't think his growth is stunted. He should also be growing more over the next year.

Why do you think he is small? He is bigger than my little girl and he is younger. I would quit worrying about him, he looks healthy. Get a better UVB bulb, and everything will be just fine!

 

[vickson420]

I agree size is ok I would just make the corrections I told you about with the lighting.

He looks cute! Maybe you could post a picture of his whole tank and we will be able to tell if you have it set up right?
