Is my dragon too fat?

He is about 7 months old and 16 inches long. I feed him twice a day: in the morning he gets either collard greens, mustard greens, or turnip greens mixed in with 60-70 phoenix worms and at night depending on what I have in stock he gets either crickets or superworms, about as many as he'll eat in around 15 minutes. Usually this is ~50 crickets or ~10-12 superworms. He gets baths 3 times a week and makes a bowel movement once or twice a day. I wouldn't really be concerned but I keep getting comments from friends and family on how big and fat he looks.

I'm not sure of his weight because I don't have an appropriately sized scale to weigh him on. I've read that you should stop feeding twice a day when they refuse a second meal, but my Kaesar is a pretty voracious eater and is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. Should I cut his feedings down to once a day?

Hi there, nice looking dragon ! Well, I would say to start feeding him one meal [ of insects ] 4X a week, and 2 meals [ of insects ] 3X a week, giving as many greens as he wants [ turnip, collard, mustard] . Focus on lots of greens along with the bugs, and crickets more than supers. Even though he's still growing, they can start on the road to obesity if you notice a gut hanging down like his is starting to. There are really more + more fat dragons on the boards, and this is leading to serious health issues like gout + fatty liver in young + mid age dragons. So cut back a bit, but not every day, he'll fill out + look more muscular .
