ok

i have seen some dragons that are only 15 inches at that age so it just depends especially if the previous owners did not provide proper care

she is a little smaller than average though but i doubt she will grow any more maybe slightly but not a significant amount of growth

ok a 30 breeder is too small a 40g breeder is the absolute minium and imo that is too small i would not go any smaller than a 75g personally

what kind of sand so you use?

mvb's need to be about 12 inches away 3-4 is too close

dont feed kale or carrrots kale binds calcium and carrots have too much vit.a

also add crickets(or roaches,silkworms etc) to the list i would not just feed supers

you did not say which suppliments you gave her or how often

she should be getting pure calcium(no d3 or phosphorus) 3x a week and a multi vit 1 x a week repcal brands are great

dragons rarly do drink water from a dish(although some do) so it is reccomended to bath 2-3 x a week in warm water

just make sure when you mist not to do it in her enclosure
