Lola is Lazy

[DracoLord510]

So my female dragon can be lazy, especially at mealtime, and I'm wondering if it's a problem. She spends most of the day basking and when we feed her we take her off her log and place her on her table (we have a slab of tile 8x8 she eats on). We literally have to herd the crickets towards her to get her to eat, though when she's hungry she eats 20+ crickets a sitting. Is my lizard just lazy or is something wrong?

I'm also wondering about their growth rate, because my male who is 11 months is substantially thicker and heavier than Lola when they have nearly the same setup. Do females just grow slower or should I be concerned?

Lola's setup
50g tank (glass w/screen roof)
100w Powersun UVB/UVA bulb
Calci-sand Substrate
100* basking spot/80* rest of cage

As a side note, Lola has grown from the size of a pinky finger to about a foot and a half in less than a year and she weighs about 1/2 a pound compared to Java weighing a full pound. Java is my male. Lola loves to eat superworms/giant mealworms and vegetables which we feed her with tongs. She has a great appetite.

Here's one of her infamous selfies.

She looks like she's in good shape to me. They all grow at different rates. I'm not sure it's a male/female thing as much as an individual thing. She looks healthy though. As far as the laziness goes, it's not unusual for them to wait for food to come to them. Some of the younger ones get excited and jump all over the place after the crickets. The older ones tend to sit still and wait for the food to come close. As long as her appetite is up, that's good. Does she have energy and roam around a bit when she's out of the tank?

Yeah, she is obsessed with climbing. Has to be on the highest point she can reach.

The climbing is a good sign too. I wouldn't worry about her. Build her a nice high playground to climb in =)
