I posted this in the general forum too, but thought I should post it in the health forum for a quicker reply.

This is Max! We purchased him in early April at Petsmart. The lady who sold him to us said he was around 2 months old. If this is correct he should be a little over 4 months. He weighs 7g and is about 6inches. He has not grown at all since we purchased him. Took him to the vet and is currently being treated for parasites. He eats 4-6 Phoenix worms maybe 2x a day. Refuses to eat any greens, but we still offer them to him. Tried crickets and he enjoyed them for a while, but doesn't necessarily prefer them. He is in a 50gal tank with UVB and UVA lamps and a basking lamp which gets up to 105°F and the "cooler" spots are about 80°F. He pretty much just basks all day long or sits under the UVB/UVA bulb.

I dont know what else to do besides wait for the treatment to end. We are thinking he could be a pygmy bearded dragon?

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
