size issue :(

[rattazzios]

I got my Boise the day after christmas. When i got her she was only about 4 inches but now shes about five months and barely over 9 inches. She is eating reallywell 25-40 Phoenix worms a day, vegetables such as kale and spinach and carrots. she is shedding normally but doesnt seem to be growing. shes in a 40 gal tank, reptisun tube uvb and a zilla basking lamp. anybody think this isn't normal? what size should be be approximation? any ideas to help her grow?

Don't feed kale, carrots or spinach as they bind calcium. Beautiful dragons.org has a list of what your dragon should eat.

I would also add that 25-40 phoenix worms isn't all that much. I know that when I first got Max at about 3 months and 7 inches, he would eat 60 or more mediums at each feeding. Have you gotten a fecal done? Sometimes they don't really have any other symptoms of parasites besides decreased appetite and slow growth. Max grew quickly, but I can tell you that he was 7 inches when I got him October 6, was 12 inches by Christmas time, and has been 18.5 inches for well over a month now.
