I noticed earlier that Ardie has gotten longer in addition to thinner (which had me very anxious since he's been ridiculously stubborn about eating dubias the past few days) and while he's not emaciated at the moment, I could see and feel his ribs from the side of his belly sometimes and I want to know if this is normal or not since I've seen some other people's young reptiles seem to go through brief scrawny phases (where their ribs are actually visible in general) but of course that doesn't say much on "normal".
Apart from the lankiness though (and stubborn insistence on big juicy roaches), Ardie is about the same as always. Perhaps even more energetic than before going off the fact he seems to scamper around a lot more. And yes, he's stooling as usual so far.
He lost 10 g compared to on 11/13, though he did regain 4 g after drinking water for a minute from his bath. Should I be concerned yet taking all these into account?

, but there's still a bit of ribs if he bends at the right angle:
