She's looking really good. Their weights vary quite a bit so it's hard to say if a specific number is good or bad. If her weight has been steady compared to her past weights, that's good. At her size and age I'd probably start pushing the veges more and start reducing bugs to every other day and then every third or fourth day gradually. Once she is on a vegetarian diet her weight should stabilize around her healthy range. I've read about dragons being healthy at 700+ grams. None of my guys have been over 500 grams but they've had health issues. It really can vary quite a bit so just watch her trends.

Excellent. Those charts are great. It shows her weight growing and length slowing so she's still got some growing to do but is slowing down so in my opinion it's a good time to start slowing down on the bugs a little and push the salads. As far as supplements go, I'd first follow the instructions on the bottle as they're all a bit different, but otherwise I'd do calcium 2x-4x more than the vitamins. That's just a rough guess based on what I do given non standard bug schedule. A balanced diet and nice variety will make up for miscalculations.
She's a big solid and very happy and healthy looking teenager, Peppa and Toothless are both 10 months old and came in at 382g and 341g on their weekly weighin last Saturday.
I would say your girl will wind up in the higher quartile on the beardie weight distribution when she finally tapers off in the growth and becomes a fully developed adult, she may well be over 700g full grown.
No indication of her growth tapering off in the charts you posted (PS : I'd check those dates on the x axis , something wrong with these (obviously wrong).

Which part is messed up on the x? I have it set for the 9th of each month, but I don't necessarily measure on the 9th nor the same exact period between each measurement. Hence why there's some weird sharp curves and whatnot
Edit: so after more carefully reading the supplement bottles, I think I've been giving Rey supplements all wrong. I have zoomed calcium powder w/d3, and repcal herptivite vitamin powder. Up to this point I would dust the supplement I was using for that day on the bugs (wouldn't consider it a very 'light' dusting nor 'heavy'). I see that I'm supposed to mix the herptivite with calcium powder at a 1:1 ratio? Could someone enlighten me on proper dusting? I'm thinking mix calcium with vitamins once a week, then just calcium on one more day of the week so technically 2x calcium per week, and 1x vit

It not recommended to mix calcium and vit, its too easy to overdose the vit and underdose the calcium. Best to leave them separate so you know exactly how much of each she is getting.
She's a beautiful girl, love her colors and pretty girl face. I agree with Gail that she is getting too heavy and to cut back just slightly on the insects and increase her activity if possible. Some beardies actually reach their full size at a year old, contrary to the info that they grow to 2 years. A few slower growing dragons may take nearer 2 years, but most don't. She may not grow much bigger [ lengthwise ] at all. Be very careful with supplements....many dragons are getting sick + dying suddenly with kidney issues , very likely from excess supplements. Dusting is safer if done only two -three times a week at the most [ 1-2 is fine for adults ], very lightly. Vitamins only 1-2 X and very lightly.
