wondering if im doing something wrong

[mgodfriaux]

OK so I've had my baby since February . When I got him he was three inches long he is now eight and a quarter inches but I figure he's about three and a half months old. .... shouldn't he be bigger by now? I'm always reading about how much their beardies eat and how fast they grow. ... I feed roaches and butterworms and use the veggie list from beautiful dragons his basking temps are 95-110 and his cool side 75-85 his tank is 4X2x2 custom made with a reptisun 10 for uvb and 2 household bulbs for heat I let him eat how much he wants like 4x a day the substrate is tile and he soaks everyday he pops good and his fecal came back clean I check temps with a temp gun am I doing something wrong oh and he does get calcium 5x a week and the multi 2x a week

sounds like everything is right. how often is he shedding?

they all grow at different rates.
if he isn't shedding or growing i would have him tested for parasites.

He is shedding and growing. .. shed once a week for five weeks. ... I got him tested and it came back clear

then he is fine. just one day your going to reach into his viv and say "holy crap! when did you get so huge!!"
