That sounds ok...they are much slower growers than beardies and dont eat nearly as much. Females are even slower growers typically.

:I'm a bit concerned about the growth of my frilled. He's 7 months old but only 40gms and 4.5"svl or 13"stl. He eats well but no where near the amount of crickets that my beardies pack away. He has up to date UVB (zoomed 5.0) and good temps (90 in the backing spot and about 80 else where). His crickets are dusted with calcium 5/7 days and vitamins 3/7 days. He's in a 40 gal breeder tank with lg water bowl, fogger, coconut fiber bedding, two diagonal climbing branches, undertank heater etc. I've dewormed him with panacur just in case of any worms. Is this growth normal or should I be concerned??
