Wondering if this is a good weight for his size

Snout to vent length: 8ish inches

309 grams

7 medium crickets once a week (6 mealworms spread out through the week as treats) (Dubia roaches are banned where I live)

Weight is good but length seems short -- hes almost a year old? He should be atleast 12 inches long and can grow up to 22-24" long by the time hes 2 - if you are in Florida you can get discoid roaches from these two places https://www.lunaroaches.com/ or www.dubiaroaches.com
Is the dragon eating salads? You can also add super worms and horn worms to the diet as treats as well

he is almost a year old or older, he's definitely small, 16 and a half inches from tip of head to tip of tail, unfortunately I'm in canada so there is only 1 place I can get discoid roaches, and that's 280 dollars for 100, (dubias are also banned) he is eating salads yes, I haven't fed him a ton of greens the past 2 weeks due to all the staples being out of stock

ok so hes going to keep growing - 16 inches is good I thought he was 8 inches all together -- $280 is that canadian dollars I am assuming? I know dubias are banned in Canada google your search for discoid roaches in Canada -- they do sell them up there in different places -- https://canada-ant-colony.com/products/discoid-roaches-blaberus-discoidalis I would bookmark this page and keep checking
http://www.beautifuldrahgons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale info its outdated and is a good staple feeder

if he's 16" at 1 y/o how big do you think he will be by 2 years? (as a guess I mean, also "he" might be a "she" I haven't entirely figured it out)

please post a pic of the dragon on a flat surface like the kitchen table w/ vent towards the camera and tail in the air -- we can sex it-- he she will get as big as his genetics will allow - normal pigona dragons are 22"-24" long - mine are both around 22' -- w/ proper surface basking temps-- diet and UVB he will get good size --

From what I see he is a she -- its flat above the vent -- males will have two bulges -- gonna have another person look to make sure
Looks flat [ female ] in that pic but the tail isn't arched high enough to say for sure.
Please post another pic w/ the vent facing the camera again instead of the angle -- but she thinks female as well
