Im new to the world of beardies, we bought Dovah 2 weeks ago, he is a 3 month old red-citrus dunnar dragon. Im worried because he seems to be small for his age according to most growth charts. I have him in a 40gal terrarium but the breeder only had him in a 10gal. Should he catch up now that he has enough room or will he stay a bit small?

He is still very young and has a lot of time left to grow. Each dragon is unique and grows at his/her own pace. It's important to know that this chart is an average based on a few dragons (50 I think) while it's a good go by for those that may not know the age of their dragon and need an estimate, I wouldn't really use it as a comparison. As long as you are feeding your dragon appropriately and your temps and lighting are correct he will grow on his own time
