Growing good?

My boy Ivan doesn’t like scales or to be measured. Just wondering if he looks good. First pic is him coming home. It’s almost 3 months to the day. I used Calcium in second pic to show size comparison. He is eating morning greens and Dubia roaches for lunch and dinner. Poops at least once a day and with my heater off in the house, his tank is staying almost a constant 31% humidity. Sheds good, only a small piece on his head he doesn’t want me to help get off. Is he looking good? He is my first beardie.

He growing good-- what uvb are you using? If your using a T 5 bulb when he hits a year you will need to cut back on the calcium D 3 and go to a calcium w/out D 3 No phosphorus-- only give the D 3 two times/ week and the w/ out 3 times per week - you will need to alternate on those days as his insects should be cut down to 2-3 times per week

I think I’m lucky. I’ve heard story’s of them not wanting veggies as they grow up but the older he gets the more he likes his greens

That might change. Mine is almost a year old and now suddenly he doesn't want greens..smh. But yours is looking good. And don't cut down on the insects for a while. Like a few more months at least.

Idk if its just the way his scales look, or if he’s dehydrated, his skin just looks a little wrinkly to me, if you dont already, misting the salads is a good way to get extra water in them.
