So I got this girl when she was about the length of my finger 3-4” long, got her back in Xmas 2019. She looks a lot bigger than most dragons her age, but not sure. She has shed a lot and consistently, don’t know what is normal for these guys. She only almost always wants to eat worms or live food and hardly ever eats her greens. Fed her yellow and red bell peppers and seems she liked them, but don’t want to keep buying them as she went through a phase where she eats different veggies sporadically. I’ve switched from kale, to mustard greens, dandelions, beats, and even romaine, but she won’t stick to eating it repeatedly. Am I making this lady fat?

It’s hard to tell if she’s overweight by the photo but I don’t think she is. What I did with my picky eater was I showed him the worm and when he tried to go after it I would quickly put a piece of kale or something in front so he’d attack the kale instead. It worked pretty good and then eventually I’d give him like one worm or something as a reward.

It wouldn’t hurt to weigh her on a scale just to make sure she isn’t getting to heavy for her size
Is there something available that can tell me what her weight to size should be?
They say an adult dragon thats 300+ grams is good --- my boy weighs 555 grams and my vet wants him to loose weight she wants him down to 525 grams-
