So Apollo is doing great. He's grown to 15 inches, thats one inch more than when we got him a month a half ago or so. He's gained weight too, turning into a nice big fatty! I can measure him just fine, got a tailor's measuring tape so its easy to twist and bend. I want to weigh him now! But what do I use to weigh him? And what is a healthy weight for a beardie of his size to weigh?

I use a food scale. I put a rectangular critter keeper on it, zero it out then put them in (on at a time). Their weight can vary just like humans. At 15" Dexter was 190 grams and at 15" Luci was close at 195. Now Dexter is 17 3/4" and just over a full pound!
