Question
Update:  Since I last wrote to you on 7/1/09 my son's bearded dragon has put on another 50 gms.  He now weighs 170gms at 9 months old. He is about 15 inches long.  How much will be weigh when he reaches 16-20 inches.  He doesnt look fat but has shed all over and is eating like a horse still.   Thanks. Debbie

Answer
Hello Debbie,

GREAT to hear that your son's beardie put on another 50 grams, so, he must be eating tons now & doing much better.  He has really grown then.  
Well, he should exceed 400 grams if he reaches 20 inches, & probably more.  It will depend on how much he fills out.  He should reach his maximal length within 16 months & fill out all during his second year & into his third year.  
I am happy to hear that he is doing so well now.  Eating like a small horse!  :-))
