Aaaa, what's in a name. I had named mine Bubber (don't ask) and Bubberina for what I thought was the girl. When we found out we had the sexes wrong, we kept the names where they were. Now the poor male is named Bubberina. lol. But my male is the really passive one and the female is nuts! Can't tame her.
I've never even thought of giving these guys veggies. Only crickets and worms and moths. I'm not sure if they are omnivores. Somebody else might know. Mine would probably eat them if I put them in front of them. Their appetites are acary!
I would guess yours is in the 6 month range. My colorful male you saw in the picture is about a year I was told and still not full grown. I don't know if they will put on their colors without the opposite sex to show off for or not. Before we got the male, the female would only do it under very high humidity. Now they all do it all the time. So, be patient. She must need to mature a bit.
Glad to hear she's drinking! Also, has she done the "pushups" yet? It's hilarious. If I ever catch the male doing it I'll try to post a clip. If you've ever seen a bearded dragon do pushups, these agama agamas do it exactly the same. They get really low to the ground, then they pop all the way up as high as they can go, then start their pushups. It's a riot!
