Hi Kayla,
Have you had a fecal done on him? He should be much bigger by now. Also you mention brumation. In my experience I've never seen or heard of a baby brumating...this is their time for growth, not for shutting down. I've never even read anything about a dragon brumating before their first year is finished. Does anyone else have anything else to add to this?
Anyway, I would definitely get a fecal done if you haven't already because this doesn't sound normal.
Also...a good tank size would be 48Lx18Wx18H. That's the minimum I would do but of course you could always go bigger. Definitely keep him in the 20 for now.
Keep us posted,
-Nicky
>>1. I've posted before about my dragon and his size. I got him in January and now I'm realizing he wasn't eating much ect because it was brumation time for my dragon. But now.. (keep in mind I didn't know how old he was when I got him just a baby though) I've had him since January and he is only 7.5 inches long! Is this normal? He eats like a PIG and goes to the bathroom just fine, has all his proper lights and heat sources ect. He's shed a few times which tells me he's growing but I'm just a worried "mom" all around about all 9 of my animals.

>>2. Right now he's just in a 20gal until he gets larger he seems to grow better in a smaller tank then the larger one for now. However I've got a 4 foot long 2 feet wide and 4 foot tall terrium I've made along time ago for my leo's. However I'm looking to cut that down and rebuild a new one. I only ever plan on housing one beardie.. what is a good size to custom build my new tank for him for when he is full grown. Thanks
