>>My BD (male) is currently at about 16.5 inches long, and about 420 grams. He'll be a year old on July 12.
Sounds pretty good, the length could be better, but considering the length he weighs a lot. Part of the reason dragons seem "smaller" now is because of the weak genetics in the US dragons caused by such a limited gene pool with no exportation. Some dragons are now 14" or so as adults!!! If people work to only breed the biggest beardeds, then, *maybe* we could see a return to the bigger, healthier dragons, that are so uncommon these days. But your little guy seems to be of a healthy weight, even if he is a *bit* on the short side.
