She looks to be about 10-14" long but hard to say without knowing the width of that container in the background. In appearance she looks alot younger th an a year, she has no prominent spines around her head at all, they are all quite small. My dragon at a year old has much bigger spines.



How much food have you been offering? How many crickets does she eat per feeding. How many feedings of crickets have you been giving her since you bought her. Do you offer as many crickets as she can eat in a 10 minute period, or do y ou give a set amount each feeding? Have you had her checked for parasites while you owned her? How long have you had her on sand? Sand can cause impactions at any time in a bearded dragon's life. The risk is higher when they are younger and under 10" long and if the sand is calci-sand or crushed walnut. However even washed sifted children's playsand can cause impaction. There is a less of a risk for it than the calci-sand (pretty much all the petstore sold sands are higher risk). Is she still having regular bowel movements?



Also, what is h er basking spot temperature? THe ambient temperature? Has she brumated at all while you owned her?
