i got my dragong about one year ago and the female is about half the size of the male is this normal or is she possibly sick please help

Some don't grow as fast as others. Has she seen a vet recently? I'd take her in for a wellness exam and have a fecal run just to be sure she isn't carrying a parasite load.

If you are keeping her with your male then she is most likely VERY stressed. Smaller beardeds tend to be the ones have have to deal with alot of stress. REmember, beardeds tend to vie for the best, highest basking spot. THe one the gets it is the dominant. The sub dominant beardies are the ones that eat less, bask less, and all in all dont tend to do as well. Believe me, i have seen this sooo many times. Beardeds that are kept together need a rather large (125g ) space so that there is adequate space to form territories. This may be your bearded's problem..
