What species is it? It will be different if it a Mali versus a Saharan.

i have a mali who is about 11 or 12 inches and she is 300-ish grams and the vet said she was a good weight. based off the laws of proportions from my lizard, your lizard would be about 6 inches long at that weight
i am going to guess he is underweight. do his hipbones stick out at the top of his tail or is his tail "fat"?

Eek I estimated his weight I was off by an inch or two hes exactly 8 inches.He eats great, hes shedding right now and he doesn't look skinny at all.His basking spot is 125 degrees I keep him in a 40 breeder and he eats endive bok choy carrots supplemented with t-rex uro dust.
