She's a Normal / Wild-type morph.
Try adding Spring Greens, Watercress and Butternut Squash to her diet. I'd reduce / remove the cos lettuce and beansprouts; dandelions are great for them. She doesn't need fuzzies; they are too high in fat for her. Instead of mealworms you might want to try morio worms - they are larger and slightly better for her, but still not suitable as a staple diet. Crickets are great as a staple food, as are locusts / most cockroaches. You could also try her with calci-grubs if you can find somewhere that stocks them. She looks adult but not too old - perhaps in the range of 18 months to 4 years, but it's very hard to tell, even if you can see the dragon in person. As she's an adult, her diet needs to consist of around 75% greens - she doesn't need much protein, so too much livefood can lead to liver damage / obesity. To get her to eat that amount of greens, you may find it's easier to give her a large bowl of fresh greens each morning, then give her some livefood every other day, after she's eaten some greens. Assuming you feed her livefood every other day, I'd dust one livefood feeding a week with a multi-vit such as Nutrobal, and the other 2-3 with a pure calcium supplement, such as Calypso. She also looks like she needs a larger cage - I'd guess yours is around 3' x 18", and she needs a 4' x 2' cage. Finally, you may want to put a rock around 3-4" tall under her basking light so she can get a little bit closer to it; she looks a bit dark in some of the photos which can indicate her being a bit too cold, and the 2nd photo makes it look like there's a fair distance between the lamp and the floor of the cage. Best of luck with her though - I'm sure you'll have some great fun together!

We've been told she is 9 months old, and i took the photos with a camera phone - so that might explain the darkness is some photos, the viv is 3' x18" x 22" this is the viv we took her in with. It will be upgraded ASAP. I've been looking in books and we are managing to keep her basking spot up to the temps it recommends, but we may get a larger rock and a wire case for the bult if we do raise the level.
When we bought our juvenile beardie the guy in the shop was feeding them on cos lettuce and said this was good for them - as i've been researching online i discovered you could offer them beansprouts, our juvie loves them Storm is not too bothered! If i was to put up a picture of her underneath do you think you could tell what sex she is? |

![]() Cos lettuce is ok for them and can make up a small amount of their diet - it provides a lot of moisture, but there are food around that are much better. As she's going to be on a veg-based diet, it would be sensible to mainly feed her the best things for her, such as spring greens and butternut squash. The same goes for beansprouts - they're great for adding a bit of variety, but there are better (and cheaper!!) types of veg for her. I'd be happy to have a stab at what sex she is, and I'm sure there's plenty of other people on here who can help as well. Have a look at Hades Dragons UK - Sexng Bearded Dragons if you want to have a go yourself. If you can't decide, try and take a few photos like the ones I've got shown on there and post them up on here.
