Weight of Bearded Dragons

[ReptileCraze81]

Hi what should the weight of a healthy Bearded Dragon be? I am new to Bearded Dragons and recently picked up what was told to be a Female and anyway I weighed her with my postal scales and got 434 grams. I couldnt get the tail on the scale so she would weigh a little more. The guy said he had her about a year and a half. Anyway thanks

Just like people bearded dragons come in all shapes and sizes. A good weight is one that when you look at your dragon they look hefty but not ROUND. When they walk, their belly shouldn't touch the ground. You want to look for good fat pads on top of the head or a nice thick tail base.

I once read that a good weight for an adult dragon is 500g. I keep that in the back of my head. My oldest girl is 535g and 20" long and she's well proportioned, she can actually be a little heavier. My boy is 18" long and around 565g and he's a little chunky looking.
