Blue tongue undersized?

Just wondering at what age roughly is a blue tongue considered fully grown? Mine is 18 months old and still really small. He was underfed by his previous owner, and I am fattening him up now. At a rough guess he would be 20 to 25cm Snout to tip of tail. His pelvic bones are no longer visible. Is he too small? His current diet is a variety of fruit, veg, insects, reptile pellet food, wombaroo reptile supplement and he gets calcium supplements. Not sure of his sex, but I call him a he anyway! He has correct temps and gets UVA/UVB exposure.

He/She is probably a little on the small side but seeing as you have got his her bones to recede behind new flesh/muscle you are on the right track. Be careful not to push it the other way and make him/her obese. The U.V. exposure is very important as is a regulated supply of Calcium. Seems like you are on the right track but a few relevant pics would help us to help you.
