That is small for a 7 month old but you need to remember that if he came from small parents he will be small too and you won't know that unless you trust the breeder to show you the breeding pair. Now you said he eats fine, What is he eating? Do you give him the daily fresh salad of greens and veggies and all the protein he can eat a couple of times a day? When did you last change your UVB light? They are not effective after 6 months. These are just a few things that come to mind. I am posting my food list and maybe you can find some things there that will interest him.

can i feed spinach and tomatos to my 6 month old baby?
Generally, tomatoes are considered very acidic and best for babies who are 10 months or older, and who have had most other foods already. Cooked tomatoes are less acidic, but I would not give them as one of the first foods - its much better to wait awhile. Symptoms that a food is too acidic for your baby is tummy upsets or rashes on the face and/or bottom.
Spinach is also a veggies that is usually recommended to wait until 8-10 months for. It is very hard to digest and usually causes gas in babies. Also, it has a higher concentration of nitrates than other veggies, which is bad for any baby under 6 months, and the longer you wait the better.
Some good foods for a baby who has just started solids are: green beans, peas, winter squash, pumpkin, sweet potato, apples, pears, bananas, peaches, avocados, carrots. If your son has just started on solid foods, you might want to let him try most of these first before moving on to foods that are harder to digest.
