Since they are 2 bearded dragons together they should be twice the size of 1 bearded dragon.
No! Actually most 2-headed bearded dragons(2-headed one body) lack growth hormones an are not of normal size for their age Z&W do not lack growth hormones as much as most, 17 inches is not that bad.
Why would you think they should be twice the size?

By the way does each head get fed? if it was be I would be having fun feeding each head going one for you one for you and keep going.
Also does the owner favor the head on one side more then the other?
As Deborah (Sweetiepie9) mentioned those answers are within this thread but yes Zak and Wheezie both get fed and both eat though they like different things.
Dear how could I favor one more than the other? :roll: I love them equally. An if I didn't one would become depressed which would sadly end in death.

I simply am under the understanding that they were born with the hump.
Actually the hump developes around 2 to 3 months of age in bearded dragons with 2 heads. (If you look at the pic's of them when they were little and there are more on page 1 of this thread.) All 2-headed creatures with the exception of snakes(they have no spine) have this hump where the spine splits even human siamese twins. As for the scoliosis it is in their lower spine and this is due to Wheezie being bigger than Zak. The spine had nowhere to go other than to curve.
Thanks again everyone for the Birthday wishes it means more than you know to us all.
BTW Diane.......love the cake! :wink: :lol:
