Is it true that beardies can grow to the size of their tanks?

I've had my beardie, Charlie (female), for 4 years now. My parents keep telling me that she'll keep growing into her new cage if we get one. Is this true even though she is full-grown?

It depends -- some will grow after the age of 2 but normally they will stop -- what size tank is she in now? It also depends on genetics as well

I couldn't tell you the exact measurements but the bottom carpet is for 20-gallon tanks so I assume that's what it is.
Please look on Craigslist or FB Marketplace for a tank --- look for one w/ front doors -- if you find one you will need to sanitize it real good w/ Rescue or Zoo Meds WipeOut or some F 10 found on Walmarts website

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
