beardie's size

[SpikeTheLizard]

hi everyone! I have a beautiful and happy dragon that is super healthy and is almost 20 inches long. She is 9 months old and has plenty of fat rolls.:lol: Is she a normal length for a 9 month old beardie or is she big for her age? also how can i best estimate how big she will get? thanks!

She's a big girl for her age for sure. Not unheard of, but on the big side. You mentioned rolls, please make sure she's not obese :lol: an obese dragon is bad to have as they can be lazy by nature.

My boy just turned 8mo and he's at 19" and 463g currently and his growth slowed significantly. They stop growing at about 18months, so they both have plenty of time to push those last few inches, but our dragons may slow to a halt now that they're near the "max" 24", though some have gotten bigger than this.
