Hey, about a week ago I got a bearded dragon from PetSmart and they said it was about 4 months old which I am having trouble believing. She is currently 6 inches long and according to my postage scale weighs 8 grams.
I was wondering if this weight is appropriate for it's size? If it seems extremely unrealistic then it could be my scale, but let me know what you think either way!
I was also wondering if you guys had any sort of idea about how old my dragon is based on this small amount of information.
- I am having trouble getting the pictures from my phone to my computer, sorry for that. -
If you're not sure about your scale you can put something you know the weight of and see if it's accurate.Mine was 2-3 months (so they said) when I got him in Sept (like you @ Petsmart) and he was about 6 inches but I didn't have a scale until Dec. I had trouble with pic too until i emailed them to myself from my phone. Then I could post them.

Puff and Rex were 8g and 7g at 6 weeks old. And Puff was 65.5g and Rex was 77.5g at 4 months old.
Toothless and Peppa were 11.1g and 13.9g at 5 weeks old. Today Toothless and Peppa are 3 months old and came in at 60.6g and 51.1g.
I would question it's being 4 months old, more likely it's 4 weeks old. I suspect the shop has told you a porky, unless the breeder or the shop has literally starved it for it's entire life until you bought it. .... pet shops.....
