I received my baby dragon quite unexpectedly last Christmas. Gryphon was only 4 in.long and I was terrified I'd kill him because I knew NOTHING about caring for him. I found this site and hit on it probably thousands of times during sleepless, panic-filled nights. He is now 15 inches and still growing!
Your posts saved his life (and mine!) and I want to thank all of you for your invaluable advice. Pet Smart said he was 10 wks. at Christmas but he's already so big still shedding every 2 wks. and also showing hemipene bulges (I think)?? Can he really be only be 5-6 months old?
If he was 4" from nose to tail tip when you got him, he was only 2 to 3 weeks old at the time. That would make him somewhere around 3 1/2 to 4 months old and, growing very well, I might add.
Thank you for giving me an approximate age. I didn't realize he could be so long at this age. I'm working on pics but have another issue, just posted under Health, he's breathing heavily gasping/gaping. Never did this before while shedding. Better now after I soaked him with spray bottle, but I'm taking him to vet anyway.
