How big is your beardie?

She's around 6 inches now, hard to imagine she's gonna grow into one of those scaly giants xD

Holy cow! His tail is SUPER long!

Saphira is four months and one week old. This is an image of her growing chart. I got her when she was around six weeks old, and I don't know the exact date of birth. To be on the safe side I added a week, then I picked a day for her birthday.

My guy is a little over a year and is 22 in mostly tail. he needs to fill out a bit and hell probably get longer. he still eats like crazy. he's a sand fire x german giant btw

Wow. 22? German Giant in him huh? How neato. Do you know his weight?

My guy is 18" nose to tail with a partial tail nip and was 295g when i got him a month ago. He's now 370g and his belly girth is slowing down a bit but he's started to get better muscle tone and fat reserves now. He's growing so well he's shedding his belly, sides, feet, legs, tail, face, chin and a patch on his back all at once

Gary is 18" and 8 months old. He is a beautiful leatherback fro DDR ( Corky Jordon)

Well, I've had Bert for just over 5 weeks now and he's gained almost 100 grams in that time! He is approaching 9 month old now and is up to 351 grams. When I got him in late July, he was 255 grams. I haven't been able to get a measurement of his length lately because he really really really hates it when I try to set him down and straighten him out. He also always tries to attack the end of the measuring tape. He's so silly.

STRYKER II is 7 months old and FINALLY starting to fill out and grow! Just weighed him tonight and he was 12 3/4 inches long and 118 grams! That might not seem like much to others, but STRYKER has been one of the -if not the-smallest Dragons on here! He's up 3/4 inches and 25 grams from 7 days ago.

We've increased his crickets to 45 and his (I know, I know) mealworms to 40-45 a day. Plus make his salad bigger. He wouldn't eat it last night. He only eats once a day. I will stop the mealworms and start ordering crickets on line as soon as I can get my husband's approval - cause I have a feeling I'm gonna need his help! I wan't to get phoenix worms, too-or is there a better worm out there?

I am a little concerned though, cause he hasn't pooped in 2 days. He got a nice warm 30 minute bath tonight and a tummy rub in and out of the water. No poop! So tomorrow, if I don't see one, I'll try a few drops od veggie oil and applesauce. Is it ok if it's the sweetened kind? How much should I try to give him and how often? Then another soak. What if he still doesn't poop? There aren't any vets around THIS weekend, being Labor Day weekend. :help:

Tomorrow I am ordering him a 36" Reptisun 10.0 bulb and hood from petmountain.com. He only has a 5.0 and that's probably been the biggest factor holding him back! Just couldn't afford it!

Then I have to buy a probe thermometer or a temp gun and Styker will finally be all set! We've had him since May, when he was 3 1/2 months old. :love5:

Sorry, if some of this was on the wrong discussion.

The meal worms could definitely be the culprit in his inability to poop. You definitely need to get him off of those immediately. Phoenix worms are a good feeder. You could just feed him more crickets. like you mentioned. There are also some other great worms that are pricey, but they are bigger than phoenix or meal worms, so he wouldn't need as many of them like horn worms and silkworms.

wow... there are a lot of posts on this thread. Anyway, Rocky is almost 4 months old and about 11 inches long. Compared to some of the other posts on here I feel like that Rocky is a little Runt. LOL. But he HAS grown 5.5 inches since we got him on July 8th and I hear that's a pretty fast growth rate. Not sure about his weight I haven't yet invested in a digital scale.

 

[nbrinkley15]

Beardiemommy, where do you get your crickets from? I am assuming you order them online? I can't seem to find a decent place to order from...

I buy mine on ebay... 250 for $16.00, $19.50 for 500 and $24.50 for 1000, free shipping on all.
