How big should my beardie be? With Pics!

[audreyastonishing]

I wasn't told how old Slade was when I first got him, so I will post pictures of his growth.
He is about 17 1/2 inches now.
Can anybody tell me how big he should be now, aka if I'm doing a good job..
and also how old he might've been when I got him?
I never thought to ask, I just saw him and fell in LOVE!
He's the greatest. He loves to go on car rides, and go to Petsmart to get his crickets, he just stays on my shoulder.. impressing and wowing all the onlookers! haha.

I can't tell by size. But if he was around 4-5 months old when you got him, he would be about 9 - 10 months old. He is a good size for that age.

You seem to be doing a phenom job with taking care of him. I have a beardy right now that is 4 months old and she is about 12 inches from head to tail. Your first pick looked to be about 2 or 3 months maybe, i'm not doctor but I think that might be close. Your beardy looks great tho, I too have them on my shoulder throughout my house and have yet to take them to Petsmart. I really want to, and now that I know someone else does it, I am going to now!!

LOL! It is very fun to take him out with me.
Most people expect a dog, or a cat, maybe a bird..
and I walk in there with him and I get nothing but stares.
People rush up to me to ask me questions! lol

I really am going to be taking one of both of my beardies with me next time I need to make a trip to Petsmart.
