I have a few dragons, between 18-22" , the 22" is the heaviest around 620 grams. Yours is a big boy, I think if he had his entire tail he'd be in the 21-23" range. Dezismom has one of the biggest, if not THE biggest on this forum, Dezi is about 25" in length if I'm not mistaken. She'll correct me if she sees this.
That's the range I was thinking he would be as well! Woah 25 inches is big!!!

My boy Levi is a little hefty as well. He is around 18" and weighs about 510g ( as of last week, so possibly less/more now ).
But Kenny really is a big guy haha
Aww great looking dragon! Is he full grown or still growing?
Yeah, I never realized that Kenny was as big as he is until others have been saying it so much recently!

He's a big boy , a great example of a beardie in prime health and condition.
Puff was nudging 640g , Rex is about 650g.
You sure know you have a lizard on you when you are having a snuggle , even more so when Rex decides to head for the back the neck or up on head .
Aww thank you! I worked hard to bring his weight up and have him healthy so hearing that is very nice. His temperament is wonderful too, such a sweet boy with a rough past. He was in an abandoned place in Philly in a 20 gallon with another male, no food, malnourished, and both fought quite a bit.

Great looking Beardie, OP. The truncated tail just gives him character. He looks like a bigger than average guy. My last full grown girl was 21 inches. Yours looks like he'd be bigger than that if his tail was not slightly truncated.
Thank you! Yes, I love him the way he is and character is there for sure. You had a big girl! Yeah, I wonder what he would be with his full tail. If not for a terrible abandonment/cohab situation he would be 100% there. His missing back toes cause him to be a little clumsy getting off of things and gripping but besides that he is doing great!

I know off a 700g beardie , no it's just a regular central , not a German Giant (they aren't found here in Australia).
I have a friend who has a big male eastern water dragon , it's just under 2kg and behaves just like a pet beardie.
German Giants are an interesting conversation and have come up when talking about Kenny before. It was my understanding that they have pretty much been bred out and there are not many left, if any at all. However, how German Giants started was putting together very large bearded dragons and having them breed so I don't understand why people have not pursued creating the German Giants again. Maybe there aren't many very large dragons out there to find, match together, and breed.
