How Old and How Long?

[disturb3d0n3]

Hey Guys! It's been awhile! Sorry I've neglected you

As my girl is growing I'm just curious as to how old your dragon(s) are and what length they are? The last time I measured Daenerys she was 17.5" She's only 8 1/2 months old so I imagine she's still got a little bit more to grow. She's gonna be a big girl! (unfortunately still need to find my scale to weigh her so I don't have that info)

Background:
I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. She's always had a 10.0 Reptisun, 60w house bulb basking light, paper substrate, has never had problems eating crickets (her main staple insect) however I've used reptiworms as well. Also eagerly eats her salad.

my bearded dragon is about 14 months old, 15" (missing about 1" of her tail) and she is a hefty 514 grams

Alduin about 9-10 weeks 8 inches long.

T-Rex is about 5 1/2 months and is 14 1/4 inches long (minus a bit because of a Nipped tail.)

I'm curious about this too. I don't know Gorbash's exact age because he's from Petco. I think he's about 5 months. He's grown almost 4 inches since I got him at the beginning of January and is already almost 12" long!

Edt: I stand corrected. I just measured him and he's 12.5" long!

This is my growth chart for my babies that I try to update twice a month:

Omy, my girl seems so small to all of yours!

She's enjoying some basking after her bath, so I don't want to interrupt her to measure but I'd guess that's she's just under 12" long (not including missing tip of her tail)

I'm told she's around 4 years old, and I knew she was small for her age, but I didn't realize she was that small. I've had her for about a week now and I don't know who her previous owners were, but from what I've heard, they didn't take the best care of her (probably why she's so small?)

 

[zandi202]

Improper care could definitely be a cause.

As for measuring a beardie with part of their tail missing, measure from tip of the nose to vent. So say that is 7". The tail is the body length plus an inch so 8". That would make the total length 15". Hope that helps.

Improper care could definitely be a cause.

I assumed as much. Do you think she will get bigger now that she's eating properly and has a larger tank to herself? It doesn't matter much to me, I love her just as she is <3 I'm just curious.

 

[zandi202]

Sorry in advance for the thread going off topic.

If she is four years old, then I don't believe she will grow anymore. Beardies do most of their growing their first year of life and an inch or two during their second year. I don't know for sure that she will or won't grow anymore.

My Female Bearded Dragon(Pancake) is 6 months and 14 inches long! I got her when she was 4 months and only 8 inches long. Her previous owner only fed her once a week!
