How old do you think my beardie is?

So I got my beardie at the end of november so i'v had him for around 2 1/2 months and I was wondering how old he is? He wsnt a hatchling when I got him so I dont know his age. Here are some pictures showing him and how long he is (He is around 11 in). Oh and his name is George lol

Hard to say. Length of dragons can vary pretty well depending on age. I had a 3 month old at 10 inches long, and a 5 1/2 month old at 13 inches(she is now 19 inches at almost a year). Saying October 1st is his 'hatch day' is a good bet, though. About a month or so before you got him.

Thanks for replying! So you would say around 5 months?

 

[CountofCasualty]

4-5 yes.

My vote is 3-4 months tops. 6 months is a little much (at that age, I'd say your beardie was not growing well if only 10 inches). As has been said though, there's a huge variation in growth patterns so nothing is set in stone.

If it helps Lowan (my little guy) is 6 months old, 16.5 inches long and 240 grams.
