How to tell your dragons age?

Hey everyone, does anyone know a good way to tell the age of a dragon? I have no idea how old my rescue girl Lilly is. The lady I took her in from had gotten her from a shelter, where she'd been dropped off at after roaming the streets of LA. Her head spikes aren't all that long but they are pretty darn stiff unlike my other 2, plus she has like 3 rows of long spikes on her sides. When I look her in the face I just get this impression that she is like an old lady or something lol. She still the same chunky bodied girl with these little chicken legs lol

This is a chart however the results you will get are an estimate. Or you could contact your reptile vet. Is she a German giant? She looks overweight.

She is definitely a chunky girl, after they reach adult it's hard to put an age to them.
She look quite content 🙂

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
