When I first got my beardie they said he was 2 months old, but I am now starting to think he may have only been a month old when I bought him (August 13th). He was 5" long and I just measured him yesterday (Nov 7th) and he is 14" now. I am just curious what you guys think, being more experienced with bearded dragons and all.

If he was 2 months when I got him, would 14" at 5 months be about average?

Very good average size, nice + healthy looking there in the pic. :) Some grow faster, some slower. No need to worry if someone says " mine was 18" at 5 months ". That doesn't translate to a healthier dragon, just a faster grower.

Thanks! I appreciate it! Think I just need to be a little more patient. But I am excited to see how big he can get :)

Hello,

He looks great, no worries at all!
They do grow at different rates, but I would say he has grown fairly quickly then. He looks
very healthy. :D

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
