How can u tell???? And is he healthy and look big enough for 6 months

 

[Gail]

Rankins look a lot different. Lighter color, not as spiky, a very distinct pattern on the back and a short, baby like face.
Its hard to judge his size from those pics, how long is he? He looks good, personally I don't worry too much about size unless they are severely stunted.
How much and what are you feeding?

He's about 10-11 inches.. I feed him collard greens and butternut squash daily, i also feed him as many crix as he can eat in 10 mins once in the morning and once in the evening . I have a reptiglo compact but we are moving rooms and i have a reptiglo flouresent ready to be mounted in the cage

He is a bit small but he can still catch up. The coil bulbs aren't good, that could have something to do with his slow growth. A repti SUN 10.0 would be better but a repti glo is ok too, its what I've used for quite awhile.

Will he eat insects more then twice a day? Maybe try feeding more often and see if that helps.

Alright I will! I have a couple pics of him ill put up& ya thats why i got the under the cabinet light fixture to mount in his cage. Im also going to start addin worms into his diet (silk&phoenix!). I want to get roaches but crix are good i geuss. Also i dont really no his temps because i have a petco stick on thermometer but im going to get a digital one. And ya i didnt no about reptisun, ill check i to that! I also bathe him quite alot actually! How big is yours?

I just got my dragon a few days ago, I had been dragonless for over a year. He is 14 inches and 5-6 months old.
The reptisun can be pretty expensive in pet stores, most people order them from petmountain.com. Get a thermometer soon as you can, if its too cool in his cage, he won't eat as much as he should. You can get cheap ones from walmart for around $12

i honestly think its hot and warm enough, because he does that thing with his mouth.. haha

An accurate thermometer really is important. The gaping is a good sign that it is probably hot enough. However, you don't want your little one to get too hot. :wink:

Your little one is very handsome. He is lucky that you care enough to take such good care of him.

my boy is the exact same age He was born in January. He is 18 + inches I have no idea how I think he grows a little on the fast. He is a big boy.
As for your baby He looks really young and a little on the small side but not to bad I would say average for 6 months is 14 inches.
