Is my bearded dragon a rankins?

Can't tell from that angle or with such a poor quality (fuzzy/blurry).

Need to see a good closeup from overtop the dragon of it's entire head and neck to make that determination.

What gave you the idea it may be a rankins ?

Sorry about the picture my device doesn't have a very good camera. I got the idea of a ranking because of his small size.

refer to this chart for ADULT bearded dragons head and crown shapes :

A picture of the dragon from above, to show the back pattern, will tell us what it is. These head diagrams/charts are not really useful because even among the p.vitticeps there is a very wide range of head shapes.

As for your dragon being small, many beardies have a slow growth rate for a variety of reasons and owners often post here thinking they have a Rankin's when it's just a very slow growing central beardie.

Thanks. I got a little worried of because of how slow he is growing. :lol:

Also curious if mine is a rankins. He’s 9 months and 8 inches, also seems to have the rankins head shape

Legola can you start a thread about your dragon so it doesn't get mixed up with this one ? Here's how :
