Is this age to size right? I'm very confused

Hi guys!

So I'm getting my bearded dragon in a couple of months, and I'm looking round to see what is available, maybe if I see one I really like I can ask if they are willing to keep him for a few more months. Anyway, so back to my question, there is this one that I really like, the ad says he is 2 years old, but only 27cm long! Isn't that quite small? Or aren't 2 year olds fully grown yet, or...? He is classified as a Pogona Vitticeps, so no chance he is a Rankins dragon. Here is the link to his ad: http://reptilesdownunder.com/ads/2-yr-old-bearded-dragon-with-enclosure-uv-lamp-thermometer-and-equipment/
Oh yeah, on the ad they mention that he is not a very big eater, would it be hard to get him to eat enough/get the right nutrients, coz I don't want too much of a challenge for my first beardie! :lol:

Thanks in advance!

Hi there....yes, 27 cm is about 10", which is the size of an average 3 month old and it's definitely not a Rankin's. You might ask the poster if the size he listed is a typo. It's definitely not a normal size dragon so don't let him try to convince you that it is, and he may not be really know all about beardies himself.

Yeah, my baby is about 3 months old and is 10 inches. Something seems amiss.

OK, thank you!!

His front legs look very thin in the picture. If you are really interested in him, would be a good idea to ask for full body pictures so you can see the thickness of the base of his tail, etc.

Good luck.

Maybe he was misinformed by the previous owner as to how old he is? :?:
