Hey guys,

I was just wondering if any of you on this forum site are from New Zealand?

Cheers!

what kind of dragon is that in you siggy pic? Doesn't look like a Pogona Vitticeps, the scale pattern is really cool.

From what we were told he is a Pogona Vetticeps. Or Inland Bearded Dragon.

We reckon he looks really cool as well. When he turns black you can see the scale patterns a lot more. We are hoping that he goes a bit yellow but I really like him how he is. I just want him to bulk up quite a bit.

The pet store where we got him said he wasn't eating much for the first few weeks (about 2 months ago). When we last weighed him he gained 20 grams so that's a positive sign.

And this morning I put some wax worms in his viv and he hunted them all and got them. Was great to see!

On second thought, I think he may look more like this one.

This is a Pogona Barbata ( Eastern Bearded Dragon)

I'm not 100% sure as these guys aren't a very common pet in New Zealand

Thats what I was thinking, he looks completely different then the inlands that we have here in the pet trade. How big is he?

Yea and after seeing peoples photos, he does look completely different. He is about 15" in length or 400mm. He is about 7 to 8 months old
