I'm not sure how old my little guy is. I measured him and he is 7 3/4 inches long. Can you tell the age by the length? I'll have to post better pics, he looks much bigger in "person" he's a little chubber1 I love him to pieces....I see why beardie owners are called slaves! My husband is wondering when I'm going to show him so much attention!
this pic was taken after his bath time poop! TMI? LOL I feel so proud when he poops in the tub! me and my son have a drill set up for when he poops, i grab him out right away and onto the towel he goes and my son flushes! LOL
It would also depend on genetics, if the parents are small beardies then it's possible that your baby is older but could also be younger and just a big baby. Going by my notes of Whiskers when he was 5 mos old he was 14 3/4" long. Sophie was 13" at 3 mos. So, your 8" baby could be really young.
thank you for your replies......i posted some pics.
i got him from a pet shop ( i know, i know. frowned upon by most, but i truly had no idea that you could get them on the internet. and besides i love him, someone has to love petshop animals right?) and when i asked how old he was I got the "DUH" look!
Yes very young and really too young to get a correct sex.You can always pick something unisex so you dont have too change it.My newest beardie is a probable female but I named her Phoenix just in case since it isnt a gender based name.
Your dragon is very cute and a small one, and judging by the size he or him is probably 3-4 months old.
It´s great that some people loves therir reptiles and take care of them just like many people do with other pets like dogs or cats. Congratulations and saludos from mexico.
