Size!

[Rocky13]

Hello!

I wanted to ask your opinion. I bought our lovely bearded dragon from a local pet store and they said they were 3 months old but when I look up measurements I feel like she's younger. Since we got her she's been eating and shedding so she's growing! I measured her yesterday and she was 7 inches head to tail.

Hi there....it's possible that she's 3 months old, but some stores really are guessing the age. A 3 month old average size is about 7-11", but may be slightly less or even more.

So really they can all range in size. The charts are an estimate. I'm sure they have growth spurts as well.

Yes, their genetics, temperament + care from the breeder as well as overall health of the mother dragon all play a part.

Her first bath. Photo is upside down but she looked tiny here!! We have had her 2-3 weeks. She's grown!

I just talked to the place I bought her and the reptile guy said that they were 6 weeks when they get them so I don't know why the one girl mistakingly said 3 months. She is younger. Makes me feel better knowing that and that she is growing and shedding!

Hi.
I just want to know about the bathing the beardies.How often is it suppose to be done and for how long at a time?Luke warm water?Depth?Id guess the depth should be just enough for them to be partially in the water but ja,im not sure.Anything else you add would be appreciated.
