We brought home our first beardie nearly 3 weeks ago and the shop that we had him from said he was 5 months old, but he was only about 7.5 inches in length. I didn't query it at the time until I started reading about others of the same age on here. Last week I weighed him and he was only 22g. I have just remeasure him and he is closer to 9 inches now and in 4 days has gone up to 24g - but isn't this very very small for a supposed 6 month old?? His set up is good and temperatures fine. He's eating at least morning and night and most days about 10 medium sized locusts (pet shop said 3 morning and night) and I have been feeding him for 10 mins or until he stops being intersted. He spends most of his day climbing round in the plants we have in viv so is reasonably active I think. Do you think the pet shop got the wrong age for him and could anyone have a guess at his age
