Sounds fun



I don't think there will be big differences in size and growth. The big differences will be what the animals are allowed to do behaviourally, or not forced to do.



For instance, my dragons will not be bathed. They will be allowed to remain hydrated behaviorally.



They will be fed 3/8 inch crickets from hatchlings and be on 3/4 inch crickets by 6-7 weeks old. By the time the are around 9 inches, their diet will include supers a few times a week.



They will be able to excavate their own hides.



Depending on what time of the year they are hatched, they will be able to brumate properly. By excavating a humid burrow and back filling the entrance shut. Staying inside as long as they feel fit. Never being dug up for a bath.



Also, if the females lay eggs, they will be able to do so with in the enclosure. Never having to be removed.



Furthermore, and the ultimate test of husbandry, the eggs will be able to incubate with in the enclosure, inside the soil where the female laid them.



My predictions
