Posted by: grimdog at Mon Jun 30 19:38:24 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by grimdog ] Back in the day we lived to 25 because lack of medical care. I weigh my dragons monthly. If a dragon goes 2 months and doesn't gain weight while eating normally and clear of disease it is pretty much done growing. Adult dragons weigh from 300-700 grams. It all depends. It is safe to breed dragons before 18 months. Sources that have said they do it Dragon's Den also The Bearded Dragon Manual, by Philippe de Vosjoli and Robert Mailloux (Sandfire). Paraphrasing it is possible under extreme rairing to breed a dragon at 5-6 months. It is possible for dragons to have 2-3 clutches before their first birthday and up to 7 clutches before the age of 24 months. If these two aren't the peak of top notch breeders I do not know who is. I do not think if it was thought to be dangerous to the dragons health that it would be in print in The Bearded Dragon manual. Not all dragons will be ready this early, but SOME are. Just my opinion, and the opinion of two of the top breeders in the industry. And some girls are done maturing physically by 12 years old, most aren't it is natural variability in living things. | ||
