I dont know if anyone has ever asked this before so dont yell at me if someone has... Whats the difference between a rankins dragon and a bearded dragon?

Pogona Henrylawsoni or Lawsons dragon (Rankins as its also called although i beleive the rankins dragon actually is pogona rankini) its smaller in size and has a different pattern to the Pogona Vitticeps or Inland bearded dragon, it has a bit of a differnt heat requirement with a basking temp in the low 90's instead of the low 100's (105-115) like the inland bearded dragon, and also doesnt require such a big enclosure as the lawsons dragon grows to a smaller size then the inland bearded, i think about 11-12 inches long where p vitticeps can get to approximatly 24 inches. Other then that its very similar to pogona vitticeps.

Is there any way to tell the difference between a Rankin's and Inland beardie besides size?

They said my beardie was 8 months old, but he isn't his size for 8 months old. Wondering maybe he might be a Rankin instead of an Inland

go to www.sundialreptile.com and have a look at the inlands and the rankins pics

rankins tend to have a very different patterning to the inland bearded, also have a different look to them

i dontt hink its quite like pogona vitticeps, but i have seen rankins with nice yellow color and golds, i dontt hink they have actual phases, but i really dont know, i havnt seen many and i dont think there are a whole lot of people breeding them, hopefully someone has some more info for you.
