How much more will she grow?

sunflowerdragon Jan 29, 2007 07:54 PM

Sunflower, my bearded dragon is now 16 inches from head to tail, I have had her since late this summer. Her father was 21 inches long and her mother I think was 19. How much more do you think she will grow? I also would like to know about how much her color might change, I would ask the person I got her from but when I went to the website it said that the page could not be found.

This is a pic I took of her about 8 days ago,

Most of the Dragons seem to grow to about 20". So she could be 19-20" maybe a little more who knows. Even dragons sold with german giant roots don't seem to get much bigger. Of course there are exceptions since true German Giants can grow up to 26".

Another couple months she'll probaly be 18" then she'll slowly grow over the next year or so to her full length.

Color. Hard to say, but I wouldn't expect much change from what she looks like now. You can probaly enhance her color if you can give her some unfiltered daylight on a regular basis.

yea i agree with above...she will get anywhere from 18-20 inches, who knows maybe bigger. this is based off of info from her parents though. and its based on an average of dragon size. you do get runts who grow slow, or dont fully grow also.

dont worry about her length as much as her weight. an adult dragon should weigh minimum of 300 grams, 350 for breeding. again this is my opinion.
