I was wondering how long it takes from hatching for a bearded dragon to become fully mature.

Thanks,

Bearded Dragons are considered Adults at the ages of 12-18 months old. 18 months old is the youngest that they are able to safely breed and usually by 2 years of age they are done growing in length and filling out as well.

They say you should wait till 2 years before mating even at 18 months they can be too young to mate. So if you are looking for mating reasonings i would wait till 2 years.

Thanks for all your help. One more question:

How long do bearded dragons live in optimum conditions in domestication?
