Should be a big one at that rate. Sounds like he doesn't miss any meals I just love it when they grow like that. My Myah is neck and neck with yours too. Is this the Chris allen dragon? If not how is that one doing too? Feels good when they thrive right? Your doing something right. Good for you.

yeah it def feels good to see my lil guys thriving...

actually the big guy is not from chris allen... (the one from chris is around just 10 weeks old I believe I dont have a definate dob)

this big guy I am talkin about is Tobi... and I bought him from a breeder at the White Plains Expo. He claimed the parents were both purchased from Dragons Den and showed amazing colors (both Sunbursts)so we'll see how he turns out color wise... but I really dont care... he is an amazing dragon and growing at a rediculous rate... I am a power feeder hehehehe.. but he is a power eater... so we get along just fine hehehe

cant wait to see what my RFSF X SUNBURST from CA will turn out like...

I have a feeling he will be a monster as well

isn't turning into a freak of nature! She is 18-weeks-old and 16" long. I got her from Dragons By Nature. I was begining to think she was a freak because she grew so quickly. She's slowing down now, though. I would love to see a pic of your oldest.

What are you guys feeding your dragons, and how often? That's a huge size for that age!! I'd like to see pics of both of your guys' monsters!

Lots and lots of crickets!!! Arwen eats about 60-80 (3/8"-1/2" crickets per day. And she eats a lot of vegitables including escrole, endive, mustard greens topped with something different every day like kiwi, carrots, speghetti squash, mango, papaya, etc. I swear she eats better food than I do!

I haven't given her any mealworms yet but I'm thinking about treating her to some in the near future. I also want to ween her off crickets and on to pellets- but she's enjoying the crickets too much for me to try and do that anytime soon!

Here's a pic of my sweetie.

Thanks for the pic! She's a beaut! Where is a good place to order crickets from?

I'm located in one of the sates where it is cheaper so this supplier is the least expensive place for me to use. I have been very pleased with there shipping methods and price.

I've also used www.wormman.com but you have to order on certain days by a certain time so I stopped using them. They are fast shippers, though.

Hope this helped!
