We have one here that's almost the same age, same size, and fairly close to the same color. He even has the same "y" shaped marking on his tail.

I'll have to post a current picture soon.

Could be.

We got Grumpy back at the end of July at a pet shop.
He was about 8 inches long, and maybe 30-40 grams.
The vet said he was no more than 3 and a half months old when we got him, so it's possible he's already 6 months old.

We all thought he was a girl. Boy were we wrong.
He has since shown us exactly how much of a male he is, and has his own tank now. ( Earning his name, he is. )

Anyway, here he is. 15 and a quarter inches, and 238 grams.
( He's growing at an 1/4 inch a week currently, and put on 40 grams in the last two weeks. )

Also, his nose and tail are about to shed.

yeah mine is a lil weird as well...

just doesnt like to be picked up ... (only my mother seems to have the touch... he loves hanging out with my mom)...

its funny cuz u would never know the personalties dragons have until you own a few... ( key word: "few"

nice dragon !!!

Thanks.

Grumpy gets along just fine with people. It's our other 2 dragons he has a problem with.

And his ex-cagemate is larger than he is.
16 and a quarter inches, and 242 grams. Same age, thereabouts. ( Half a month's difference, if that much. )

It's really funny because up until a month ago, Grumpy was our small dragon.

although I have noticed he isn't as round and fatty as he was a month or two ago... I guess his growth spurt is makin him thin out a little... ( just a tiny bit though)

he is finally taking a liking to pellets (which is a good thing)

WOW!!! He is huge...Ours is 5 months too and is only pushing 11 inches.

Very impressive!! What do you feed him?
