In my experience, no matter how runty or large they were when young, they all end up about the same general length (within 1-2" with wt beng the difference...

One of my holdback hatchlings was held back because of his tiny size. He's 16 mo. old now and just bottomed out my cheap Walmart gram scale at over 500 grams.

I have 7 baby bearded dragons that I got about a month ago. I have noticed that 2 are not quite twice the size of the rest. These to also have wider heads as well as being wider at the base of the tail. The size diffrence is based on porportions, not just size. I was thinking that these two were males and the rest females.

Another question, what is the general sex ratio for beardeds? Is it determined by temp? Thanks, Jake.
