I really want to know what the difference is between other Beardies and german giants?

Plus: Would a full blood GG be over 50 dollars as a baby?

I'll give this a try....

German Giants are basically like any other beardie except that their bloodlines were developed in Germany and the Germans focused on size and health rather than color as has happenend in the US. Thus, a GG tends to be larger than US beardies, or should i say US beardies tend to be smaller than GG's

50 bux? 50 bux isnt a bad price at all, assuming the baby is healthy...any type of beardie not just a GG

TAZ

I don't think German Giants were developed in Germany. They're a variation of the bearded dragons found in Australia. This particular locale were more robust and larger than the others. They were caught and sent to Germany who preserved the bloodlines by responsible breeding.

German Giants are more robust and have larger clutch sizes. They're also tend to grow slower, but overall, have a larger build. Fifty dollars is not very much when buying a bearded dragon.

I dont know much about beardies, so this is strickly what i have heard, and observed myself. German Giants get bigger, are more robust, and produce more babies per clutch. IMO, they dont seem as colorfull, and seem to have sharper spines. And the German Giants I have seen are usually around 60-65. And compared to some thats pretty inexpensive.

I have a pastel GG that I got from Garrick at Captive Bred Specialities. I got her when she was 4 mos old for $100. They get bigger & thicker than "normal" beardies & they also have more spikes apparently, from what I was told.
