How big...curiosity question

kameron Mar 09, 2004 03:51 PM

Okay, with all the turmoil and rumblings going on in this forum lately, I feel I must preface my question with a few notes:

First off, I'm asking this question out of curiosity...I do not intend to use the information to get more breeding out of my animals. I'm pretty sucessful so far in breeding my dragons, and see no reason to change my practices.

That being said, does anyone know how *small* a dragon can be and still breed? i.e. length, age, and weight of the smallest breeding dragons (P. vitticeps, not rankins) out there? I'm not looking to breed small dragons, just curious. I've found info on the size most people accept as an appropriately mature dragon, but nothing on when they actually become sexually mature.

Thank You
Kameron

The smallest and youngest I have read given birth for Pogona vitticeps is 5 months and 14.5" by the Dachius:
