I was just looking in the classifieds and someone is supposedly selling 3 inch long 9 week old dragons and a 6 month old 6 inch dragon. thats just pathetic. how can someone say they are that old. mine is much younger then 6 months and she is almost a foot long if not bigger by now. she a monster. and to say someone is selling 3 inch lizards is nuts? Is it just me or is that totaly wrong?

Jesus and now i am reading one of his other ads and he has listed a 12 month old male. and when you click it it says a 14month old male 10 inches long. this guy must be nuts or its just me.

It's not you. Sometimes people don't realize how much money and care it takes to raise beardies and either breed them and can't afford the babies or buy dragons and then don't feed them or canm't afford to or just don't know how to provide proper husbandry or food. At any rate, pathetic pretty much sums it up. Sad really.
One thing you should remeber though is that german giant bloodlines grow much faster than others. Your lil girl will be way ahead of dragons without the german background.... but 14 months and 10 inches?

Tulsa,OK

yeah i know my little girl has the german in her and she is going to grow faster but yeah that 14 month one had me going.
My girl shed the other day and she is an orange creamsicle color now. I love how they change with the shed.

You know ,people that dont use their common sense before opening their mouth really discuss me. Just because you have Dragon(s)that are larege.That doesnt mean that everyones dragons shouild be of the same size. Dragons grow just like other living organisms, some get larger quicker than others, some dont grow as fast as some. Ive been Breeding Dragons for 3 years, it sounds like to me that you own the cheaper of the speices- GERMAN GIANTS. Which get larger ang grow faster than crosses, or Sandfires. So if you have no idea what you are talking about - please keep your comments to yourself. Thanx.

P.S
They are still good looking Dragons

LOL, to say that i have the cheaper of Dragons is funny. Yes mine has some German blood in it is true. but to say its cheaper is a laugh all on its own. I will admit i dont know a ton about dragons but i do know that a 14 month old 10 inch dragon is kind of pathetic all on its own. And for someone to sell 3 inch dragons is sick.
The stress level on a 3 inch dragon going through shipping must be great. They have a hard enough time as it is as a hatcling why put them through the extra stress of shipping. I wouldnt fnd it very reputable to sell 3 inch dragons. And I doubt i am the only one who things that.

Oh yeah and my dragon is a cross. just has a little german in it. And I also stated earlier before you commented on anything that i knew my girl was a little bigger because of the german blood. That i didnt over look. And if you dont like what you read its so easy to just not respond.
And I didnt post my first message to start an argument with anyone. I posted it to get a second opinion on the supposed sizes and ages of those dragons. That was all.

There is and never will be anything normal about a 3", 9 week old dragon. That's even small for fresh out of the egg. Sorry, but I have to wonder about your statement of breeding dragons for 3 yrs. They absolutely do not have to be German Giants (which aren't the "cheaper" dragons, btw) to be of a more healthy weight and size. None of the dragons the poster is speaking of is a healthy wt/size no matter what type dragon it is.
