You may have what we refer to as German Giants, there are some physical differences and they are known for getting much larger than the ones here in the states.

what size are they likely to grow if there german ones???
and at what age are they fully grown in size???
..i know some animals arent fully grown like dogs cats etc till there 18 months..but really there fully grown in size by 10 months..well to the human eye that is..as i said there about 8 maybe 9 months old so is 20 inches large for this age?????

thanks for any info...

ps.its like mine have longer more pointed heads if that makes sense

Ya, the head makes sense, kind of more arrow shaped? 20" at 8-9 months is a wonderful size. Most beardies will continue to grow until about 18 months (the last of that is mainly filling out though). If I had to guess I'd say yours could easily hit 24-26" but it's just a guess. Post some pics sometime, I'd love to see them.

When you named your post "germans oh no . . lol" I had visions of your response based on what it is like to be on holiday with a group of Germans, or maybe reaction to the German terror of the UK during WWII, or any number of interesting laughable issues. However, it is likely due to the size the creatures will grow.

Note: I am of German ancestry myself so I am not attempting to provoke outrage, but it simply sounded humorous. Have YOU who read this ever been on holiday with a group of Germans? You'd understand for sure . . . humor, ha ha, humor, get it?

haha..only problem with the germans is they all get up at the crack of dawn and claim all the sunloungers on holiday..lol..
yes the head is longer shaped like an arrow.i think the smaller squarer head like the pics on here is nicer tho..ill try and get some pics maybe next week and post on here...
