if it is just german giant (and not like "orange GG"
then DON't pay more than $35
otherwise you can buy it cheaper....god bless this site and telling everyone how to breed

That really means nothing. It depends on the bloodlines they are from. This is one of my babies from a GG hypo crossed to one of my Florida Oranges
he is only a few months old.

they are small to med, they have a few. but not much color yet,not much more than my normal anyway and they are around $70, about the average price for a norm in a P.S. around hear. are they just dull cause there at the store or will they stay normal looking?

A lot depends on genetics. Pet store BDs are not known for good genes. Many people think that a big dragon is a GG and that anything with color is a Sandfire. With all the misconceptions out there, unless you buy from a reputable breeder with proven bloodlines you are buying a normal, maybe a nice looking colorful normal but dont count on a bloodline of higher quality..

if they don't have color now....they won't later either. the color of a dragon only changes slightly as it grows (ie...you'll barely notice a difference).
i've heard people that work at pet stores tell me "oh...the color will be amazing when it grows up!" when they told me this it was a normal dragon. don't listen to their lies...they are only tring to sell you one of theirs.
they probably don't even know what they are talking about...probably don't even know what a german giant even is.
70 bones for a normal dragon is quite much...i suggest finding a breeder where you can pay 70 bones for an amazing dragon.

well i would really like to find a female freind for my guy so i went back to find out what i could and besides the low color i found out that they are older than my guy but they are smaller than my normal. i think you are right they either dont know or dont care what they have so i wont be purchasing from them.
so how do i find a good breeder in my area as most of the prices i can find online seem high to me, im not looking for any specific morf i just want my guy to have a pretty freind
