Ok, I'm learning more about these dragons and I may have an idea what this one male I have rescued MAY be? I did have him for sale, but I was told from his size/age, that he is most likely a Renkins Dragon?
He's older then my male beardie who is over 18 inches! This male here is only 15 inches. He's not growing, but staying fat.
What do you guys think he is? Is he a Renkins Dragon?
Here he is next to a female who is 18 months old and just about over 15 inches. He's on the left.

Him. He's trying to look tough....lol

Tbanks Much in Advance

He is a normal inland bearded dragon.

peace,

He's deffinitely a regular Inland Bearded dragon, not a Renkins. Renkins don't normally get as big as 15".

One thing I noticed, is the dragon in question is very skinny. The base of the tail is very narrow and I can see hip bones in the water (though through water, it is a bit more difficult due to the natural distortions water causes) Yet in the second picture, it looks like he has or had problems with MBD, as the upper jaw is over hanging the lower jaw that doesn't quite look right.

I don't know what your husbandry conditions are, if you house all your dragons in one large tank, or keep them all separate, how often you feed, how much, and what you feed your dragon. The basking temps, if you use UVB producing bulbs or what type, how often they are changed, etc. If all the husbandry requirements are being met, then most likely the problem comes from internal parasites or other health problems which need vet attention immediately. Stress, food/basking spot competition, being dominated by other dragons, if they are all housed together or this one is housed with another, could be the cause of him not growing as fast and being under weight.

Knowing more about how you keep this individual dragon and it's history will make it much easier to point out what needs to be changed, improved etc.

Yes, he is thin because of his last owner not taking good care of him. He came with a group of females. All dragons are in there own cages and getting proper food and vit's intake.
Sorry for the sad pictures though. I hate seeing animals get this sick.
