Requirements for Rehoming Baby Dragons
 
3 Attachment(s)
I'm just trying to figure out the safest size to sell, and especially to ship, baby dragons. I've heard 6 inches and 6 weeks. Well, I've got a dragon (first 2 pics) that is already 6 1/2 inches (tip of nose to tip of tail), BUT it's less than 4 weeks old!! He/She (too young for me to even bother checking) is the biggest of the clutch, but isn't 4 weeks too young to ship? If shipping is not involved, is there a different "safe size/age"?

Just to show the difference in size, 3rd pic is the same (biggest of the clutch) dragon next to one that's average of the rest of the clutch (about 5 inches, but much smaller overall). These guys started leaving their eggs, 4 weeks ago tomorrow (6/10/11). A couple, including the biggest, have already shed. The hypo next to it (3rd pic) is dull, and it's mouth is starting to peel. Should be gorgeous by the weekend! :D

Along with the 6 weeks and 6 inches rule I also try to observe how well they get around, how well they can hunt and things of that sort. If they are what I would consider a well established baby I would be ok with shipping or re homing. To be extra safe I would probably wait for 5 or 6 weeks anyway

Thanks Candice! I started to list the two biggest dragons yesterday, but then decided that it was probably too early, still. I've got lots of experience with selling/shipping baby balls and boas, but none yet with beardies, and I want to make sure that I do it right. I would really hate to cause one of these little cuties to not make it!!
