Who Has The Biggest Bearded Dragon Out There?
 

I'm trying to see how big P. vitticeps can actually get. If you have a giant Inland Bearded Dragon, please post a picture. Over the years I have heard many first hand stories of people's 26, 30, and even 36 inch Bearded Dragons, but none could ever be verified. If you have a monster, please post a pic (preferably on a tape measure) so we can all see if a true giant really exists. The biggest one I have seen, in person, was 22 7/8". I don't believe a 26" P. vitticeps exists, but I would love for someone to prove me wrong! Let's see what you've got...

All of my adults are between 16"-20". Averaging at about 17"-18". I have people tell me they are "small" because bearded dragons should be more like 24"....

I would love to see some pictures of giant bearded dragons too, I have had people claim they are HUGE but no pictures.

My female is the biggest one I have personally seen and she is only 19" When I first got her I thought she was huge (I still do) and so do a lot of my customers. Of course I still have those who claim there's are a lot bigger and one guy says his is at least twice her size. That's right, not just bigger, AT LEAST twice her size. I've told him I'd like to see this world record bearded dragon but he has not offered to bring it in so I can get a picture of it. I think its the same guy with the 10 foot ball python.

Yea the biggest I have I think it right around the 20-21 inch mark but she's only 465grams
I too would love to see a dragon over the 23 inch mark

my liz is almost 19 1/2 and thats big to me:)

My male breeder is 21" from Bloodbank.

LOL, a 19" bearded dragon is very normal, not small. A 15" dragon is small. Anything over 24" is probably exaggeration or vitticeps/Barbata hybrid aka German giant (do "pure" German giants even exist anymore?). If your dragon gets 25"+ it is not a pure vitticeps (or pagona at all) or it is the result of a pituitary disorder.

BTW, there is no difference in body length in our domestic vitticeps from wild vitticeps.

i found a guy who said his dragon is a german giant was 800+ grams but when i looked at the pic it looked no bigger then a normal dragon just a little fat (guess thats the 800 grams) he was asking $250 so i told him if he wanted me to purchase it as a giant from him claiming the size and everything i wanted a pic next to a tape measure and one on a scale he said ok ive been waiting 2 days for the pics
ive never personally seen a dragon at 800 grams but i think its prolly more common then one 24-25inches if any

Hey Kevin I always thought you had the biggest dragon?

800 grams is pretty big but not unheard of. Carolina Dragons (?) had a leucistic male over 1000 grams but passed.
