Big Boy

I have a bearded dragon that i got about 3.5 months ago when he was 1.5 months old and around 6 or 7 inches long. He'll be 5 months old next week and he's already 17 inches long and weighs 255 grams. My question is: At what age do Bd's generally stop growing? I'm just curious as to how big he's going to get. From the looks of it he going to be a giant, which I'm looking forward to.

I have a baby thats growing at about that rate, 2 months and 8 in. Your dragon is already a beast, but he will probably slow down pretty soon, and stop altogether in about 6 months.

This is Merlin @ 9 months old, just getting ready to go over 600 grams and 22 inches. He is now 700 grams and 24 inches.

Al thought they slow down dramatically at age one, we have had ones that continue to grow up through their 2nd year. They can continue to add bulk past that, but did not add length.

Cheri, do you by any chance have a pic of the huge beardie, i have to see that.

This largest one, 25 inches and 1048 grams ..no fat on him, see under his arms and his beard. He is pictured here with Dr Kathryn Tosney in Daytona at the Breeders Expo 2004, when we was checked by many breeders to verify his size and the photo under it is him with a 2 month old baby (that was really a good size baby). As you can see, his blue blanket went everywhere with him.

WOW that is awesome a giant grunting dragon that loves a blue blanket, i want one!
