Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Best guess of how old my dragon is?
I bought a dragon from a petstore on September 11th. The owner had no idea whether she was a girl or guy. Io, is infact a girl. My problem is he had no idea when she was born. I have been dying to get a rough estimate because since her, I have bought two other dragons (from breeders) and would like to keep a growth chart and birth month for each of them.
Here are the stats I have for her. I just recently bought a gram scale so she has only been measured twice.
9/13 - 9.75"
11/2 - 12.125"
11/25 - 13.125"
1/07 - 14" - 204 grams
11/20 - 14.5" - 210 grams
My guess is somewhere between 6 to 10 months. I'm leaning toward the higher end.
Any guess or expert opinion's would be appreciate. She is a beautiful Gold x Orange Dragon.

I would guess...
Judging by the size in Sept and the fact that it was a pet store purchase(they usually are smaller for their age) I would guess at a May hatch date. 200 grams is probably a little small for 10 months given the time you have had it. (though possible) I think 7-8 months would be closer.

I had narrowed it down to 8-10 months. She has just grown like a weed since she got moved into her 50 gallon from the petstore. Seems like she completes one shed and then is back in another one.
I think March 2004 - May 2004 would be a good guess. I appreciate the help. I think I'm going to split the difference between the two if anyone doesn't throw an idea out.
Oh, if you want to see her she is the Dragon shown on the What Color Morph is she post back a bit. She was 50$ at the petstore!

Judging from the growth records you have kept, I would say around mid June was her hatch date. She would have been around 10-12 weeks old when you got her @ that length... providing she had normal care until then.
If she lacked some regular feedings or other husbandry needs, it would be earlier.

I think I have decided that she is 8 months.... April 2004. I just got a little girl that was born in June that is 13 inches and 118 grams... and a little boy that was born in August and is 11 inches and 88 grams.
My new little girl is a Chris Allen Red X Orange GG from Dachui. When I compare her to my Pet-Store Bearded her head is only half the size.
Oh ... the dragon I'm talking about CheriS is the one I was trying to find out the color morph a few posts back
