    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I consider my juvies 5 to 8 months of old, sub adults 8 to 11 months old and adults over a year. A healthy adult can be anywhere between 250+ grams on up
 
If you are talking in just general terms I would think anything less than 18 months is a sub adult as dragons should continue to grow/develop until that point, sometimes even a little longer. Difference between a juvie and a sub adult, I would go by size......maybe 12-14" would be the cutoff??? Never really thought about it, lol.

For breeding purposes I feel that normally females shouldn't be bred until the 14-18 month range. I just can't see rushing them. I did have one that bred this year at a young age which was not on purpose, but it happened. She was about 9 months old and 400 grams. All her eggs were good and she laid I believe 2 clutches off the one breeding. I would have preferred to wait till she finished developing, cooled her, then bred her, but hey mistakes happen.
