    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.

    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....

Hello! :) Quick question, a woman came into my petshop today and told me she seen a woman carrying around a large lizard that she called a "german giant bearded dragon". I looked up pictures, and it doesn't really look any different.

What is the different between a german giant, and other bearded dragons? I know its obviously bigger though. Just curious! Anyone have one? Or heard of them?
 
German Giants are just a bearded dragon morph that was original bred out in germany. it is a vitticeps that was bred to be larger than most. a true german giant (which is almost impossible to come by now) can reach 26 inches in length and over 900 grams. but the term German giant is thrown around quite a bit in the bearded dragon world without proof in the genetic background. Most of the time people have a dragon on the larger side 22 inches or longer and just say its german giant.
 
Ohhh I see, yeah I know people tend to do that. But I heard the term agian today, and the woman said this lizard was bigger than any Bearded Dragon she'd seen. So I was curious, thats a big dragon! Love to have one :)
 
you have to go with breeders that are willing to show proof of the lines. Like my male from LOD that i got in 07 he is a GG mix so to speak. he tipped at 22" and 650grams but his grandfather was 25" 950 grams
 
22" Is still a very good size for bearded dragon. I am guessing it would be difficult to prove if it had actual German Giant lines. They sound pretty neat though =) I noticed they grow incredibly fast, I rescued a Bearded Dragon not to long ago and it was skinny and in a small tank. Once I had him in a 29gl tank and was feeding him everyday his growth was amazing, and so noticable! He was longer, fatter and altogether larger within just a couple weeks.
 
i have a female that i got that has suposed gg blood in her and she grew 2-3x faster than other dragons i got at same time that were older than her.Currently she is just a lil over a yr old now and bigger than my 2 and 4 month old dragons.
