    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....

Here is a growth chart by 1 of the top breeders http://www.dachiu.com/care/charts.html according to this, 6 months they sould be around 16 inches. You can also find a helpful caresheet at that site.

Dachiu's chart is a great comparison tool, but also take a look at the lines you have. A german giant line will grow faster and be much larger than say a normal X sunburst line.

What kind of dragons do you have, Jason???
 
10 inches is definatley too small......

Check your basking temps...115 hot side ...80 cool side. "UVB "light (it must say UVB on the label) should be on 12 hours a day. If it is a flourecent bulb your dragon has to get within 6 inches of it to benefit from its rays. If the bulb is 6 months old it probably needs replacing. Calcium powder with D3 one meal daily and vitamins 3 times weekly. Daily chopped greens like collard, tunip or dandlion etc. AND 30 to 60 prey gutloaded insects daily.
If your dragon isn't eating check your temps and you might need to have his stool checked for parasites.

Just remember....the more you feed the more he should grow...


I hope this helps!
 
Can you tell us some info about his set up, types of light, types of heat, what he is fed, supplements and how often, temps he is kept at. All thes place a role in his growth and devel[ment. ALso, what do you check his temps with, this is very important as they have to be accurate and also the brighter the overhead light, the greater stimulus to his appetite, but he also needs UVB light with that brightness and heat.

You have some very good advice in the other's posts on here, we keep temps between 95-110F in the basking point, (ambient is about 10-15 degreens lower) depending on the dragon. Babies seeming to like the higher temps, but you need to have that monitored closely and know it is accurate, the little stick on round ones of the strips are not acccurate, they can be off by as much as 20 degrees. A digital probe from Walmarts houseware section or a temp gun (radio shack has these) is the best way to go. Watch they do not overheat and dehydrate, which young dragons can do fast at higher temps
