Size difference

My budddies huge 2 month old bearded dragon and my little 6 month oldhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/15/3yja7uba.jpg

Wow. I'm curious what are you guys feeding them? I know that the quality of food can greatly affect the rate of growth. In fact Snakebytes even talks about it in one of their shows.

He brought his over and i was like omg dude really

Mine is 9.5 inches

That is large for a 2 month old. Does he have any others from the same clutch or know their size? If it's not genetic then it has to be that he's feeding them super gut loaded stuff and they're getting some sort of extra vitamins.

He says the breeder was even suprised i said uhhh yeah he said he puts calcium.poweder with his crickets and thats it

Hm strange. It'll be interesting to see the full adult size but I'm going to guess it'll turn out the same size as yours.

No mine is the small one lol his 2 month old is the huge one

I know I am just saying that when they are both full grown they should be the same size. If not then I want it! You can selectively breed for size so that would be a good one for breeding stock.

Oh yeah i said mine is 9.5 inches from tail to head i think hes growing fine for 6 months

That seems way too big to be a 2 month old...maybe there's some German giant bloodlines in his beardie. Are they siblings?

Nooo mine came from petsmart his came from a breeder

Wow...are you sure that's only 2 months? Seems unusually large for a hatchling...amazing!

Yeah i remember when he got it

Saw this buying bearded dragon article and remembered this thread. It says that a bearded dragon that's less than 6 inches is "too young" to take home. But apparently in the case of that 2 month old beardie, i guess you can't really determine when to take home a baby dragon based on its size anymore.
