What's Up with My Beardie?!?!?! Empty
PostSubject: What's Up with My Beardie?!?!?!   What's Up with My Beardie?!?!?! EmptySun Sep 09, 2012 8:24 pm

I was wondering why my beardie is still small after having him for about 2-3 years??

HIs diet is Crickets,Superworms, Greens and Ive even fed him Goliath horned Worms a few times.

I mean he's not THAT small but hes not like all the other beardies that I see.
His enviorment is nice. It's an exo Terra with Good sand, decent sized cage.I Give him attention and he even gets bathed...I dont know if those last few had anything to do with his growth but, he stays small... I wonder if I just got the Odd Ball.

Give me some opinions on what you people think. THANKS!!!

What size is small? If he's eating regularly, it could either be parasites or just natural genetics.

It's probably genetics. Most dragons are about 17-21'' full grown but it's not uncommon to have one a little larger or smaller. I've occasionally seen online dwarf ones hatch out that never really grow past a foot or so.

Ive hatched out some dwarfs i sold last year.... they stay tiny. I have seen beardies not grow if their uvb isnt strong enough or the heat isnt hot enough..... could be many things.

I have my tank at about 90-95 degrees.Thats what I thought to that he might be a dwarf or he just gets to that certain size and stops. Or he could just be a VERY slow grower cause he still sheds a lot. I dont know.
Heres a pic but i don't have his whole body in it

Your heat definitely isn't hot enough. Bump it up to 100-105 while making sure the cool spot isn't above 80.

I keep my cool spot as room temp as i can. I usually keep my hot spot around 110-120. So they can get as hot as they want.
