OK Who Has The Biggest Beardie?

[Bearded AL]

:D Since I am a Beardie guy and Burmese put his post up I thought I would put this up (Hiya Burmese).I only have one shes a year old high yellow at 15 inches.What does everyone else have?

[norman]

Ours isnt fullgrown yet but roughly 17 inches....and the new one we are getting from beth wallbank today is i think 13 inches.

my biggest is my pastel gg male. He is 22" and 526gms

18.5 incher ( female normal with some extra ornage on her face :P )

[reptilez]

Mine is 2 yrs old (male) and is just under 2ft, maybe like 23.5inches. My female (2.5yrs) is only inbetween 18-20".

My guys are all on the small side, with Rodin (male) just 17.5 inches at 2 years old. All my females are similar in size. That's probably a result of my diet plan, though. I've seen way too many beardies with liver disease and feed a lower protein diet than most keepers to avoid this. Rodin has not slowed down growing at all yet and might eventually get to a big size but I'm not a fan of fast growth because I seldom see those animals live more than 8 years. I'm shooting for the 25-35 years that Australian keepers can achieve, even though it's not very practical since beardies are so inbred in the Americas and Europe.

My 2 year old yellow male is 24" even..... and my 2 year old regular female is 21.5"

my year-and-a-half bearded (Odysseus) is 16" 2 months ago, and probably about 17"-18" now.

Now if that doesn't sound like a "male" question, I don't know what is. lol, Who has the biggest.....

But seriously. I have a 21 inche female normal (no gg supposedly) and a 22 inch male (normal, could have gg, not sure where he originates from)
I also have a midget. lol, He will be 1 year old in Augest believe it or not and he is 8 inches long and 25 grams. And yes I fed him everyday and have done everything the same as the other three I got with him, he is housed alone and cannot see any other herps. Is a terror, scared of everything and very small!! The other three I got with him are a month older and are 13-17 inches and 125-175 grams. I just don't get it!!! lol. Oh, and he has no parasites as well. So, you tell me. Vet says it may be failure to thrive but he is healthy considering. :( I think he may be the worlds smallest vitticept. lol.

I was caring for a midget that was only 6 3/4 inches at 2 years of age. He was adopted last year and last I heard he hadn't grown. This guy was a midget due to chronic impaction of playsand in his intestines and resultant scarring. Healthy as a horse once the sand was flushed out of him and cuter than anything.

I've seen plenty of FTT (failure to thrive) beardies that do great with their tiny sizes.

I have a 2 year old female normal phase and is 18"

Thanks, we've talked about this little guy before. No impaction, at least none the vet could find. lol. And he poops plenty. But he is terrified of everything. He has actually grown 2 inches and about 10 grams since we last talked. :) I just hope he continues. But it is so strange to see him just a bit bigger than my 2 month old hatchlings!! It's crazy! I've never seen anything like this! But again, I really appriciate the support.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm only 5'1 and then I'm in a wheelchair so I'm really more like 3'9, but I have a real soft spot for the little midgets. Don't we all wish our babies could stay babies for just a while longer?

[damzookeeper]

baha, eyespy, I'm only 4'11. lol. It was fine when I was 13 but now 16 years later, it kind of sucks. lol, but hey, last week I was happy to be short, there was an accident at work and 6 foot long bords went flying horizontally over my head, missed me by about 4-5 inches and fell on the floor behind me. So, it was nice to be short in that insident. lol I could have been decapitated. Litterally. :(
Everyone asked me if I was ok and all I could reply was " I looked up and all I could see was black." lol.
