Meet smurf the worlds smallest beardie

meet smurf... he may verry well be the worlds smallest beardie. as of march he will be one year old. all of his brothers and sisters turned out to be large and healthy. i got smurf and 7 of his siblings in a wholesale lot from a breeder named chris out of the kelowna, bc area. As his brothers grew at normal rates i noticed that smurf would not. He'd shed and eat but never grew. eventualy when his brothers and sisters were bigger i sold them off to local pet stores and friends, but keept smurf due to his special condition. He has the attitude of an adult but the size of a hatchling. i challenge anyone to find one smaller.... good luck

i have a bearded dragon thats tiny to!!! His name is heathcliff and hes about 4 years old now, and only 8 inches long, however hes not small from being a runt. hes so small because the owner that had him before me left him in a cage with other bearded dragons, a bigger male and bigger female, well you must know what happened. the other beardies wouldnt let him eat, and bit chunks off him, hes missing half his back left leg, more than half his tail and his front right hand(claw?).
