We measured the boy today. From nose to tail, he is 16 inches or 40 centimeters. At the time of this post, he is about 9 months old. His approximate birthday is June 22nd. I got him at Petsmart because that is the only pet store I found that keeps their beardies on reptile carpet instead of sand. It’s not as good as tile, but definitely better than sand. Beardies explore the environment with their tongue, and it is very easy for them to eat sand and get an impaction from it. Never keep bearded dragons on sand! And never keep older (read, not baby) beardies together. They will fight.
