Bearded Dragon Growth Rate: How Does Your Stack Up?

One of the most common things that happen with a bearded dragon is that they will grow up to a certain length then stop and people want to know if that is normal?

Let me ask have you kept a chart of your bearded dragon's growth rate from about 6 weeks till about 6 months.

Here is the general breakdown of bearded dragons. This doesn't apply to every bearded dragon because there are exceptions. It depends on many factors such as enclosure, food, health and many others. It may be different for you. So I recommend that you have a chart and keep track.

Age (Based on average in inches)

6 weeks--6
7 weeks--6.7
8 weeks--7
9 weeks--7.5 (close to 8)
10 weeks--8.5
11 weeks--9
12 weeks--10.25
13 weeks--11
14 weeks--12.25
15 weeks--13
16 weeks--13.25
17 weeks--14
18 weeks--14.27
19 weeks--14.5
20 weeks--15
6 months--15.25-18

Again, this is just a model to follow and just remember to keep track of this. Most bearded dragons range anywhere from 18-24 approx. If you have a German dragon then you are looking close to 2 feet.

Just remember these three things: Feed, Love and Measure.
