FAQ
How can I tell my dragon’s age?
You can only estimate it. Under a year, length is a reasonable guide using the chart above; once a dragon reaches adult size, age can’t be judged from size.
My dragon is small for its age — should I worry?
Check basking temperature, UVB and how much it eats first. A dragon that’s small but active, eating and shedding normally is often just a smaller individual; a lethargic or bony one needs a vet.
