Bearded Dragon Growth Charts
Below are two charts, showing the growth of some of our bearded dragons
that we raised, most of which, are from different blood lines. One
chart
is for male bearded dragons, and one chart is for female bearded
dragons. There
is no information before 6 weeks because not all of the bearded dragons
lengths were kept track of before the 6 week period. At the right side
of the chart you will find an average growth rate of the combined
animals
in the chart. All bearded dragons were housed in pairs or a trio in a
small
cage (24X28) during the 6 month period. All bearded dragons had greens
in their cage at all times, and they were fed gutloaded crickets 2-4
times
daily. One feeding per day was dusted with Repcal, and once weekly we
used
Herptivite. We also offered the appropriate size mealwworms at least a
few times a week to our bearded dragons. Temperture was kept at 110-115
at the highest part of the basking area. Ambiant cage temperture was
about
85. Nighttime temperture was about 70-75 with no heat source on at
night.
Lights/heat was kept on for 14 hours a day.Also it is important to
note,
during the 6 month period there was fluorescent lighting used , but no
uvb.
** The fluorescent lighting we use is ReptiSun 5.0 - BUT in the
beginning our cages were 24 inches high and therefore the bulbs UVB
output dissipated before reaching the basking area. Silly us, we didnt
know back in '98 that the bulbs had to be much, much closer to the
animals to be an effective UVB source.
