These are my two dragons I got them same time same size but one has doubled in size in the last 2 months the other only 1/4 inch.

Can anyone tell what type of bearded dragons they are?

Why ones growing the other barely anything?

I don't know what types of dragons they are or why one would be smaller but looking at your picture, the smaller one on the bottom looks dehydrated, I've read a lot on here and one thing I've read is that their skin will crease up like that when they are dehydrated. Do you ever see it drink? I usually have to put my beardie in hus water dish and drop water drops onto his nose down his chin to get him to drink. If he's thirsty he'll drink the drops then realize the water is there. Now that he's older and eats a lot of salad mixes I just make sure to spray the salad with water to get it wet. Also if you're keeping them together in the same enclosure that might have an impact also.

Yea it drinks water and eats more then I think it's stomach should be able to hold.
They are also separate I had them together but shortly after I got them the bigger ones faster growth worried me so I separated them but that was like 1 1/2 months ago.

I let them interact daily (under-supervision) and they really like being together and the big one never shows any aggression.

Your smaller one could be a rankins dragon however I wouldn't let them be together even for a short while they do not have feelings and are solitary animals.

I'm asking to figure out if they are both central dragons or if one is a rankin.

They may normally be solitary but mine seem happier when they can spend time together everyday. They both eat less and hide away when they have not spent time in the same tank for a couple days.

They will sulk as dragons don't like change but believe me it takes seconds for one to hurt the other and it's just not worth it. They will adjust but one will always dominate the other. Please don't take the risk.

I have seen found some info that the different species of dragons have different head shapes from each other I just wanna know if they are both central bearded dragons or if one or both are some of the other types.

Please no more suggestions how I care for them. Neither have ever showed any type of aggression toward the other and I watch them together very closely. I separated them in the beginning thinking it was a case where the bigger one was eating more then the small one or intimidating the smaller one but then they stopped eating and started up again when I started doing the social time have been doing it for a month they have gotten used to it being part of the daily routine not changing it.

Very interesting, I'm no expert but if it's eating/drinking, acting normal, not loosing weight it is quite possible it is a Rankins. Head shape looks right. Have you had fecals done to make sure it's healthy? You are going to be the best judge of how they are doing while together.

What do you mean they do not have feelings? Bayne sure has feelings! Two seconds in the same room with him and you can tell that! He's very attached to me and always keeps a close watch on me. He accidentally bit me once while he was eating and he pouted about it for days and refused to be hand fed for a month....Sure seems like he has a butt load of feelings to me...
