New owner of a Bearded Dragon

[Jeebs24]

Hello, I'm new a proud owner of a Bearded Dragon. I wanted one after seeing a picture from a co-worker. So I went around different pet shops (and reptile shops) asking about pricing for everything and what it takes to care for one. I went to a Reptile Expo and found my little guy and was very happy. ;D I was so excited about getting one that I forgot to ask the breeder what sex and age it was. I read it's not possible to determine sex until it's an adult but what about age? It's 6" long including tail.

Welcome aboard,
If your pooper is about 6 inched you are looking in the 5 to 6 week old range give or take a week.
Remember #1 rule of any forum.
Pics or it didnt happen...lol

i agree with tom you are in the 4 weeks to 6 weeks range.
as far as sex it is hard for an untrained eye to give a good guess at sex before about 3 months old.

I finally took a picture of my beardie (after getting my new iPhone that had better camera). ;D

Here is he. I'm pretty sure it's a he. I named him Gollum. I'm a big LOTR fan.

Gollum is very cute! Now you will have to get more babies, and name them: Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn! LOL (I've been a Tolken fan for many, many years!)
