Age

At what 'age' does a beardie become a juvenile? My Spike is about 3 months old and I am guessing. I gave him my birthday January 25th....

I have never really run into a set definition of what you are asking, the ones I do run into, vary greatly, but this is how I figure it.

Hatchling: Hatch - 2 months
Juvenile: 2- 7 months
Subadult: 7 months to sexual maturity (Varies from Dragon to Dragon [Give or take ~~ approximately at 9-12 months] & Females generally reach sexual maturity later than Males)
Adult: Sexual maturity - 4 yrs
Mature Adult: 4 yrs & up

I would go later than that for a juvenile... but then again, most people don't add the sub adult so it does get confusing for me talking from person to person.

Yup, there are so many different views, some by size, some by age, etc, etc.

Some say 6 life stages & use a combination of size & age.

I don't consider half of mine, that are keeping me now, to be 'Old Age' , 'Middle Aged' maybe .

Then others are more simplified ...
