Rankin's dragon

[Stitchex]

They look interesting, I'm just doing research on random reptiles right now.What's their natural habitat, how big do they get, how docile are they? Any pics?

They are kept the same as bearded dragons. Just smaller versions I would think.

Or I do think sorry.. I also know there is something about them not having a beard. I've also read that most Rankin's/lawson dragons are not pure. And they are quite expensive and rare from what I've seen because I wanted a dragon! But I didn't want the size.

They are smaller then beardies, usually 12-14", and somewhat kept like beardies, they dont need to be kept so hot. Here is one of the better care sheets IMO, only thing I differ with it is the playsand, I personally would keep them on a particle free substrate like paper towels, reptile carpet, slate, tile

They are very docile. A friend of mine has a 2 year beardie/rankin cross, and she is very small. She is kept in a 20 long.

Cool, thanks all! What about these temps, are they good? Hot side- up to 102. Cool side- up to 87

I was looking on a website, and I called them about their Bearded dragons, as these are on sale because of "stunted growth." Apparently, these bearded dragons only grow to be about a foot long. Should I trust their judgment? The beardeds are hatchlings right now.

I would recommend you get more info, especially how old/big are they now and how do they know they won't reach full size. You could also put a "wanted" ad on geckosunlimited because I think someone on there had posted about some Rankins dragons he'd hatched recently.

They said that they are only babies, and about 6 inches or a little smaller.
