We purchased this bearded dragon from a local pet store. As I have researching proper care for him, I have noticed that he may in fact be a Rankins dragon. I am just curious as to what he is so we can provide proper care and housing for him. Thank you.

It is difficult to say for sure what type of dragon you may have. If this is a baby then it very well could just be a bearded dragon. Rankin dragons are usually smaller when they are fully grown that a bearded dragon. I would buy an enclosure big enough for a bearded dragon to be safe. Also, I would feed and treat it as if it is a bearded dragon. It is going to be less likely that you got a Rankin dragon from a local pet store. From my understanding, you have to seek out a Rankin dragon breeder to be sure you are getting this type of dragon. I hope this helps!
