Okay I like large, but I like largest most. Lets find out the largest of each species of the fortold animals. I'll start off.

Brearded dragon: I'm taking off from what I have gathered, but (correct me if I'm wrong) I think the German Giant Bearded Dragon, is the largest of the bearded dragon species.

Now I want someone to tell me the largest species of... Gecko? Then wait for farther instructions. :cool:
 
The Rhacodactylus leachianus of course.

The German giant is not a species by itself its a hibrid made in captivity bethween the inland bearded dragon and the coastal bearded dragon. This is not however 50/50 for each because the german giants nowadays have been bred back with the inland bearded dragon ,still however displaying its large size, wich is usefull for making biger dragons with brigter colors. In this case I think that the biggest bearded dragon its the coastal bearded dragon(Pongona barbata)

That is the bigest species alive today, however if you return 100 years back in time youll be able to still find the lengedary Newzeland giant gecko a species 2 times the size of leachys
 
Very nice, okay so far we got

Bearded dragon: Coastal bearded dragon (Pongona barbata)

Gecko: Leachie gecko (Rhacodactylus leachianus)

Good job adding the pic, and Coura I believe you that the Newzeland giant gecko is the truely the largest species, but I mean species that are avalible to the pet trade.

Now, I want someone to tell me the largest species of... cameleon. Then again wait for farther instructions. :cool:
 
Largest chameleon - probably a tie between the Oustalets and the Parson's

...and just save some time...

Largest varanid - Komodo dragon
Largest crocodilian - eustarine (saltwater) crocodile
Largest viper - Bushmaster
Largest cobra - King cobra
Largest boa - green anaconda
Largest python - reticulated python

...those are all I know off the top of my head.
 
Whao, whao, whao, let others have a chance. Okay so far we got...

Beaed dragordn: Coastal bearded dragon (Pongona barbata)

Gecko: Leachie gecko (Rhacodactylus leachianus)

Cameleon: Oustalet's Chameleon (Furcifer oustaleti) and Parsons Chameleon (Chamaeleo parsonii). Which one gets larger?

Varanid: Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis). But is the Komodo availible to the pet trade? :naughty:

Boa: Green anaconda (Eunectes murinus)

Python: Reticulated python (Python reticulatus)

Now Someone tell me the largest... Semi-aquatic turtle is?
 
Pogona barbata is not the german giant.... german giants are vitticeps
 
Amazon giant river turtle gotta find the scientific name though
