Bearded Dragons originate from Australia. Their name comes from the pouch under the neck which can be inflated if they feel threatened. Colours vary from browns, greys, to green, gold, orange and red. They are a rock dwelling lizard and love to climb and bask in the sun.
Adults can reach sizes up to 45 - 60 cm in lengths. Adult males can be territorial and should not normally be kept together. The average life span is 7 - 10 years but not infrequently longer. |

Bearded Dragons are usually very docile and rarely bite. The spines along their sides are soft unless the body is inflated in defence when frightened. Movements should be slow, gentle but confident. To pick up your Bearded Dragon place one hand above the shoulders and support the underside with the other hand.
An escape proof vivarium with good ventilation is the most suitable housing for a Bearded Dragon. The minimum cage size for an adult should be 90 x 45 x 45 and preferably larger. |

All reptiles are cold blooded and need an external heat source to maintain their body temperature. Bearded Dragons are diurnal lizards and require high intensity UVB lighting to fully absor and utilize the calcium in their diet. This light should be left on for 12 - 14 hours in the day. Bearded Dragons, being desert species, require low humidity and good ventilation.
Bearded Dragons are omnivores and become more vegetarian as they get older. They will eat a varied diet of live insects, fruits and vegetables.Young Bearded Dragons should be fed insects up to 3 times a day with a quarter of their diet made up of fruit and vegetables. Adults should be fed 4 - 5 times a week with at least half their diets made up of fruit and vegetables. |
