Care Guide

The bearded dragon is a fun, curious, and spunky lizard full of personality and a very popular first reptile pet. They originate from central and eastern Australia. While there are several varieties in the species, the two most popular are Pagona Barbata(eastern) and Pagona Vitticeps(central). Bearded dragons have a few personality quirks that make them entertaining to watch and interact with. They will bob their heads to assert dominance and will waive their arms to show submission and fear. Bearded Dragons also often give the classic ‘judgment eye’ while observing their surroundings. You might observe your bearded dragon cocking their head to the side when they are trying to figure you out. This lizard is very curious about its human owners and strives to understand our strange behavior. Once they are provided the correct lights and husbandry, necessary for their longevity and health, the bearded dragon is a relatively easy-to-care-for pet.

How to Keep your Dragon

Enrichment

Bearded Dragons are spunky creatures who need things to do to occupy their minds and body. Weather you give them time to run around your living room, or take them outside on adventures, or let them play with treat balls to catch their bugs, or provide them with a dig box to play in, your bearded dragon needs something to do. 

Maintaining the Health of your Dragon

It is very important to find an exotic vet near you, and bring your bearded dragon in for yearly visits.
