Bearded dragons are a type of ancient lizard, originally from the deserts of central Australia. "Bearded" refers to a flap of skin under the chin that they extend when disturbed. They are usually even-tempered and seem to tolerate human interaction.

What native Australian plants can bearded dragons eat
My bearded dragon wa so nice when i bought him but all of sudden i can get close to him without him puffing up at me at running
What are some of the best staple feeders to give a baby, juvenile and adult bearded dragon?
Hi! We recently got a juvenile bearded dragon and I just want to make sure i’m doing enough for them. unsure of age or sex. Attached are photos of the dimensions of their enclosure, as well as the description of the bulb we are using. I leave a bowl of water in her enclosure as well as let her soak once a week (the water is conditioned with repti-safe). we feed her crickets daily and she always has a bowl of fresh veg available. (ALL food dusted with calcium/vitamin D3 supplement)
Our 5 year old Bearded Dragon seems sick. We’ve had him since birth. He’s always loved to eat meal worms crickets and greens. He’s very picky on the greens we’ve never been able to get him to eat any other fruits or veggies. Few months ago he started glass surfing a lot and acting strange (i.e. darkened beard, bobbing his head) then about 10 days ago, he started acting “lazy” and stopped eating. I can’t take him to a vet as I’m a teacher on summer break and haven’t had a paycheck in 2 months.
Bearded Dragons tail and neck has turned black today. He has become very lethargic and will not move from his corner. He is not usually a fan of being handled or touched as he is still young however he will not bat an eye while we touch him. He is just not himself
what size cage does an adult bearded dragon need? what substrate should I use? is bioactivity possible with bearded dragons?
Recently our bearded dragons stomach has gotten very big. She seems to any okay haven't noticed any discoloration change in activity etc. Is this common for dragons or could she be ready to lay eggs? There's no male or other dragon with her in her enclosure.
my dragon beared not moving
Is my baby bearded dragon overweight or just growing? He has a balanced diet but recently his middle area looks bloated slightly. His behavior hasn't changed, he is still active and moves around a lot.
I have a bearded dragon that’s about 5 months old that hasn’t grown and appears blind. She closes her eyes often and walks into things. She eats about 6-8 crickets a day and some greens, both pretty vigorously. She doesn’t have diarrhea and seems otherwise healthy. She has a sweet temperament and loves to be handled. Any ideas what the issue could be? Our other 3 dragons are doing great. Thanks!
Hello, i have a roughly 4 month old bearded dragon, named terra. I noticed she has a dark spot on the lip on oneside. It does not seem to have grown at all. She eat well and moved around in her tank amd is handled and allowed to run around and explore which she does. Her basking area is between 100 to 110. Depends on where she chooses to lay on her rock. But anyways. I scrubbed her gently around the lip and a little but liften off cause the was a slight greyish thing came off a bit.
