Perhaps the most popular pet lizard, bearded dragons are originally from the deserts of central Australia. "Bearded" refers to the extendable flap of skin under their chin that turns black when they are stressed, displaying dominance or being territorial. They are usually even-tempered, docile, easy to tame, bond closely with their caretakers and are generally hardy when cared for properly.

A bearded dragon's skin is very rough and may cause scratches if handled improperly. However, once acclimated, this reptile will become more docile and easy to handle. Wearing light gloves or long sleeved clothing when handling the beardie will help prevent minor cuts and scrapes. You should also keep in mind that all reptiles are vulnerable to Salmonella bacteria, which can cause severe illness if not treated.

Bearded Dragon Tank Setup Bearded dragons need a clean and dry environment. To help keep your beardie happy and healthy, place the tank in a room that is cooled and not too humid. A room that has a door is also ideal. Also, try not to keep a dehumidifier running in the same room as your beardie. This can disturb the beardie's sleep.

Another good food for bearded dragons is apples. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, but do not make them larger than the space between your dragon's eyes. Apples contain a good balance of calcium and phosphorus, but they're lacking in Vitamins A and D.
