Reptiles make great pets for those with the proper mindset, and Bearded Dragons are among the most popular of those reptile pets. They are sturdy, just small enough, and eat simple, variant diets. With a lifespan of up to fifteen years, they can be a good long term pet, but only with the proper care and attention to the lifestyle and necessities of their diets.
Why is my female bearded dragon being dominant over the male?
the male tries, he really does, he turns his beard black and head bobs but I think my female, and yes it is a female for sure, is trying to dominate HIM I have put them near each other several times and he is now starting to arm wave while head bobbing, I am hoping to breed in the future and I don’t want him to be scared of the girl, She is 2 and a half and the male is 1. she is larger, in all ways, the only thing is the male is a inch longer but he is about 3/4 her size, does she know that he is smaller? or does she just not want to mate?
Oh I am very sorry I forgot to add that, no they do not live together, I am pretty experienced with bearded dragons but I wanted someone else’s imput, They only go near each other when holding both, friends over wanting to see, giving them a bath, or if I clean their tank they are good on staying put but now the female is trying to dominate the male.
my beardie sleeps standing up in a corner, is this normal?
I just got my first Bearded Dragon today.. I do own other reptiles [leopard geckos] But this is my first time owning a beardie. Surprised me how much more docile he is than my leos.
If you can give me info, i would really appreciate it. Ive already checked out a few care sheets & different sites.
The Bearded Dragon, also known as the Lizard of Oz, is an enormously popular pet from down under. It is estimated that in 1998, 100,000 Bearded Dragons will be purchased by reptile enthusiasts in the United States. A docile animal, Beardeds are relatively easy to keep in captivity–but they do need special care–all of which will be included in this excellent source for the beginning Bearded Dragon fan.

Is it common for a Bearded Dragon to fall asleep on my hand/arm?
I just recently purchased my first beardie, and i have noticed that when i hold him…he will sometimes fall asleep on my arm..he seems to like to get in the crook of where my arm and torso sit together. Is this normal behavior?
perfectly fine – just don’t let them get too cold as this could also be a reason for appearing to be asleep.
My dragons love to sleep on my arm, its nice and warm and if they are held and supported properly then they are very happy and obviously they trust you. Well done
do they like to be held do they bite are they hard to take care of are they cool pets do they make good pets for reptile beginners do they just and hang around and are males or females more calm
Great pets.
The nicest ones we had at the petstore I worked in.
All of them were very chill from the moment they arrived as babies.
i am building a reptile condo for my beardy, red tail boa, and leopards geckos, the red tails is on the bottom with out a wired top but it has peg board in the back for circulation. it is6ft long,2feet tall and 2 feet wide. the bearded dragons is on top and is 4 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. there are two leos and i am putting them in the top right of the condo with a 2feet by 2feet by 2feet cage. both the beardy and the leos have a chicken wire top and a pegboard back to keep humidity relatively low. tell me what you think!
