Bearded Dragons

The Inland Bearded Dragon (Pogona Vitticeps) is one of the most popular lizard species currently kept by people as a pet, and for good reason. They are exceptionally well mannered, have a character which some would even describe as "dog-like", and are relatively low maintenance and affordable to keep as a pet. They are incredibly interesting to observe and some of their behaviours are really quite hilarious! In this review, I will attempt to provide information on the basics of keeping one of these Lizards as a pet, and also provide some tips from my own experience with them. BIOLOGY AND GENERAL INFORMATION There are several different ...  Read the complete review

We have a bearded dragon, or "beardie", as they are known. His name is... Alexander William Henry VIII, and he is nearly 2 years old. They are incredibly easy to take care of, providing you have access to the right kind of meat (crickets or worms) and have a good heat source. There is all sorts of information on the web about how to care for them, so I'll just provide a summary of what it has been like for us to care for one. This is more a review of *our* little dinosaur! - Temperament They are gentle lizards if raised with kind humans from a young age. They can be extensively handled, and you can have hours of fun trying to communicate ...  Read the complete review

It never entered my head to be honest to ever get a bearded dragon. I have had a water dragon in the past but never really appealed to me to get another reptile. My mum bought by brother one a few months back and she was shocked to how big the tank was and decided that she had no room for it. She then practically made me have him so I had to rearrange the whole of my living room to accommodate him. I must admit I have fell in love with him now. They usually retail for about £75 and you can get a decent tank for about £100. I have found out that normal pet stores refuse to sell reptile food etc as they do not think it is right to keep them. He is so ...  Read the complete review

Bearded dragons make great first reptile pets for the inexperienced owner. We had our beardie, Barney, for 3 years until we had to make space for our baby new arrival so we gave him to our friend much to our sadness. We had him from a newborn and as we were inexperienced owners ourselves we did a lot of research on them to make sure we could give him the best possible care. The beardie needs at least a 4 foot vivarium, most of them are made from wood with a glass front - we made our own. A heat lamp and UV tube, thermometer to regulate the temp. These items are to enable the dragon to digest its food through heat (they originate from Australia so ...  Read the complete review

Bearded dragons are the dog of the reptile world, they are very good with being handled and and very rarely bite, you would seriously have to piss one off to get it to bite you which is hard to do so they make good pets for children. they are easy to look after although by no means are they the easiest lizard to keep. they need specific heating and feeding requirements to keep them healthy. they need a 4 foot long tank minimum as an adult, as a baby, a 2 foot tank will be good but it is best to get it a full 4 foot one and section it off as it will save you money in the long run. most people use wooden viv's for beardies although you can get some plastic ones but ...  Read the complete review
