Common Bearded Dragon Facts You Should Know About by:Todd Miller

When it comes to these unique lizards, most don't have any idea about the facts on bearded dragons at all

. These amazing lizards are very popular today from the very young to the older owners. They are docile and fun to watch.

You should know your bearded dragon facts before you get one. Knowing just what kind of reptile they are and what their natural environment is can make all the difference in their health and happiness.

Here are some common bearded dragon facts:

They are raised in the sandy areas of Australia

They enjoy basking under their lights or even better outside with natural sunlight

They are more vegetarian than they are meat eaters.

They love interacting with their human owners.

It is easy to care for them, once you understand them.

They are just plain fun to watch and interact with.

These lizards are unique in their own way, each has their own personality and characteristics about them which makes them very fun to be around.

They need a long glass enclosure, so they can see what is going on around them. They do not like to be hidden away.

They love fruits and vegetables, but they also need insects such as crickets, meal worms, and pinkies once in a while.

The bearded dragon is very friendly and will usually almost never bite. I have had beardies now for over 5 years and never have one of them bitten me without due cause. If they are frightened or startled they may latch out by biting. But normally they first will puff up their bearded and turn black before every bitting.

Bearded dragons are more bluffers than they are fighters. They will look and act mean, when in reality they are very docile and quite. It is always a good idea when approaching a beardie to make sure he/she knows you are there, do not ever just grab one, this will definitely scare them and they could bite at you.

In the wild beardies use the puffing of their beards to make themselves look much bigger and meaner than what they really are. This helps their predators feel intimated and not attack them.

They are natural hunters and enjoy hunting for their prey. This is why giving them such things as crickets is good. It keeps their natural hunting abilities up.

Knowing these bearded dragon facts can definitely help you have a much happier and healthier beardie for many years to come.
