Bearded Dragons are some of the most personable reptiles you will find today! They make great pets for both old and young, experienced and new herpers alike. They are very docile and even enjoy being handled and loved on.

Bearded Dragons have been rated “The best reptile to own as pets” by Reptile Magazine.

Due to their small size, great personalities, and relative ease of care, Bearded Dragons are one of the most popular and highly recommended species for anyone who’s new to keeping reptiles.

Bearded Dragons can make a good pet to anyone suffering from asthma or allergies where keeping dogs, cats, or birds may not be possible. Be sure to consult with your doctor first if you are currently under one’s care. Some types substrates are capable of producing a fine dust so anyone with respiratory problems should avoid these and consider using a reptile carpet.

Bearded Dragons are a social species and can often be kept in groups consisting of one male and 5 or more females where cage size isn’t an issue. Because of their wide range of social and behavioral interactions with each other, Bearded Dragons are the perfect species for housing in groups. In fact, many of their characteristic arm waves, beard displays, and head-bobs are rarely seen in dragons that are caged alone.

Unlike many lizard species, egg binding is seldom a problem with female Bearded Dragons being kept alone. This is reassuring considering that many dragons are sold before they are old enough to accurately sex.
