What about beared dragons2007-11-24 2:03:00

These gentle beasts are from Australia but are now readily available due to their willingness to breed in captivity. Bearded Dragons make a wonderful pet for both beginners and advanced reptile keepers. Due to their docile nature and relative small size (usually 16-20 inches) they have become quite popular in recent years. These beautiful creatures are highly recommended for families with small children also due to their seeming love for attention.

Working at a pet store that deals with many types of lizards I have come to think of the bearded dragon as my favorite. So, in that vein I'll answer as many questions as I can.

Food: Beardies are carnivores and need to have crickets and mealworms for food. Occasionally you could also feed them a pinkie mouse (if your dragon is big enough) and offer them a leafy green lettuce, like Romaine.

Shelter: You can offer your dragon a number of lizard styled rock hideouts, you can find these at your local pet store.

Cage: Beardies need about a 40 Gallon Breeder tank, this size tank would be big enough for two adult dragons. Just never put a baby beardie in with an adult, because the adult will think the baby is a snack. Also don't forget that beardies need a heat lamps, one that produces both UVA and UVB light is needed. The set up for a beardie isn't cheap, but for the health of your pet it's essential to do it right.
