Quick Facts About Bearded Dragons

Here are some of the most interesting things every dragon owner (and fan) should know.

Native to Australia

Bearded Dragons come from the arid deserts and woodlands of Australia, where they thrive in hot, dry climates.

They Wave and Bob

Head-bobbing is a sign of dominance, while arm-waving is often a sign of submission or friendliness.

Beard Displays

They puff out their “beard” and darken it when threatened or showing off, especially males.

Excellent Climbers

Despite being ground-dwellers, they love climbing rocks, branches, and logs to bask closer to heat and light.

Omnivorous Diet

Bearded Dragons eat both plants and insects. Juveniles lean towards protein-heavy diets, while adults eat mostly greens.

Long Lifespan

With proper care, they can live 10–15 years in captivity, making them a long-term companion.

Every Bearded Dragon has its own personality—making them one of the most unique reptile pets.
