21. Australia: Bearded Dragon bearded dragons are omnivorous and consume many types of insects, This defensive display has earned these lizards the common name of bearded dragon . http://www.oaklandzoo.org/atoz/azdragon.html

Bearded Dragon ORDER: Squamata FAMILY: Agamidae GENUS: Pogona SPECIES: vitticeps I. DESCRIPTION: This unusual mid-sized stocky agamid lizard has prominent spines along its sides and a large, essentially triangle-shaped head. Forming a sort of shield around the snout is a spiney jaw pouch which, when swollen, looks like a beard and makes any predator think twice before attacking. This wide-ranging species shows considerable geographic variation; its basic color varies from shades of brown, gray, and reddish-brown to bright orange. The ventral surface ranges from pale to dark gray, with white elongated spots edged with black. Mature males have dark "beards" which become black during courtship and breeding. Adults can grow as large as ten inches in body length or two feet in total length, including the tail. Males are larger than females. II. GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE AND HABITAT: These lizards are native to Central Australia. They prefer semi-arid to arid woodland habitats. Time is spent both on the ground and in trees. They may be found perched on bush branches and even on fence posts. III. DIET:

SORRY, THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION - SHOULD BE DONE BY 11/18/99 Bearded dragons are fairly easy reptiles to care for, relatively speaking. They readily eat foods that are easy to obtain; they can tolerate a pretty wide range of temperatures, and their more common medical problems are treatable by many veteranarians. However, for a bearded dragon to really thrive, they need the right environment and a well-considered diet. These care tips are meant to share some of the most important dragon care items that we've learned from experience, from books, and from web sites. They are not a complete guide to bearded dragon care; more comprehensive care information is available from Melissa Kaplan: Dragons Down Under and from General Bearded Dragon Care A very important point for beginner reptile owners: get care information before you buy your reptile and bring it home.

Picking Out a Bearded Dragon Housing and Lighting Feeding and Diet Behavior and Handling ... More Care Sheets Picking a Bearded Dragon It is important to select a healthy, well-adjusted young dragon. Usually, it is best to get a very young dragon so that you can have the fun of watching it grow, and so that you can get it used to people and handling. Buying a lizard mail-order, sight unseen, is pretty chancy, and should be avoided.

Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care Collection Last updated August 18, 2004 Dragons Down Under: The Inland Bearded Dragon "Oh! A horned toad! I haven't seen one of those in years!" is a comment I often hear when event-goers see my bearded dragon. To me, the resemblance is superficial: the flattened body liberally supplied with sharp-looking spikes of various sizes. The head shape is very different, however, with the bearded dragon's being bluntly triangular as opposed to the slightly rounded head shape of the horned toad (whose proper name is horned lizard, Phrynosoma sp.) which is also furnished with longer spikes protruding from the back of the skull. The horned lizards are native to the American Southwest while the bearded dragons are native to Australia and New Guinea. Australia is home to a number of dragons, a name given to many of their agamid lizards which include the popular bearded dragons and water dragons. Australia has very restrictive export laws relating to its wildlife; thus, the bearded dragons found in the U.S. pet trade are descendants from founder animals imported from Europe. Bearded dragons are gaining popularity as pets. Wonderfully tempered, intriguing in appearance, quizzical in countenance, these lizards do not get very large (especially in relation to the green iguana), and require little in the nature of active training or taming to make them calm and handleable. As with all reptiles, there are important things to know before buying a bearded, and to keep them healthy and long-lived.

postionList = "x21,x24,TopLeft,Top3,x29,x12"; OAS_RICH("TopLeft"); More Information Reptile Guide Main Bearded Dragons originate in Australia. The most common species in the pet industry is the Inland Bearded Dragon, Pogona vitticeps, which was formerly called Amphibolurus vitticeps. The Inland Bearded Dragon is sometimes referred to as the Central, or Yellow-headed Bearded Dragon. Other members of the Pogona genus include: Pogona barbata P. henrylawsoni P. minima P. minor P. mitchelli P. nullarbor P. microlepitoda Natural Environment The Inland Bearded Dragon lives in the arid woodlands and deserts of central Australia. It spends much of its waking hours in bushes and trees, and is also found basking on rocks. When it is extremely hot, the bearded dragon will burrow underground. The bearded dragon is diurnal and an omnivore. It forages for food such as insects, small lizards and mammals, fruit, flowers, and other plant material during the day time. Physical Characteristics The Bearded Dragon is tan to yellow in color. It is called "bearded" because of the dragon's ability to flare out the skin in the throat region when it is threatened or territorial. Its body has a flattened appearance, which becomes even more pronounced if the dragon is alarmed. There are spines on the throat, sides of the head, and sides of the body. The head is wedge-shaped, and the Bearded Dragon has a tail that is almost as long as the body. It is difficult to distinguish males from females among hatchlings and juveniles. When they become adults, sexual differences become more apparent. The males generally have larger heads and larger, darker beards. The femoral pores of males also help to distinguish them from females.

postionList = "x21,x24,TopLeft,Top3,x29,x12"; OAS_RICH("TopLeft"); More Information Reptile Guide Main cont'd If You Have More Than One Reptiles are territorial and may fight when caged together. A male and female Bearded Dragon can generally be kept together, however, the male may become too aggressive during the breeding season and have to be removed. Larger Bearded Dragons may keep smaller cage mates away from food and heat sources, and may even see them as an appetizer. If housing Bearded Dragons together, a larger cage will decrease the possibility of aggression; nevertheless, monitor the Dragons closely. Temperament and Handling Bearded Dragons tend to be mellow and docile, even in the wild. Although hatchlings and juveniles may be skittish, the adults will often appear to enjoy human company, making Bearded Dragons one of the better reptilian pets. Bearded Dragons tend to be curious, and will enjoy exploring, so if you can, provide a safe, larger enclosure. To pick up a Bearded Dragon, place your hand under its abdomen and gently scoop it up. As the dragon lays on your palm, gently curve your fingers around its abdomen. Behavior and Body Language To better relate to your Bearded Dragon, you need to understand what various behaviors and body positions mean. During breeding season, to display dominance, or if startled or threatened, a dragon may puff out its beard. Both males and females will display this behavior. To appear even more menacing, the Bearded Dragon may also "gape," or open his mouth very wide. This can certainly make him look more aggressive, since his mouth is quite large. Another way Dragons show dominance, is to bob their heads. To show submission, a dragon will hold up one front leg and may slowly wave it.

back Inland Bearded Dragon Pogona vitticeps Classification and Range Bearded dragons belong to the Old World family of lizards, Agamidae. Together they are members of the genus Pogona , a group of terrestrial and semiarboreal lizards found throughout most parts of Australia and New Guinea. There are seven species of bearded dragons: inland or central ( Pogona vitticeps ), common ( Pogona barbata Pogona microlepidota ) [no common name], western ( Pogona minima ), dwarf ( Pogona minor ), northwest ( Pogona mitchelli ) and Nullarbor ( Pogona nullarbor ). They range through nearly all of Australia except the extreme north. Habitat Length and Weight Inland bearded dragons average 18-22 inches (46-56 cm) from snout to tip of tail. Average weight is about 10-18 ounces (283-510 gr). Males are generally larger than females. Although smaller in overall size, however, females are more stockier than males. Life Span Estimated 4-10 years Diet In the wild: Inland bearded dragons are omnivorous, and eat a variety of animal and plant materials. These include insects and other small animals they can overpower, plus occasionally fruits, leaves and flowers.

SUNDIAL REPTILE Quality Herpetoculture by Bearded Dragon care sheet (new section on hatchling care included) Housing: Substrate/cage d e cor: Lighting/heating: Bearded dragons like it HOT! The key to heating your enclosure is providing a temperature gradient from a hot basking zone, to a cooler area. Basking temps should reach well over 100 degrees F. The cooler zone should be around 85 degrees. The brighter the light, the better. Dragons thrive under a good full spectrum UV source. We recommend active UV/heat or mercury vapor bulbs. These bulbs work double time to give your dragon quality UV and producing heat at the same time. You may also use fluorescent UV full spectrum tubes, although they do not produce the same UV quality. The colors and health of your lizard depend on good heat, bright light and UV. Your dragon will also benefit from natural sunlight and we recommend bringing your lizard outside in an outdoor basking enclosure. However the more natural sunlight you expose them to, the less supplements you should give, especially vitamin D3 (this may also be the case when using the active UV/heat bulbs). We also think that younger dragons may become stressed when taken outside, and therefore suggest holding off on outdoor excursions until your dragon is older . Sexing: Sexing dragons, especially young dragons, takes a lot of trial and effort. We personally feel it is not possible to 100% guarantee sex on young dragons. However there are differences between male and female dragons. Generally the male has a larger head, wider tail base, larger pores, and most noticeably, hemipenal bulges. Young male dragons have two bulges, with a slight space between them just behind the vent. Lifting the tail and twisting gently may allow for the hemipenal bulges to appear more pronounced. Females generally have one central or no bulges where the hemipenes would be. However its not uncommon for what is thought to be a female, to turn out to be an undeveloped (at the time of sexing) male, and vice versa.

Care and Feeding of Iguanas By Christine Hancock Bearded Dragons and Uromastyx The bearded dragon and the uromastyx are recognized as wonderful pets due to their calm, easy to handle, domestic nature. Full grown, these lizards reach approximately one foot, making them a moderate and reasonable size. Both the bearded dragon and the uromastyx are colorful, and can be extremely impressive in a uniquely designed vivarium. These easy to care for animals are becoming one of the top selling lizards in today’s reptile trade. These reptiles are generally ground or rock dwellers, and dig deep tunnels in the wild. Long hot days and nights are spent keeping cool in these tunnels. Some of these reptiles like to climb, and bask in the sunlight on top of branches, fence posts, large rocks and wood. Diet Bearded dragons and uromastyx eat both plant products and insects. Juvenile lizards should be fed crickets, mealworms, wax worms and other various insects at least 3-4 times weekly. Most juvenile lizards favor insects over plant matter. Adult diets include 60-75% of leafy greens, such as mustard greens, collard greens, kale, endive, and spinach. Twenty-five to 40 percent of the plant diet consists of frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, lima beans), grated carrots, squash, or other such vegetables. Adults should be offered fresh plant matter daily and live foods every 7-10 days. Bearded dragons and uromastyx obtain most of their water intake through the plant products they obtain. It is a good idea to mist them off daily, several times a day for juvenile’s, and soak them weekly. To soak these reptiles, place them in a shallow bowl of lukewarm water for about ten minutes. If you decide to leave a water bowl in the lizard’s cage, be sure to clean it well every few days to prevent bacterial and fungal growth.

- make selection- Birds Ferrets Lizards Rabbits Small Mammals Snakes Turtles/Tortoises Bearded Dragon Husbandry HOUSING Bearded dragons can be housed singly, in breeding pairs, or in groups with one male and two or more Females. Provide a terrarium size of at least 72 inches long by 16 inches wide by 17 inches high for a single adult dragon. A minimum of eight square feet is needed for up to three adults with another four square feet for each additional dragon. A minimum of 10-20 gallon aquarium is necessary for juveniles. It is recommended that juveniles be housed singly, but small groups of similar sized juveniles can be placed together if ample food is provided and if the smaller ones are separated out if they are not thriving. Newspaper or paper pulp material is recommended as a substrate as it is easily cleaned and will not cause gastrointestinal problems if eaten. Play sand (no finer than #30) or decomposed granite can also be used but, is not recommended as sand ingestion may cause problems and sand is difficult to keep clean.
