The Bearded Dragon is a popular pet lizard native to Australia. Known for its distinctive beard-like throat pouch, it can change color based on mood and temperature. These reptiles typically grow to about 18 to 24 inches in length and have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years with proper care. Bearded Dragons are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and insects. In captivity, they thrive on a diet of leafy greens, vegetables, and protein sources like crickets and mealworms. They require a warm habitat with UVB lighting to support their health and well-being.
