The scientific name for this genus is 'Pogona' and they are also colloquially referred to as 'beardies.' The lizards within the genus gained the name 'bearded dragon' due to the extraordinary 'beard' located on the underside of the lizard's throat. In the wild bearded dragons can commonly be found basking on rocks or on the branches of trees due to the species adept ability to climb. They are found throughout Australia in a wide range of habitats ranging from deserts to shrubland and woodlands. Due to their hardy nature and interesting appearance bearded dragons have become a very popular pet and are fairly easy to care for in comparison to other exotic lizard species.

As the reptile-keeping hobby has grown, keepers and breeders have sought species that thrive best in the captive habitat. Bearded Dragons are one of the best examples of this. Beautiful, tame and interesting, bearded dragons certainly draw a considerable amount of interest from reptile enthusiasts, but it is their moderate size, hardy nature and generalist feeding habits that make them so well-suited for captivity. However, bearded dragons do require habitats and husbandry regimens that satisfy their needs. Accordingly, it is imperative that would-be bearded dragon keepers learn as much as possible about these remarkable lizards, to ensure their pet enjoys the highest quality of life possible. The author, Ben Team, is an environmental educator and author with over 16 years of professional reptile-keeping experience. Ben currently maintains www.FootstepsInTheForest.com, where he shares information, narration and observations of the natural world.

Going against the common misconception that lizards as pets are distant and aloof, bearded dragons are friendly and love being handled-in fact, in most respects, bearded dragons aren't your typical lizard. Hardy, sociable, and relatively low-maintenance, they're a fabulous pet for a first-time lizard owner, and can give you up to a decade of loving companionship. Whether you're living alone in an apartment or have a household full of children and other pets, a bearded dragon will quickly become a part of your family once you bring it home. But how can you tell if a bearded dragon is the right animal for you? And once you get one-how do you care for it? This book will answer those questions and more, giving you an in-depth look at bearded dragon care and ownership, from where to find your new pet (and how to pick a healthy individual) to setting up the terrarium and formulating the perfect diet-and even giving you an introduction to breeding practices. Once you have it in the right home with a good basking light, regular care of a bearded dragon is surprisingly fun and easy. Provided they get regular care and attention, bearded dragons aren't prone to illness or injury-but just in case, this book also introduces you to some of the more common ailments affecting this species and the proper ways to diagnose and treat them. You'll also learn how to prevent these illnesses from occurring with a clean and properly heated enclosure and a proper balance of vegetable and protein food and regular administration of calcium supplements. With their dramatic spiked heads and variety of colorations, bearded dragons have taken the pet world by storm since becoming a world-wide option in the early 1990s-and with the information provided in this book, you too can become a proud dragon owner.
