Bearded Dragons are one of the most friendly, outgoing, docile lizards and are generally very tame and very friendly. They have the personality of an iguana, but are only about one third of the length and have a wide range of interesting and entertaining behavior. If you take the time to get to know the personality of your bearded dragon you will not regret it.

While they are generally considered good pets even for beginner reptile owners, they do have fairly complex nutritional and environmental requirements so need special equipment and a fair amount of time to care for properly. However, they are social and easy to tame and handle, and show a range of fascinating behaviors that make them interesting to watch.

When you decide to buy a Bearded Dragon, whether from a breeder or Pet store, look it over carefully. Some things you should notice right away is how alert and active the Dragon is, you don’t want a Beardie that can’t lift it’s head or looks lethargic. When you walk up to the enclosure the Beardies should be watching you with interest and should have bright and alert eyes.

The bearded dragon is an ideal pet for those who have children, and as long as younger children understand that the bearded dragon is very fragile, and can be hurt easily, the bearded dragons are safe to be handled by children, and won’t bite, or scratch. They will quite happily lie on their owner’s hands, and show no signs of discomfort, or distress while being handled.

Bearded dragons are easy to care for, as long as you know the equipment that is needed to simulate their environment, and will breed easily in the right conditions. Reptile owners will all agree that if you are new to reptile ownership, the bearded dragon is the best reptile to start off with because of his friendly disposition, hardiness and gentle nature.

If you are new to reptile ownership, and want to get a bearded dragon, make sure that you have all of the necessary equipment and food ready for your bearded dragon before bringing him home. Make sure to ask your supplier, or local pet store what the dragon has been fed previously, and make sure that you simulate his environment to resemble his natural habitat. By doing this, you will ensure the long, healthy, happy life of your reptile companion for many years to come.
