Bearded dragons are cool creatures. They are cold blooded reptiles and almost
always are peaceful. They make great pets and most of them like humans. That is
what this report is about, beardies as pets.
The bearded dragon is a very good pet for beginners. Beardies live in the
Australian deserts and are very colorful. They are just very expensive. Beardies need a forty gallon terrarium and need uvb lighting. The lizard would also want a basking light so it can stay warm because, they're cold blooded, remember? For substrate, you'll want to use calcium sand, newspaper or eco carpet. On both sides of the tank you will want a thermometer, for one end is the cool side while the other is the warm side. Something to hide in is not recomended except for an adult.
Bearded dragons love to be held and played with. Beardies need temperatures around ninety degrees farenheit on the warm side, around eighty degrees farenheit on the cool side, and around 105 degrees farenheit on the basking spot.
Bearded dragons eat crickets, cockroaches, waxworms, mealworms, collared greens, apples, bananas, bell peppers, and other plants. They also like to climb, so put in some drift wood as well, maybe even a reptile hammock. Never place two male bearded dragons together as they will fight.
Bearded dragon will need two dishes,one place the greens in, the other fill with dechlorinated water. The bearded dragon will eat ten crickets a day, four to five roaches, waxworms for treats, and a bunch of mealworms. Feed the insects to the beardie every day at the same time, while he has to be able to eat the greens whenever he wants, so leave the plants in at all times. When you get your beardie, don't hold him or her too much because he will get stressed. Wait two weeks before actully playing with him or her.
The bearded dragon is a very awesome pet to have. Now all you have to do is go beg your mom for one. Your dad will probably like the idea.
