Bearded Dragon

The Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps) is one of the best reptile pets due to its personable nature, robust yet reasonable size, and hardiness. However, its care is a bit more involved than that of a cornsnake, leopard gecko or crested gecko, and keepers need to appreciate its need for considerable space, special UVB AND HEAT LIGHTING and a varied, omnivorous diet with good gut-loading of feeder insects and regular calcium and mineral supplementation. As long as these needs are adequately addressed, the Beardie can be a tame and rewarding pet with a lifespan of 7-10 years or more.

Captive Bred Only

Captive-bred animals generally are healthier and make much better pets than those collected in the wild. The species that captive-breeding efforts are dedicated to are generally better choices for captivity. Captive-bred animals maximize the opportunity for your customer's success and enjoyment of a thriving hobby. We do not keep or sell wild-caught herps and as a result our animals are not exposed to the potential illnesses and parasites of wild-collected specimens. We are captive-breeders and support captive-breeders. We ask that you do as well.
