The Inland Bearded Dragon, also known as Pogona vitticeps, is a member of Agamidae family. Bearded dragons are 15 to 24 inches (60cm) long, including the tail. They have a huge range in the interior of Australia, ranging from the subtropical woodlands, to the savannahs, and into the great interior deserts. They are omnivorous tending towards being carnivorous, feed on a variety of insects, any small animal they can overpower, and flowers, greenery and fruits.

Holladay, MS, PhD Department of Biomedical Sciences and Pathobiology, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0442 Twenty-four juvenile bearded dragon lizards, Pogona vitticeps, were divided into four groups of six lizards each for a preliminary feeding study. Groups 1-3 were fed vegetables and crickets ad lib for 90 days, with or without dietary supplements (Tetra Vitalife and Reed's MVP). Group 4 lizards were fed an experimental dry lizard diet only for 90 days. Growth of lizards was followed by monitoring body weight and length, and was not significantly changed by any diet. However, the Vitolife and MVP supplements resulted in significantly increased serum levels of vitamin E and the experimental dry diet resulted in significantly decreased serum vitamin E compared to the lizards fed unsupplemented vegetables and crickets. Thiamin (vitamin B1) was significantly increased in lizards receiving the MVP supplement or the dry diet, compared to the unsupplemented lizards. Additional diet-related differences were observed and are presented. [author abstract]

9. Australian Bearded Dragons bearded dragon lizards were previously classified as Amphibolurus barbatus. Bearded Dragons are lizards with prominent spines and a triangular head. http://www.dragonorama.com/real/bearded.html

Australian Bearded Dragons Agamidae: Pogona Vitticeps Bearded dragons are native to Australia and New Guinea. There are actually seven species of Pogona (or six - authorities differ), however the most common is Pogona vitticeps and it is to this that the term "bearded dragon" usually refers. Bearded dragon lizards were previously classified as Amphibolurus barbatus Bearded Dragons are lizards with prominent spines and a triangular head. They also have a spiny jaw pouch that resembles a beard and gives them their name. They are sometimes mistaken for horned toads. A fully grown bearded dragon can reach almost two feet in length, though half of this is tail! The "beard" is used as a defence mechanism. When threatened, they puff out their jaw pouch revealing the spines. This gives them a threatening appearance that makes many predators think twice. The bearded dragon will then raise itself onto two legs and run away. Bearded lizards are very much a daytime creature and become inactive very quickly once the sun goes down. They are a semi-desert creature and prefer an arid climate. They climb well and will spend a lot of time on branches and basking on rocks. Like many desert lizards, the bearded dragon has the ability to change shade of colour. This ability is believed to have evolved to allow them to regulate body temperature rather than for camouflage.

Bearded Dragon ORDER: Squamata FAMILY: Agamidae GENUS: Pogona SPECIES: vitticeps I. DESCRIPTION: This unusual mid-sized stocky agamid lizard has prominent spines along its sides and a large, essentially triangle-shaped head. Forming a sort of shield around the snout is a spiney jaw pouch which, when swollen, looks like a beard and makes any predator think twice before attacking. This wide-ranging species shows considerable geographic variation; its basic color varies from shades of brown, gray, and reddish-brown to bright orange. The ventral surface ranges from pale to dark gray, with white elongated spots edged with black. Mature males have dark "beards" which become black during courtship and breeding. Adults can grow as large as ten inches in body length or two feet in total length, including the tail. Males are larger than females. II. GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE AND HABITAT: These lizards are native to Central Australia. They prefer semi-arid to arid woodland habitats. Time is spent both on the ground and in trees. They may be found perched on bush branches and even on fence posts. III. DIET:

The Colorado Herpetological Society Care Sheets Lizards The CHS Care Sheets Snakes Lizards Miscellaneous Articles ... CHS Home Page Inland Bearded Dragon Pogona vitticeps by Eileen Underwood Originally published in the Cold Blooded News , Vol.24, No,3, March 1997. Contents: General Housing Substrate Temperature ... References General: The inland or central bearded dragon ( Pogona vitticeps ) is rapidly becoming one of the most popular lizards in the pet trade. A moderate-sized lizard, attaining a maximum length of about 22 inches (half of which is tail), it has a melow dispostion and seems to enjoy interacting with humans. A native to south, central Australia (see range map at right) Pogona viticeps can be found in arid, rocky, semi-desert regions and arid open woodlands. They are diurnal (active during the day) and seem to fall asleep within minutes of the light going off in the evening. With proper care bearded dragons have lived for 10 years in captivity. Because of very restrictive wildlife export laws in Australia, all individuals available in the United States are captive bred from founder animals imported from Europe. Housing: Initially a relatively bare enclosure is preferred, either glass aquarium or large plastic enclosure. A screen cover is recommended, primarily to protect the lizard from children and / or other pets. Within the first year the dragon will grow to almost its full length, so while a 10 gallon aquarium may be suitable for a new hatchling, within 6 months or less the animal will require an enclosure 24 inches long (e.g., a 20 gallon long aquarium). As adults, a 50 gal tank (or larger) is preferable, especially if two or more animals are to be housed together. As adults bearded dragons love to climb branches and bask, be sure if several animals are housed in one large enclosure to provide multiple basking sites. They also benefit from having hiding spots. Females especially appreciate having a safe place to escape from the male's attentions during breeding season.

17. Lizard Heaven - General Care Of Bearded Dragons bearded dragons have just about the best temperment of all lizards (although water dragon owners might disagree!), they are generally docile, and many seem to http://www.lizardheaven.com/bearded.htm

GENERAL The Inland Bearded Dragon, Pogona vitticeps , is native to eastern continental Australia, but most of the beardies in pet stores are now captive bred. The name Bearded Dragon comes from the beard of adult males, and the Australian word for this type of lizard. Their color ranges from the "normal" sandy colored tans and beiges to Golds, Oranges, and Reds. Bearded Dragons make excellent reptile pets. Prominent spikes make them look like dinosaurs, but they are usually quite tame and easy to handle. They can even make good pets for children, if properly supervised, and their relatively small size makes them very manageable. A full-grown Bearded Dragon, snout to vent, is less than twelve inches, or approximately 20-24 inches snout to tail. Bearded Dragons have just about the best temperment of all lizards (although water dragon owners might disagree!), they are generally docile, and many seem to actually enjoy being handled. My two watch my every move around the room, often pacing their enclosures and practically "begging" for food and attention! And boy, can they eat! HOUSING Here are some things you need to remember when it comes to housing beardies. First, they are very active lizards and need room to roam. Mel and Sydney thoroughly investigate their environments on a daily basis. (Sydney still hasn't figured out that rocks and driftwood don't taste good, though.) Second, the bare-minimum size for an adult Dragon is a 40-gallon breeder aquarium (36" x 18" x 16"); for a pair, use at least a 100-gallon. Custom wood cages can be used and are a good idea if you plan to house several adults together, but can be difficult to clean due to the porous nature of the wood. This can be overcome by using a non-toxic polyurethane or epoxy coating on the wood. You can also find cages made from molded plastic. They can be expensive, but are lightweight, durable, and easy to clean.
