Blue Barred Bearded dragons – hatchies

Home grown!

The most common reptile species kept as pets are typically medium-sized, non-threatened, captive-bred, and easily obtained. The central (or inland) bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) fits this description perfectly, making it by far the most popular pet reptile in the world.

Natural habitat: found in a wide range of arid to semiarid regions from the south-eastern Northern Territory, west Queensland, and NSW to the eastern part of southern Australia. They live in very diverse habitats including desert, dry forests, and scrub.

Wild diet: They are a ‘hunter predator,’ an opportunistic omnivore eating a wide variety of arthropods, worms, small rodents, lizards, greens, fruits, and flowers.
