Bearded Dragon Care

Bearded dragons are one of the better beginner reptiles, but you must make sure that are able to provide the proper diet and husbandry for the animal. Although, they are one of the better beginner reptiles, their husbandry requirements are a little more complicated than the simple leopard gecko or crested gecko.

But, the temperament of the bearded dragon, is what truly makes them near the top of the best beginner reptiles list. So, you want to make sure that you are able to provide the proper care and diet for bearded dragons.

Although bearded dragons are relatively healthy and robust, you want to make sure that you supplement them properly. Otherwise, you risk the chance of metabolic bone disease, which can be fatal.



Another bearded dragon health concern is impaction, which is completely preventable, but can be fatal. You want to make sure to house bearded dragons on solid substrates such as tile, paper towels, and such. Avoid play sand, calcium based sand, corn cob, wood shavings, and any loose substrates that can be accidently injested.

Caring for The Two Most Popular Pet Reptile

I have two bearded dragons. After researching and begging for one for probably two years, I finally got a baby bearded dragon for my birthday one year. She was so small. I knew right away she need crickets and veggies. Many people don't know that...

Bearded Dragons join leopard geckos on the top kept reptile. Although the two vary in size and diet, they are both docile reptiles, which make great pets, especially beginner pets. But, sometimes their diet, isn't followed through correctly. I've heard people say that they've NEVER fed their bearded dragon veggies. WHAT? Not good. Well, reading Bearded Dragon Diet you can see the different produce items that you can feed bearded dragons as well as how much to feed them.

Leopard geckos are one of my favorite gecko species. They come in SO many morphs (colors), ranging from tangerine, yellow, albino, jungle, red eyes, black eyes, etc. There are so many possibilities out there for the Eublepharis macularius species.

On top of that, leopard geckos are one of the most owned reptile species due to their ease in captivity as well as their very docile temperaments. But, just because many people own leopard geckos, it doesn't necessarily mean they know how to properly take care of them. Here is a basic caresheet for Caring For Leopard Geckos.
