Species Information
Bearded Dragons - Ponga vitticeps are native to Australia. Much like any lizard, they require sunlight to synthesize vitamin D3, an essential component of calcium processing and required for bone growth.
Bearded dragons are a popular pet with moderate care requirements (not as easy as a King Snake). Bearded dragons are omnivores; they eat bugs and vegetables. They also have distinct personalities, which makes them great pets.
