About Bearded Dragons
Bearded dragons are the friendliest reptile we keep and the one we recommend most for first time keepers.
Full of character, happy to be handled, and active during the day so you actually see them doing things. They will sit on your hand, watch the room. Kids adore them.
They do need good UVB and a proper basking spot we will set you up with everything and explain the daily routine.
