Do Dragon have teeth

Answer 1

Adult Bearded Dragons have a little over 300 teeth in the mouth. Unlike the Iguana whose teeth point slightly backward into the mouth, Bearded dragons teeth point toward the opposite jaw.

Unlike Iguanas, Bearded Dragons are extremely docile and adapt very well to human contact and handling. If handled properly, a beardie will not intentionally bite. Often, a bite (or nip) occurs while hand feeding when the dragon overshoots the food target.

A two year old dragon can bite down on your skin and can break through. Usually, the bite is limited by small red dots that show where they've penetrated the skin. Most often, if the animal bites, all that remains to show is the indentation pattern of the teeth. I've also noticed that when they release the bite, they may exhibit behavior that suggests that what they just bit is not what they had intended to bite (the food held by your fingers).

Dragons will first posture defensively (Flaring the beard and widely opening the mouth. They may even hiss. If the dragon is provoked further, continues to be mishandled or mistreated, they can bite as a defensive measure. If they do get hold of a finger or area of skin, they will hold on and may even try biting down harder.
