The bearded dragon belongs to the genus Pogona. Three other species in the same genus include the eastern bearded dragon (Pogona barbata), the central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps), and the western bearded dragon (Pogona minor). These species share similar characteristics and habitats, primarily found in Australia.

Yes - three of mine are ! At least they've mated with a male and are likely to lay eggs any day now.
Two or three times a week. It depends on the individual animal. They will only eat when they're hungry.
A good size terrarium is a 40 gallon, that's the minumum i have a 70 gallon that can hold three i have 2 in there
They don't need it. They're a desert species and wouldn't encounter water sprays in their natural habitat.
There are many types of iris.
It is cruel to blow marijuana smoke at a bearded dragon. Animals do not always react to drugs the way people do, and the smoke could make the lizard feel ill, stressed, disoriented or frightened. A full-grown bearded dragon weighs no more than two or three pounds, compared to 100-180 pounds for an adult human, so what seems like an insignificant amount of THC for a person is a huge amount for a small lizard. This having been said, it is unlikely that one lungful of smoke would permanently harm the lizard. If this act were done on a continued basis, however, the animal might indeed suffer negative physical or behavioral changes.
None. The other three species (Sarcophilus. S. laniarius and S. moornaensis) are already extinct.
Yes it is ! You should only house a reptile in a container suitable for its imediate needs. Small or younger reptiles need less space - giving them a huge tank would be like putting you in a huge appartment block all by yourself ! Start with a small enclosure and increas as the bearded dragono grows bigger !
