I would not advise a heating pad because when it gets too hot it can burn your bearded dragon's sensitive belly. A heat lamp is enough. There is one more lamp that simulates artificial sunlight you need too (i forget what it is called at the moment) but there is no need for a heating pad. Just, depending on your bearded dragon's size, get the correct size heating lamp. Ask your local pet store owner or bearded dragon breeder what lamp size is best for him/her.
If ALL the Bearded Dragons just suddenly went extinct - their place would be filled by another species.
Firstly, dragons don't really exist the first place. It's just a fantasy. But if you look at the perceptions of fantasy and fairytale, they could. As dragons were told to be the most fearsome yet powerfully magical creatures
To safely provide heating rock for your bearded dragon, use a specially designed reptile heating rock that is regulated to a safe temperature for your pet. Make sure to monitor the temperature regularly and place the rock in a spot where your bearded dragon can easily access it but cannot get burned. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and never use a regular heating rock meant for humans, as it can get too hot and harm your pet.
Bearded dragons exhibit typical reptilian mating behaviors. Males will display dominance by head bobbing and arm waving to attract females. During mating, the male will bite the female's neck to hold her in place. The female will then lay eggs, which the male may fertilize. Bearded dragons do not form long-term pair bonds and will mate with multiple partners.
It matters where you live. I live in Cincinnati so for me the best place to get any lizard or small pet is Jacks. The employees there all know so much about the pets in the store. It's good to have some one there that knows what they're doin'.
Yes, you can place two of the same age together. Be careful though, because if they are different genders they may breed. To tell if it is male or female, gently flip over the bearded dragon and look for bumps just before it's tail. One bump means means female; two means male.
they were chickens in the first place but then the turned into dinosours then dragons
there are many ways to breed them i am currently trying to breed mine but this can be a very confusing method the easiest thing i felt is to go in local pet shops ask a few to get certain answers also some try to con in buying the expensive equipment this isn't necessary. what would you suggest doing to feed all of them. right not i have a breeding colony of mealworms but what other insect whould you suggest. also how would you suggest selling them.
When normally a male bearded dragon bobs it's head up and down, it's telling you that it's the boss or that it's in charge of everything. Sometimes bearded dragons bob their head when they are annoyed! Head bobbing can be seen in females as well; this will be a much slower motion, more exaggerated motion and is a sign of submission to a dominant male.
When using a heat rock for a bearded dragon, it is important to monitor the temperature closely to prevent burns. Place a thermometer on the rock to ensure it stays between 95-105F. Bearded dragons should have access to the heat rock for only a few hours a day to prevent overheating. Always provide a cooler area in the enclosure for the bearded dragon to regulate its body temperature. Regularly clean the heat rock to prevent bacteria buildup.
Arrow on filter toward furnace or inline with air flow.
When bearded dragons are babies they want to explore their surroundings and stay away from the predator (you)! They mode to find their place in the enclosure. After 2 months you will find that they go to the same exact place. This is a direct result from it's prior investigations.
