Are bearded dragons real? Yes. they are, this is for all of those people out their that want one and have heard of them. Just go by these guidelines and you and your bearded dragon will have a happy and healthy life style!

Bearded Dragons are happy and friendly creatures if you treat them right. They are only $49.99 at "Pet-Smart". These animals are not poisons but they do carry salmonella. Just remember to wash your hands before and after handling them. Do not let this scare you though, as long as you do what i said you will be perfect and safe.

Handling them is most important if you want to keep them happy. Yes, they bite but I have never been bit, they are really friendly, if they do bite you, clearly you did something wrong. Now, what you do is stick your hand under their belly and pick them up, doing this they do kick their legs, this will scratch you, because they have sharp nails. You do not clip their nails though.

Their habitat needs, a 20 gallon tank to start out with if they are babies, adults can get up to 2 feet, very unlikely to happen though, the cages can get up to 100 gallons but you might need at them most 75 gallon, i had two and only had a 50-100 gallon tank. They also need heat lamps, perches, and hiding spots. They also like free space, like roaming your house, or going to the mall, car rides are not good, unless you want them to bite you. Walk just walk. Change their cage every so often.

Nails are also important, they can hang on to you, you don't have to hold them on you they got this. Self defense or just looking scary is another, if they puff out their beard and it changes colors to black they are mad, back off, give them some space. Oh yes, spikes that may sound scary but actually they are soft and squishy.

Diet: They are omnivores but can be herbivores, they eat crickets,kale, and salads. Or any other bug that don't really fly.

Shedding; They shed skin. Their skin changes color over time. It is pretty neat, if you ask me.

Mating: Girls wave their arms and boys bob their heads, when they like each other.

More: They cost almost AT THE MOST $250 dollars. They are awesome. Good Luck!
