[QUOTE="AHBD, post: 2045024, member: 40059"] So far you would know that they need specific uvb lights, they need a heat gradient of [ low end ] around 75 F to [ high end ] around 98-105. That high end can very slightly either way. They are found in arid parts of Australia, sandy/grassy and some rocky areas, various shrubs and small trees. Lots of fallen logs to climb and hide in. All of our pet beardies in the U.S are captive born, Australia does not allow the exportation of their animals. The first beardies arrived in the U.S. in either the very late 1970's or early 1980's,some reportedly brought from excess zoo stock in Germany. They come in many different colors, from earth tone tans + browns to those with bright orange, yellow, red, and some almost white. The average length is 17" to 24", a very few might be slightly smaller or larger as adults. In the wild they brumate [ the reptilian equivalent of hibernation ] for several months during the cooler season and many also do this in captivity. At this time they rarely eat and may breathe so slowly that they appear to be not breathing at all ! Females lay large clutches of fertile or infertile eggs, averaging 18 -30 but can be a few less or an astounding 40 or more. One female of the German Giant morph laid 60 eggs in one clutch. Beardies are one of the most popular, if not THE most popular pet reptiles in the world due to their tame nature and ease of handling. Many people can't get just one but a new owner is wise to count the cost of owning multiple dragons as they can be expensive to care for. They eat many types of greens and other veggies, fruit should mostly be avoided because of high sugar content. They also love insects of all sorts, and there are many insect breeding companies throughout the U.S and a few other countries that have booming businesses selling crickets, black soldier fly larva, dubia roaches, silkworms, hornworms, mealworms and superworms.
