[Sabre0507]

Hey anyone know of a book i could order about beardies that involve topics from caring to feeding to breeding to caring for the young? i want a really advanced book covering everything!

I'm sure there are some good ones out there, but the books I've read have a lot of misinformation in them. Your best bet may be reading through the guides & articles here and posting/reading through the forums. I've learned a LOT that way.

I have this series of books about beardies I found online for 20 dollars. I would recommend them because they are extremely high quality info about beardies. They are called , "Secret manual to bearded dragons" Look it up, there are reviews.

Out of experience books are often blatant and have misinformation regarding care for your dragons. There are users here, including myself who have a wealth of knowledge and have had lengthy past posts. Search tool can be your best friend. If you feel the need PMs and emails are also a great way to ask questions.. in other words just ask. 8)

When I first got Rocky last December I went to Amazon and purchased "The Bearded Dragon Manual" based on high user reviews, and it's very affordable at under $10 USD as well.

Here is the link to the US order page of Amazon for that book: http://www.amazon.com/Bearded-Dragon-Advanced-Vivarium-Systems/dp/1882770595/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414871153&sr=8-1&keywords=bearded+dragon+book

However as the previous poster stated, I would rely and trust the very experienced bearded dragon owners and articles of this website as your primary source of information. That book is certainly a nice and informative book and offers a great source for good information. However I would trust specific UV and best temperature information etc from this website over what's offered in that book.

The articles here are awesome for all your general care information and the forums can be an outstanding way here to ask very specific questions for your own bearded dragons specific situation. NO BOOK can possibly give you the kind of awesome care and answers that other experienced bearded dragons owners can!

As the previous poster also mentioned, the search bar above is a great way to get answers and great information quickly here on this website!

Hope this helps in some way.

Where's that LIKE button when you need it.

One thing I wanted to add is that the books become outdated quickly and I have to say that the experienced owners here share a wealth of detailed information and personal experiences that can't be written in a book. Plus, we stay up-to-date with all the setup specifics.

An excellent book on all Australian dragons, but with a big section on beardies, is "A Guide to...Australian Dragons in Captivity" by Dr. Danny Brown. It's part of a series covering the keeping of pretty much all Australian reptiles and frogs. It's really detailed and also covers some of the species' natural history as well. I haven't bred my beardie but it's been a big help in breeding my southern angle-headed dragons. I'm sure it's available online. But, as others have said, getting first-hand information from experienced keepers here is a great resource. You could also check out the Australian beardie board for some different perspectives.
