Bearded Dragon Reptiles for sale in Portsmouth, Portsmouth

Bearded Dragon, also known as the bearded lizard, originates from the arid, rocky regions of central Australia. These reptiles are recognised by their distinctive "beard" – a spiky throat pouch that darkens when they feel threatened or are displaying dominance. Adult Bearded Dragons typically measure between 16 to 24 inches in length and boast a rusty brown to tan coloration, though various morphs exist. Their temperament is generally docile, making them very suitable as pets, especially for beginners interested in reptiles. They are curious creatures known for their arm-waving gesture, which signals submission, and their head bobbing for dominance. In terms of care, these lizards require a spacious enclosure with a basking spot heated to 95-110°F and access to UVB lighting critical for their calcium metabolism. They thrive on a balanced diet, predominantly plant-based with occasional insects, and need regular supplementation with calcium and vitamins. If you're looking to buy a Bearded Dragon for sale in the UK, ensure to purchase from reputable breeders to avoid wild-caught specimens.
