1 of my bearded dragons, dug its self a hole in the corner of the tank & slept it in it all day, when i fed it, it came out & ate about 3 crickets, i covered the hole & now it has found somewhere else to curl up and sleep, im not to sure of the sex as it is only about 2.5months old & im not to sure how to tell but im pretty sure that it is a female, she seems to be a bit of a loner since i have had my beardies it has pretty much kept to its self, which has worried me as it seems to stick to the colder side of the tank, i have read a few things that say sand isnt ment to be used, as i need a night heat lamp, the reptile shop that sold me the set up didnt mention a night heat lamp, & as winter in australia is quite cold i have left the heat lamp off the timer as it the tank will get to cold please help

I am considering buying a beardie for my 10 yr old nephew. The one I am looking at is 1 yr old and the owner said he hasn't been handled alot so he may need some training. Is this something a 10 yr old would be able to do? Will the beardie take to him if the beardie has never been around children?

A Lizard of the Petrified Forest
Upon an age-worn, upright stone
Of gems that once had been a part
Of some great tree's rejoicing heart
A Lizard, motionless and lone,
A glowing, living emerald shone
Of such encrusted, radiant sheen,
He reigned the monarch of the scene--
A creature nature's hand had done
When wrought the earth, and air, and sun,
In most harmonious unison.
He viewed us, as we passed him by,
With calm and yet with questioning eye,
But moveless still, as though the stone
Were portion of his being's own,
And voiceless as the forest is,
Whose jewelled ruins all are his.
The desert seemed to hold him there
As one of her supremest fair,
As one to whom our souls should owe
The best that beauty's love can know,
And with her prideful voice to say,
"See how I gem my breast of gray!"
Edward Robeson Taylor (1838-1923)

Baby bearded dragons require a lot o food to support their rapid growth rate. Between the first 3-6 weeks, feed your baby dragon about 2-3 times a day. Cricket, veggies, and greens can be used while watering can be done once or twice daily. It is rule of thumb that the food you will feed them must be about half the size as the distance between his eyes. This is to ensure that your dragon will not suffer from terminal indigestion.

Breeders have managed to produce a variety of skin colors, but lizard green hasnt yet been managed. Colors that exist include pastel oranges, violets and reds, with some popular morphs including sand fire and tiger.

Bobbing the head rapidly and a slightly curved tail tip show aggressiveness, while circular movements of the arms like waving show submission. They do ritualistic sparring matches with two bearded dragons circling each other, flat to the ground, beards and tails up and out, while biting each others tails. Usually no damage is done. Some owners report they can mimic this behavior patterns and get a similar response from their dragons, to the point of even maintaining eye contact.

Bearded Dragons in the wild will often stand up on their hind legs to run from danger. This is actually slower than running on all fours, and might be a form of temperature control. The animals produce heat while running, and being cold blooded, have no good way to regulate their body temperature. Running on their hind legs puts their body farther away from the hot ground and improves airflow around them. This should allow them to run farther before having to stop.
