Beardies — a central bearded dragon from our European captive-bred stock. No other reptile is this interactive: beardies watch you across the room, wave, head-bob, beg at the glass at breakfast, and genuinely enjoy a warm shoulder. The title states this animal’s age, sex, morph line or included setup; current photos and its feeding record are a message away.

Care Basics
Two pieces of equipment decide a beardie’s health: a basking lamp reaching 40 °C at the surface and a T5 UVB tube spanning most of the enclosure. Dust insects with calcium, shift the diet toward salads with age, provide a lay box for adult females, and house singly — beardies are solitary and happiest that way. Do that, and you have a decade of personality that treats your living room as its territory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a bearded dragon right for a first-time keeper?
It’s the classic first reptile: diurnal, hand-tame, hardy and expressive — active when you are, and visibly responsive to its keeper.
What about morphs like hypo, trans, red or zero?
Colour and scale genetics only — care is identical across every line. Morph and het status for this listing is exactly as titled; ask us to explain its breeding potential.
