bearded dragon

Australian pet reptile

A bearded dragon is a medium-sized Australian lizard kept as a pet, named for the spiny pouch under its chin that puffs out when the animal feels threatened.

They're docile, tolerate handling well, and have become one of the most popular reptile pets: My bearded dragon loves basking under his heat lamp.
