bearded dragons

Spiky-throated lizards

Bearded dragons are medium-sized lizards native to Australia, popular as pets for their docile temperament and distinctive appearance.

The name comes from the spiny scales under their throat, which puff out and darken when the animal is threatened or displaying, resembling a beard.

My bearded dragon loves to bask under his heat lamp.
