A Great Guide to Bearded Dragons

**Rocky** · 28-May-12, 02:29 PM

Hey guys, in the years I've kept reptiles I've read through countless guides, manuals and books on reptiles. The other day I was at the local pet barn and saw this book called "bearded dragons" It was $25, I grabbed it after a quick flip through thinking if it's like everything else at least it will have some great photos.

I've never read such a greatly detailed book on Beardies before. Not just your general husbandry information, But it goes into the Natural history and ecology of the Bearded dragon, as well as a great look at the anatomy. Morphs, genetics, ect. Normally when I flip through these books I think wrong wrong wrong wrong. But am yet to find a section I disagree with. There was one paragraph entitled "The heating rock" So I thought here we go, How to kill your dragon, but no, they went into the dangers of the heating rock. First book I've seen do that.

Thought i'd just let you know as I found it very interesting and it taught me all the little bits of information my brain was missing. With some fabulous photos to boot. It's a "Pet expert" book entitled (lowercase) "bearded dragons" Author is Lance Jepson

One of my little ones seemed to enjoy the photos too!

Cheers.

Does it talk about Easterns? I could use this for my Bio assignment...

Sorry should have included that, The books information is based mainly on the Pogona Vitticeps, But does cover some information on the Barbata, what info were you looking for, I can have a flip through now and see if this book would help you.

Natural History, Ecology, Behaviour and anything about their sense (barbata or otherwise)

Thanks Rocky

I'll take some photos of the pages relevant to you and pm them through if you like.

**MathewB** · 28-May-12, 03:31 PM

I'd love that, rocky. Very appreciated

**Rocky** · 28-May-12, 03:33 PM

Ok i've taken the photos, i'll send them to my computer now.

I have a book i like too, but like most books its very americanised, how much was that one you speak of Rocky?? might have to grab myself a copy

I paid $25 at a pet shop, would be cheaper online somewhere. The good thing is everything is in our measurements but also has in brackets the american measurements.
