As babies the best substrate for them is actually paper towel and it can stay that way the whole time you have them, but just be prepared to spend more on paper towel than you would on a couple bags of Calci-Sand. It is safe for them because they can digest it easily since it's made from a mineral and it's what I use for my dragon. They also can't have actual sand or pebble/crushed walnut shell as substrate or they will get impacted (which means it will build up in their intestines and possibly kill them) so I recommend Calci-Sand. If two dragons are in a enclosure together they will end up killing each other unless its a 50 gallon breeder with either two females or a male and a female. These dragons need a 40+ gallon tank that is preferably a breeder-type tank(meaning it's short but has more surface area for them to roam around) and are NOT social.

I must also warn that they all have unique personalities so my experience can and most likely will be different from others. Babies are easier to kill from food that is too large for them. They carry them as babies and juveniles at pet stores. Beardies can reach 2 feet though, and require a larger habitat as adults. She is very laid back and she loves apples and pumkins in particular. I have a beardie named Daenerys, and I can confirm that bearded dragons are extremely easy to care for. I love em and there look funny that’s what makes them so cute they have a fat build short stubby legs and a large head that’s all for now - SnakejunkieĪrmadillo Lizard also, Very cute and looks like a dragon. I’m quite surprised blue tongue skinks aren’t on here they look like dragons to me at least there a AMAZING pets I have own and still own most of these a red eyed crocodile Skink, and many bearded dragons, Mexican crocodile skink, and many snakes to my friends I’m known as the reptile queen lol but out of over 80 reptiles Blue tongue skinks are my top favorite these lizards get a good 18 in as adults and they are extremely smart for a reptile they are able to be taught trick with patients and they are hilarious they have so much personality because they are so intelligent and they can eat anything from eggs to boiled turkey they can eat practically anything there are known as the garbage disposal because of how many different foods they can eat.

I believe the pic shows the ones that cannot be legally owned unless something has changed in the last few years. They are very different and don't look a lot alike in the face. Your picture of the armadillo lizard is wrong.
