Pogona Vitticeps
Orange, yellow and gray lizard with spike scales on throat neck and head. "The bearded dragon is so named because of the pouch-like projection (also called the guttural pouch) on the underside of the neck and chin area which typically turns darker than the rest of the body. It also boasts spiny projections." - Wikipedia
Native to Australia
This is our pet and he's so sweet! He's usually outside all summer in an open area but we feed him in a terrarium to ensure the food doesn't get away! The video shows him eating.

I'm glad! This guy is such a character and wonderful addition to the family. My oldest insists he be in family photos.
XP. This just made my day
I added a video of him eating a meal worm. They're pretty fast!
Great specie..!!
He was quite happy! He'd just eaten a large grasshopper.
He's laughing so hard he can't even open his eyes. Now that's funny. Wonderful picture.
