The Bearded Dragon is one of the larger agamid lizards. Gray to brown in color. Pale underneath. Broad, triangular head. Stout body. Row of spines along edge of body and under throat. When threatened puffs up, raises its frill or "beard" and opens mouth showing yellow mouth lining. It is often mistaken for the Frilled Lizard. If you look at the real "Frilly" you will see that the neck frill is much longer than the short spiky frill of the Bearded Dragon. Size: 25cm excluding tail
Woodlands and dry eucalypt forests, also suburban gardens near woodland.
Food: It eats leaves, fruits, berries, flowers, insects, small lizards and snakes. Breeding: lays about 20 eggs in hole in soft soil, litter
