| The Bearded Dragon is an egg layer. The female will dig many test holes, maybe up to twelve, before deciding where she'll lay her eggs. First, She'll dig a small hole and test the temperature and moisture content of the soil by touching her nose to the soil. Then, if she likes it, she'll finish digging the hole, and lay her eggs. After the eggs are laid (between 10 and 20) the hole is covered and the female leaves to look for food - egg laying is hungry work! Females might lay two or three clutches of eggs in a season, depending on the amount of food available and her body condition. The female Bearded Dragon does not stay to look after the babies when they hatch - they are independent as soon as they emerge from their eggs and dig out of their burrow. Bearded Dragons, with their long legs, toes and nails, are very good at climbing. They like to feed on a variety of insects, with grasshoppers and crickets being a favourite.
This is not the Bearded Dragon found on the Eastern coast of Australia. The local species is called the Coastal Bearded Dragon. Coastal Bearded Dragons are usually a grey colour, to help camouflage the animal when amongst the shadows of trees or bushes. These dragons will also lie perfectly still when encountered, hoping to be mistaken for a broken branch. The Inland Bearded Dragon is the animal used by Cool Companions. It is a little smaller in size and highly variable in colour, depending on what part of Australia it came from. They can range anywhere from cream to yellow to orange. These animals also rely on colour for camouflage in the light reddish sandy environments of inland Australia.
