It can reach 50 cm in length; males are larger than females. It is characterized by the presence of modified scales to form sharp spines on the lateral and lower part of the head and lateral of the trunk. The average life is 10-20 years.
It reaches sexual maturity at 1-2 years; about 6 weeks after mating, the female lays 11-30 eggs per brood which are laid in nests dug in the sand. Hatching occurs in 60-80 days.
The specimens on the market are all reproduced in captivity, and therefore already adapted to life in the terrarium, and generally very docile. They represent excellent terrarium animals for their relative ease of breeding, their docile character, their adaptation to the terrarium and their small size.

The bearded dragon needs a spacious terrarium. Males are very territorial and should never be housed together due to their aggression. Furthermore, the young should not be placed together with adults, because they would risk being devoured.
The terrarium in which the reptile is kept must replicate, as far as possible, its natural habitat, which is always impossible to do perfectly in such a confined environment. The set-up must be such as not to complicate cleaning operations, which if they become too demanding they risk being postponed with deleterious consequences for hygiene.
The pogona should be housed in terrariums as large as possible, with smooth walls, easy to clean and disinfect;
the most used materials are glass, plexiglas, plastic and fiberglass.
Hiding places should be placed inside the terrarium, such as earthenware pots or boxes with an opening or tree bark. Hiding places are essential for the well-being of the animal because they provide a sense of security and reduce stress.
In the terrarium there must always be only one male, who can possibly live with 2-3 females, if the space available is sufficient. For beginners, however, it is preferable to keep the pogona individually.
You must avoid leaving the reptile free to roam the house because this exposes it to numerous dangers (eg
examples of getting lost or crushed), to inadequate environmental conditions as regards temperature and humidity, and because it is not a good hygiene practice.
