Origin

Origin of the Pogona Vitticeps (Ernst Ahl, 1926)

Geographical distribution

The bearded dragons come from the semi-desert of Australia and Tasmania.

 

Morphology

Pogona Vitticeps juveniles are between six and eight centimetres when they clutch from their egg. They have 20 not protracting claws. Once they’re adult, bearded dragons are stocky lizards, which can reach a height of 50 centimetres. Their main feature is a row of thorny scales they have along their bodies as well as on their necks, hence the name bearded dragon. In order to intimidate their enemies, bearded dragons can deploy this beard with thorns (hyoïdien device), color it in black and open their mouth to look very impressive.
Their belly is usually fair. The upper part of their body is colourful. The colours may vary, depending on their phase, their age (the coloration of the phases appears only after a few months), the temperature and the lighting. The standard coloration of pogona vitticeps is brown / gray with a dark pattern, while for phases, the colours are more intense (white, yellow, orange and red) and the pattern is mitigated. Males are generally larger than females. The hemipenis which lie at the base of their tail and that only males possess, allows to distinguish females from males.
