This is a very useful book and a good antidote to some of the questionable information I've found on the internet. I wish I had had this book when I first got my bearded dragon as I would've been a much better caretaker for him.

Damn, 2 yrs of servitude!? This book must gotta be a pre-req for all beardie owners manual...... Arms up - just dance / arms out - just dance.

This was a very useful book. I highly recommend reading it before getting a bearded dragon to avoid certain mistakes that I learned the hard way (like keeping juvenile beardies in separate enclosures. One of my dragons, Eragon, had to get his foot amputated after a nasty fight).

Overall, this book contained a lot of interesting information of the history of the species, different types of beardies, breeding, and (of course) how to take care of them.

I do wish it offered a bit more advice on feeding because my current bearded dragon, Toothless, is an extremely picky eater!
