    So I took a picture of my Bearded Dragon, Spike!  He can be very calm and very energetic, Spike likes to run around the house when all the doors are closed so he doesn’t get lost.  He likes to eat dubia roaches and he also likes mealworms.  Spike licks things to smell and uses the licking to get used to his surroundings.  Unlike how you would get a bearded dragon at the store, we bought him from someone that couldn’t take care of him anymore.  He likes it when we get a blanket and put it on top of him when he sleeps, they sleep like humans.  They go to sleep when it’s dark and wake up when the sun is up or in this case, he wakes up when the light turns on.         

    He gets scared very easily, so don’t scare him or his beard will start puffing up.  Bearded dragons use that as a defense mechanism to make themselves look bigger and more intimidating for possible predators that will try to eat them.  They have a row of very sharp teeth that they use to crunch up bugs such as the mealworms.  Bearded dragons are not hostile creatures, instead they are nice and calm.  So don’t worry about them hurting you, the only way they might hurt you is if they scratch you with their claws, which I don’t think you should worry about because it won’t happen often.  That is the summary of my bearded dragon and some bearded dragon facts that most people don’t know.
