Their range extends throughout the interior of the eastern states to the eastern half of south australia and south eastern northern territory.

When you adopt a bearded dragon you will start a new friendship that will last for years and is easily as strong as the bond formed by dog and cat owners.
As a diurnal species they need a good strong uv, and a basking spot large enough to cover their entire bodies. They grow so enormously quickly that there is no point starting small and buying a larger habitat as they grow; they use the space more as youngsters, and need the larger basking areas as they age and slow down. They are a territorial species, with the males best housed alone; they will attack any other dragon they perceive as being a threat, and lone females will be either bred or beaten up! They can co-exist happily in groups of several females to one male provided that sufficient room and multiple basking sites can be provided.
We recommend bearded dragons for first-time reptile keepers as they are very docile, easily tamed and handled. While reptiles should always be cared for by adults, a bearded dragon is quite child-friendly and a good pick for a family. Bearded dragons are quite affectionate and relatively affordable to care for once you get the initial enclosure costs out of the way, making them fantastic all-around pets.
