التنين الملتحي · مراحل الحياة

Bearded dragons grow very fast in their first months; correct heat, UVB lighting and frequent, appropriately sized meals are the top priorities of this stage.

Between 7 and 18 months, bearded dragons' growth slows and their diet starts shifting from insects toward plants.

Between 18 months and 7 years, bearded dragons settle into long adult years. A plant-heavy diet, correct heat and UVB, exercise and weight control are the foundation of this stage.

Bearded dragons can show signs of ageing from about 7 years of age. Easy-to-reach basking spots, an adapted diet and close monitoring make this stage more comfortable.
