Central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps)
Bearded dragons are probably the most popular pet reptile in the US. However, they need broad-spectrum lighting, and their insect- and plant-based diet requires regular calcium supplementation to avoid secondary nutritional hyperparathyroidism. These lizards do better in larger wooden or fiberglass vivaria rather than glass aquaria.
