Bearded dragons are like the starter Pokémon of pet reptiles.
Because they're chill and love spending time with their humans, a bearded dragon could be the perfect pet for you if you've never had a reptile and want an easy one to start with, experts say. Bearded dragons have grown in popularity and are great options for people with limited space, or those who suffer from allergies that are aggravated by dogs and cats, according to the U.S. Association of Reptile Keepers.
“Bearded Dragons have a very easygoing temperament, as you can see,” said Michelle Thompson, whose bearded dragon Nubby sat on her shoulder during a recent video interview with USA TODAY.
