Do Bearded Dragons really enjoy being stroked? 🦎💚
The answer might surprise you! Many bearded dragons actually love gentle pets and calm attention from their owners. Some even close their eyes and relax when you softly stroke their head, chin, or back. But here’s the important part — every beardie has its own personality. Some love cuddles, while others prefer a little space. The key is trust, patience, and gentle handling. If your dragon stays calm, leans into your touch, or relaxes in your hand, it means they feel safe with you. Watching these tiny reptiles show affection is one of the cutest things ever! Would your bearded dragon enjoy pets too? 🦎✨

A huge thank you to Illawarra Reptile Society for another great event yesterday. A huge range of reptiles on display for the competition and great to see soo many old and new faces at the show. Thank you for stopping by our table.

The biggest highlight for us though was winning the the Sue Adams Memorial shield family choice award for one of our geckos we hatched last year. After recently losing my wife to Leukaemia, this award really did mean a lot to me and our kids. Thank you.

There are a lot of non live food options available, but only a couple our dragons really enjoy, one of which is the Fuzzy Fox Pet Foods although mine prefer to be spoon fed, literally.
