Fairy Tales are more than
true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us
that dragons can be beaten. ~G.K. Chesterton
Welcome to the blog of a real dragon - The Bearded Dragon! They are very popular now and I have been seeing them in several places. PetSmart, the natural history museum, even the children's bouncy place! They are from Australia, and when they are threatened, they fluff out their spiky beard. They will also run standing up on their back legs, a funny sight indeed. They come in many different colors and pastels, even lavender. And here is the real kicker, they make great pets!! I need to ask my cats what they think about this. Next time you are in your local pet store, keep an eye out.
“…lizards—easy enough to catch, but they sneak past vigilant palace
guards.”
Proverbs 30

He looks very quiet and handsome :)
The one in your header is a very handsome fellow. I have always liked the bearded dragons and considered getting one as a pet at one time. But now I don't think it would feel very safe with all these cats (like your house Ginny) around.
He does look rather dragon-like :)
I LOVE THIS Ginny!!!! I'm always for a good tale of lore, and usually coming with a happy ending. Great photos
He's so cute. I love the Chesterton quote, too.
I'm showing this to Oliver. He needs a playmate!!
Best,

i saw one in the petting zoo 4 years ago and petted it. my first ever viewing of one, i did not know they have them for sale here, these are beautiful in your photos, love the header shot all that detail.. they really are adorable in person.
Lorelei would be fascinated! She really loves all nature already.
God is truly a unique artist. Love the color of this little guy.
No wonder people are afraid of dragons - not to pretty of a creature is he - well I guess to some he is...sandie
These are indeed dragons, love the first yellow one.
Greetings,

Not a pet in my home! Ugh. I can look at them afar and be enticed.
We're doing a chapter of Proverbs a day in our Small Group Bible Study. Haven't arrived at Prov. 30 yet so I had to look up your verse quote.
That's quite awesome.
Love the photos of the bearded dragon.
They are colourful but I really don't think I want one as a pet.
That's one pet we will never have. They have so much detail and I can see it well in your pics. Really cool!
I will take your word on these fellows and leave them be. That is not the kind of pet I would like. So glad you are doing better. Take care.

Awwww....love these, Ginny! I love lizards. :)
He is a very interesting looking creature. Even though they may be very popular pets I think I'll stick with a dog :)
At Petsmart? Seriously? I gotta check! They look a bit scary but beautiful too. I would love to see how your kitties would react if you bring the bearded dragon to home :-)
I would be very scared to get close to that!! I am not very courageous in that way!
Have a nice sunday Ginny :)
I would have been skeered (Texas language) just to have been looking at the thing...Hey, your header is fabulous...love the rich colors.
the only thing I can think to say is I'm so very glad they aren't 6 feet long!I really don't like lizards, or snakes, but my grandson does, I don't wish them ill, I just don't like them, lol,
I could never own a lizard... they would freak me out for some reason. Now, you're cats might have some fun with them.. Phil should have got you one for your birthday.. haha! Hope you're having a good Sunday Ginny.
And to think I thought I'd seen everything:-). I loved the quote. Have a wonderful weekend, Ginny. Blessings...Mary
I think I would like looking at this guy better in the pet store rather than my house. ;)
He is a pretty color though!
I saw a beard dragon late last summer at a street fair. He was part of a wild life animal rescue display. He was so awesome. I loved touching him. Wanted to hold him but I would have no doubt come away with scraps and scratches. They aren't mean but their hide is very well protected from predators (if you know what I mean).
Beautiful photos but just looking makes me shiver. I think if I ever become a pet owner again it will be a warm-blooded rescue animal!
I love the color of this one! Tt did look like a dragon in the close up photo!
I think he's beautiful!!!!
I think I'll let you adopt one of these dragons, if the cats approve. I do like your photos, however.
It does look like a real dragon:)
I love the header pic...such detail! Wow, he's an interesting creature. I'd love to see him run on his hind legs!
They are beautiful and so unusual.
