Lawson's dragon
BeginnerPogona henrylawsoni
The dwarf bearded dragon (Pogona henrylawsoni) is native to the dry grasslands and semi-deserts of northeastern Australia. With a total length of up to 30 cm, it is significantly smaller than the striped bearded dragon, but exhibits just as active and curious behavior. Thanks to its compact size and hardy nature, it is an ideal pet for desert terrarium keeping.
