Scientific name: pogona vitticeps English name: central bearded dragon, inland bearded dragon Alias: central bearded iguanas, lizards inland lion mane Family Name: flying lizard families (agamidae) Distribution: Australia in the east. Living in the desert, dry grasslands, shrub and forest. Habits: Central mane lion lizard is the most common pet lizard lion mane member, oviparous diurnal lizards, each producing about 11 to 16 eggs, which will make the lizard is threatened more than mouth and swollen thorn throat, and display action, namely "beard" a the origin. This species is often spotted flying lizard habitat in the dry, often see their lives in the trunk of a fence post or dead tree, or between the bark feeding insects. Larvae have the habit of cannibalism. Morphological characters: body length of about 30 to 55 cm thick body and very flat, triangular head and large, external ears was, back of the head, neck, back and throat with large thorn-like scales, side of the body has a regular arrangement cone-shaped spines like protuberances. Body back to brown, yellow or reddish-brown, has two columns of dark brown irregular markings. ※ Note: The mane lion lizard native to Australia, but the Australian government restricted the export of native reptiles, so far the market can see Chow lizards, are _set_ in the Australian Government in some way before the transport ban to Europe and America out of individual offspring of breeding again. Feeding: Mane lion lizard's diet is omnivorous, but more biased in favor of carnivorous, some lizards, such as universal feed crickets, worms bread, oatmeal super worms, insects, grasshoppers, and so it is completely and meat accounts for a share in the daily intake of two-thirds, of course intake of some fruits and vegetables, accounting for one third of the daily intake; larvae feeding in the higher frequency of more than about 2 or 3 times a day, two days into the body, then you can feed once can be fed crickets twice after the third feeding of vegetables, it was mainly in rearing the meat, but this will not result in a balanced nutritional intake, have to pay attention. _Select_ion in terms of substrate to reptile calcium sand, reptile sand or sterile soil mix best reptile sand, sawdust or tree dander and other substrate is best not to use. Reptile feeding lizards to be relatively large space required, and some say is the space length must be three times the length of lizards, I think that kiss anal counting two to three times can be long, but the lizards have mane lion highly territorial, so if space feeding into a lizard to be a little bigger, but do not get a space of more than two male lizards, also in the group do not support each other when the size difference is too poor, or because of the smaller individuals may grab produced food, but the pressure of individual strengths, and finally leading to death. Mane lion lizards less likely to drink the water basin, so the basin can not be placed, but must be kept inside in the water every day for their drinking, mane lion lizard lizard be quite long-lived, if kept Well, they can live to more than a decade. Gender: When the larvae of many lizards, sex is very difficult to identify, mane lion lizard is the same experience in about a year after the child reaches sexual maturity; some of the male lizard lion mane in the breeding season when the adult will become a black chin, However, not all individuals are so, so it is best to identify the root of the tail to see more accurate, the male tail, coarse, and the roots of a protrusion on each side, while the tail of smaller females, but only the middle of the roots a protuberance, the difficulty of the adult male's fairly simple to identify. Propagation: Mane lion breeding amphibians and reptiles, lizards basis for raising a little person can be more easily, while several of the above can also choose a male polyculture mane lion lizard with 4 to 5 females mane lion lizard polyculture, there seems to be normal Desert high-temperature environment, choose adjustable heated stones over the types of more than 45 ℃, and the other choice with the poly high wattage heat lamp uva, fixed the temperature reaches above 40 ℃ can be even more than 45 ℃, mane lion lizard is omnivorous, but than the partial lizard meat, so the fecal smell quite heavy, the bottom cushion and suction drainage should choose the best walnut smell of debris, so your mane lion lizard will increase appetite and activity, together with a large number of vitamins, vitamin d3 and calcium powder, etc., I believe mane lion will live a healthy lizard. After 8-month breeding individuals can begin to reproduce, to adjust the first 10 hours of sunshine the temperature is 24 ℃ ~ 27 ℃, 14 hours a night temperature of 16 ℃ or so you can (because mane lion lizard has a unique temperature control mechanism, so They may be able to be 10 ℃ low temperature) this adjustment period for large mane lion lizard hibernating conditions. Early December to around mid-February, also in mid-October to mid-January, during cooling to minimize or not to feed 3 to 4 weeks before breeding adjust the normal heating and food supply of sunshine, and later will gradually appear before breeding behavior, including aggression male mane lion lizard fighting each other while the female lion lizard show bristles gently smooth before mating, and soon will begin mating, when the female lion mane should be abundant lizard of the feeding and nutrition, until the summer is not pregnant mane lion lizard females are more plump, behavior is more pronounced at the mane lion lizard often dig holes for the number one choice for the eggs of the premises, indoor propagation, it is recommended in cages placed on wet sterile sand, dig hole for their eggs, should not use hard or it may lead to the production of matrix failure, lay eggs more time about 1:00 am ~ 6:00 pm At this time almost all the female lizard lion mane in the hole until it is completely under the finished, will be out of holes before In addition, its belly to see if your video has finished laying eggs, eggs must be especially careful to take the sand brushed aside one by one removed from the box filled with moist vermiculite, the 1 / 3 of the body exposed vermiculite eggs 2 / 3 of them buried , and then it can not then move the egg, and finally the temperature was adjusted to 29 degrees into the reptile-specific incubators, for 45 to 80 days, depending on the incubation period, depending on the different varieties, such as pogona barbata about 70 ~ 80 days, pogona henrylawsoni about 45 ~ 55 days, pogona vitticeps about 55 ~ 75 days, almost litter in the first egg hatched lizards lions mane after will all hatch within 24 hours to complete, but there are a few up to 4 to 5 days of example, may be about 15% to 25% of the eggs will not hatch, the main reason for the initial _set_ to take eggs and egg negligence work. Mane lion female lizard about three years of high productivity, which will gradually decrease until after the failure, death.
