Bearded dragon baby, Kai, 15 weeks old. Just remembered they have a 3rd eye. It's that little black dot in the middle of the top of the head. The parietal eye is a photosensory organ connected to the pineal body, active in triggering hormone production (including reproduction) and thermoregulation. It is sensitive to changes in light and dark. It does not form images, having only a rudimentary retina and lens. Also referred to as "pineal eye" or "third eye." Humans have one, too, but ours has no outlet at the top of our skull.
This lizard is supposed to have a friendly and calm nature, so why was my 26 year old Son scared when he fed it?

This bearded dragon belongs to our grand-daughter: her choice of pet!
Moved Alduin into a new, bigger vivarium yesterday. He was a bit unsure at the start but now happily exploring and making a nuisance of himself. Excuse the shedding beard, he's pretty much constantly in a state of shed somewhere on his body!
Puk the bearded dragon - He is the best boy ever!
"Not much is written about the puk, it is a small dragon spirit with four feet. It lives in households and brings stolen goods to the head of the house. Stories of the puk started in Germany and spread outward through Europe from there."
Think he wanted out wouldnt stop headbutting the glass. When i opend it he climb staight up and had a good nose around. Sat there like that for ages just chilling hanging out of his viv
I got Kai a little matching green elf hat, but sadly, found that bearded dragon head's do not take kindly to elastically held on hats. Right where the elastic crosses the jowls, they have mega spikes, which is not conducive to a comfy hat wearing experience. However, no such issue with his holiday scarf! Sincere thanks to my daughter and husband for their lizard wrangling skills, and Merry Christmas to you all!
