Current Social Perceptions

The bearded dragon’s classification, along with appearance, keeps many people from familiarizing themselves with this creature. On top of being a reptile, the bearded dragon has maintained a rather “dinosaur” or “prehistoric” look which turns away most people. In no way do these animals have the furry, juvenile appearance as our fellow cats and dogs do. Therefore, the average person who knows nothing about the bearded dragon probably has a negative perception towards it just through appearance. On the other hand, people who have heard even the slightest on them most likely have a positive perception towards the species. They are known for their gentle nature and their acceptance (and possible enjoyment) for human companionship. Families often choose a beardie when searching for a small, manageable pet for their children.
