Description

The Central Bearded , Pogona vitticeps , Dragon is similar in shape to the Eastern Bearded Dragon.
If exposed to light, the dorsal skin of the lizard becomes darker, and if exposed to darkness, it becomes lighter. Under constant darkness (i.e. in the subjective night), the lizards’ dorsal skin becomes the lightest.
You may catch a glimpse of these sun loving dragons on the side of an outback highway, or patrolling for insects in a woodland clearing. Like other species of Bearded Dragon, this lizard relies on more bluff than bite; trying to appear larger and spikier than it really is to any potential predator. Adults of this species can reach a total length of up to 60 cm (24 in), with the tail accounting for more than half.
Found in the temperate to tropical arid to semi-arid woodland, shrublands and hummock grasslands of the Murray-Darling Basin, south-eastern Northern Territory to inland west New South Wales and Queensland.
