Sandy

Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps)

Sandy is a High Yellow bearded dragon with a personality as bright as her coloring. She's known for her "crazy eyes" - an endearing quirk that gives her an expressive face - and her tendency to "blackbeard," puffing out and darkening the spiny beard under her chin when she's feeling feisty. Never a dull moment with Sandy around!
