replies: text: I disagree, on the basis that the Bearded Dragon article deals with the husbandry (care of animals in captivity) of Pogona sp., while the Eastern Bearded Dragon article is primarily about wild Pogona barbata. BoundaryRider (talk) 03:53, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Judging by photos and from personal experience, I think barbata's "beard" is bigger than vitticeps', and perhaps of all beardies. If you look at the photo in the article, that's one heck of a beard it's got. I have a vitticeps, and I've seen his beard display several times and at full blast. Is there a difference and if so should this be noted in the article? Crimsonraptor (talk) 18:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The Myotoxin article currently gives the Eastern bearded dragon as an example of a lizard with myotoxin venom. Is this perhaps confusion with the beaded lizard (note beaded not bearded)?
Hmmm, it's venomous all right, see http://australianmuseum.net.au/Central-Bearded-Dragon Recent research has indicated that Bearded Dragons poses primitive venom glands, the use of venom in dragon lizards is not yet understood, however a bite from this species should pose no long-term ill effect.

message: From the article: "P. barbata is the most massive of the eight recognized species within the Pogona genus. Adult males can grow to about 60 cm (24 in) from the snout to the tip of the tail, while females may reach 50 cm (20 in) in overall length."
And further down: "P. barbata resembles its close relative, the smaller central bearded dragon, but may be distinguished from the latter by its less robust body..."
Being the "most massive" is definitely questionable. Taken from the P. vitticeps (central bearded dragon) article: "Adults of this species can reach a total length of up to 60 cm (24 in)...".
So from what I can see in these articles, P. barbata and P. vitticeps are the same length, and P. vitticeps have larger bodies, making P. barbata on average the SMALLER of the two, not the larger as is stated (in what appears to be a subjective entry anyways.)
Wanted to clarify what I was going to do before I did it in case anyone had any questions or reasons it shouldn't be changed.

message: What does "sex makeup" mean?  I would assume it was referring to the proportion of males and females in a population, but the section doesn't mention anything about that.  Unless that is going to be added, I'd suggest changing the heading to "Temperature-related sex changes" and the text "change their sex makeup" to "change their sex".
