There are two types of Bearded Dragons: Inland and Coastal. They're sometimes called "locals" and occupy different geographical areas across Australia. The third type, Rankins Dragons, is a hybrid cross between the other two that only exists in captivity. Inland Bearded Dragons: Inland Bearded Dragons have a lighter color with dark, horizontal banding. They're found in the deserts of Australia and prefer arid climates. Coastal Bearded Dragons: Coastal Bearded Dragons are larger than Inland Dragons and have heavy black barring covering their entire bodies. They're usually found near the coasts or other areas with higher humidity. Sandfire or Rankins Bearded Dragon: These hybrids only exist in captivity since they can't be bred in the wild. They're the result of crossbreeding an Inland Dragon with a Coastal Dragon.
