How Quagmire the Bearded Dragon got his name

Quagmire is a bearded dragon living here at our exotic pet rescue shelter & sanctuary, CritterCamp.biz . Beardies bob their head when they are excited, escpecially when a male spots a female. Here Quag is bobbing like crazy because he sees Fiona, a female, just out of his reach. He usually cannot see her and is much calmer. His head bobbing looks like the character Quagmire on Family Guy. You can almost hear our Quag saying "giggedy giggedy".
Bearded dragons are native to Australia, but are becoming more common as pets here in the U.S. We currently care for 3 beardies among the 100+ rescued animals here.

So cool! I absolutely love bearded dragons...I have a 4-1/2 year old female that I have had since she was a baby. She's the sweetest, most gentle pet I've ever had!

We actually thought she was a boy for the first 2 years because of the bumps under her tail (it looked like she had 2 on the sides like a male, but it was probably just "beardie fat"), and she bobs her head alot, but we later found out that females can "head bob" too.

Kudos on rescuing reptiles!
