Welcome to Rio Reptiles, bearded dragon breeders & resource for care and rescue information...
Rio Reptiles is a hobbyist collector, breeder and rescue for bearded dragons.
We are now partnering with Yellow Room Reptiles who is a professional breeder of
Bearded Dragons and has over 8 years of experience. Together, we spent much of 2009 planning
our breeding projects, adding website content, improving the show display, finding quality products
and most importantly, providing excellent customer service. We want to thank everyone
for an excellent year and plan to continue keeping quality and value at the top of our list.
Come see us at Repticon!

Bearded dragons are not just your average pet! Those who know will tell you that there is no other animal for a pet that compares to a bearded dragon. Getting a dragon will truly change your life and give you countless days of fun experiences, regardless of your age or stature. If you are new to dragons, you may not realize how personable bearded dragons are by nature, they love to interact with humans. Dragons enjoy as much attention as our furry friends and are just as fun and just as friendly.
Pet bearded dragons are excellent for kids but their care should always be supervised closely by parents. They are therapeutic and hypo-allergenic pets for those who have different needs for an alternative pet. Dragons make wonderful classroom pets or fantastic family additions to any home but as with any animal, please do your research ahead of time. Enjoy our site and welcome your emails if any questions arise.

As many of you may already know, we are not just your average bearded dragon breeders. We do this for a lot of reasons but most are non-conventional. The main reason is for the enrichment of bearded dragon care and to help better educate first time dragon owners so that they have a good experience. Think of it as a preventative measure, but our philosophy to spend extra time in the beginning maximizes your success up front and minimizes problems in the long run.
We start out by investing in our dragons health by allowing them to grow a little more before making them available. This may cost us more, but by doing so we are assured the dragons will continue to eat and grow in their new homes. We also like to take the time to know our customers and go over your lighting setups and temps. By knowing our dragons new homes are the best possible, we can guarantee their health whie having our own peace of mind.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful team of women and Doctors at the Avian & Animal Hospital in Largo. I highly recommend them to anyone with a bearded dragon or any reptile in need of medical care. They have also helped us with our sulcata tortoises and have impressive knowledge of exotic pet species. They may cost a little more, but in this case, you definitely get what you pay for!
