Name This Dragon!

This 3.5-year-old male bearded dragon was hatched right here at My Nature Lab. For years he lived behind the scenes, but now he shares a habitat with Thor and Rosie (our tortoises) and absolutely rules the basking log.

The only thing he’s missing is a great name — and that’s where you come in!
