We're always talking about all of our favorite furry friends, but some of the coolest pets don't have fur at all: reptiles. We wanted to learn a little more about one reptile in particular, and that's the bearded dragon. We checked in with Petco ahead of its Reptile Rally event [1] going on in stores this weekend to learn more about these fascinating little guys.

• Reptiles in general can, in fact, be socialized.
• Reptiles make good pets for people allergic to pet hair and dander.
• They can live upward of 10 years if properly taken care of.
• Bearded dragons get their name from the puffed-up skin under their throats that can turn nearly black, resembling a beard.
• They puff up their "beards" as a defense mechanism because it makes them appear more threatening.
• Bearded dragons eat insects, vegetables, and fruits.
• They are super easy to take care of and make great pets because of their low-maintenance nature.
• Their tails are about half their entire body length.
• When greeting another bearded dragon or bowing to a more dominant male, they will stand on three legs and rotate the fourth leg in the air.
• If a bearded dragon loses its tail, it won't regenerate the way that some other reptiles' do.

Reptile Rally will be Jan. 16 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Petco stores, and knowledgable staff will be on hand to help you learn even more about reptiles. And even better, if you want to take home a new reptile friend, they will be priced 50 percent off!
