Here's more information about Rango from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria:

Have you ever seen a bearded dragon on a pink chaise lounge? We hadn't either, so we think it's important that Rango's glamour shots are shared with the world! Adoptable Rango is a male, 5-year-old bearded dragon who is looking for a place to lounge permanently (if you don't have a chaise lounge, he said that's OK). Rango is docile and friendly. He also doesn't mind being handled. You will often find him perched on a log in his enclosure curiously looking out, awaiting visitors. With the proper equipment and food, bearded dragons are easy to care for! Bearded dragons are known for their "smiles," which is actually a way for them to stay cool. Besides his beardie food, he likes to munch on leafy veggies and insects, like mealworms.
