Question
Is it ok to give my bearded dragon salt or pepper?Or is it too much for them? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Logan,
You don't want to give your dragon any salt ..they have a hard enough time getting rid of the salt they do have...they don't sweat like other animals do to remove excess salts.
Pepper would not be a good thing to give your beardie either.  
You can feed him FRESH cut up sweet peppers though as an addition to his dark leafy greens daily. You are feeding your dragon collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, etc, right?
