Pogona minor minor are large lizards, 38 cm in length (15 cm from snout to vent), P. minor minima is slightly smaller. All Bearded dragons have a chameleon-like colour, either blending into their environment or presenting a brighter display during interaction with others. It is similar in appearance to Pogona nullarbor and Caimanops amphiboluroides (Mulga Dragon), but is distinguished by a smaller head size, and the arrangement of spines on the underside and neck. The Western bearded dragon is widespread in Southwest Australia and central deserts, the range includes semiarid regions such as woodland or heathland, and arid desert or coastal dunes. This subspecies also occurs on Dirk Hartog Island. Pogona minor minima is found on West, North, and East Wallabi Islands, Houtman Abrolhos.

| - Pogona minor minor are large lizards, 38 cm in length (15 cm from snout to vent), P. minor minima is slightly smaller. All Bearded dragons have a chameleon-like colour, either blending into their environment or presenting a brighter display during interaction with others. It is similar in appearance to Pogona nullarbor and Caimanops amphiboluroides (Mulga Dragon), but is distinguished by a smaller head size, and the arrangement of spines on the underside and neck. The Western bearded dragon is widespread in Southwest Australia and central deserts, the range includes semiarid regions such as woodland or heathland, and arid desert or coastal dunes. This subspecies also occurs on Dirk Hartog Island. Pogona minor minima is found on West, North, and East Wallabi Islands, Houtman Abrolhos. These dragons display a behaviour common to other Pogona species, the dragon will wave its hand to trigger a response from a potential predator. Another typical behaviour of is that of 'head-bobbing' amongst males, perhaps related to dominance within their social order. It is often seen basking on fence posts.
