To the best of my knowledge, the majority of the beta carotene is not in the carrots but in the stem (the green part that sticks up out of the ground). Beta carotene is also related to vitamin A. Vitamin A is not recommended for beardies.

This is what I was told when researching vitamins for reptiles. I have not seen any conclusive evidence to this end, what do you think Cheri?

By the way, if its color you want, just dunk your dragon in cool aid. No long term effects!
