Do beardies see in a different wavelength than we do. I heard they only see in the UV spectrum.

What wavelengths that make up "visible" light varies among different populations/species of animals.
The visible spectra are not limited to the UV wavelengths for Bearded Dragon. Their visible spectra are pretty much the same as ours. However, it is also likely that their range extends into the near UVA wavelengths. This has been demonstrated in other species of Agamidae, I'm not sure if Bearded Dragons were included.
I used to have a reprint of a few articles on this topic but I lost them last fall in a flood. If you're really interested a trip to your local university library should reveal the relevant papers.
