Prospect of getting new Beardie

This has crossed my mind so many times and many people would ask me if I would get another beardie. Considering how beautiful, sweet, and lovely they are, and personable they are, how cuddly and nice they are. I love bearded dragons. I love how they smile. Love how they are curious. I love Maya with my heart. He's like my son and if I lose him to some form of cancer or his quality of life is impacted.

I have done some searches on the world wide web for a new exotic vet in my area. I called every office. Even the pet stores. They don't know or they have one vet they use because he's the only one in town.

If I had a dog or a cat, or a guinea pig, or a bunny, I would be ok. I would be able to choose any vet I want if I had warm blooded animals.
I'm so deeply disappointed in the lack of Exotic Vets in my area. I cannot even travel due to my car being over 20 years old and for real, stalling when I travel long distance. My Mom and I would be stranded for hours in another county until a tow truck came to help us home.
Farther away, an hour away and an hour back- would be a 2 hour trip to another exotic vet.

Maybe when there are new exotic vets in my area, I would get another dragon along with a new enclosure. Or if I move out of the area I'm in, I can consider a bearded dragon.
This took a lot of thought.
It's not because I don't want one.
It's because of the lack of options to choose a vet.

That's really a responsible attitude about adopting, and probably more thoughtful than a lot of us who have pets that aren't cats and dogs, myself included. That being said, I hope your situation changes for the better soon, both in regard to adopting a new beardie and getting a more reliable vehicle.

Me too. My current beardie is 10 and with the way my vet commented over the phone about him. This led me to think about this.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
