We have been reading and reading and reading about bearded dragons for three weeks now and are hoping to have our first bearded dragon in 1-2 weeks. We are awaiting the first post-shed photos from the breeder of our choices for our little one. We have stalked this fantastic website and figured even though we do not have one yet, it was time to register. We have had everything from dogs, cats, guinea pigs, mice, birds, and dwarf hamsters -- but this is a first reptile for us. Our almost 7 year old daughter developed asthma and severe cat allergies so we have been without a pet the last four years (the first time in my whole life without a pet). We are very excited and are trying to be patient!
