We got Beardie from Petsmart before Christmas. He was the biggest in the cage, but they said he was no more then 2 months old. We mostly got him for my son. But since hes only 8, I take full care of beardie, along with our 12 year old dog, one parakeet, and a few fish tanks. My husband built the 48" by 18"enclosure, but we already see mistakes, and may rebuild later. Beardie eats well, too well. Im struggling to keep enough crickets and dubia roaches around. He still hates to be held, unless you have food. He opens his mouth and acts like he will bite, unless you have an offering. We hold him for 20ish minutes twice a day. He gets a bath every other day. Which he hates unless you toss some crickets in the water with him. If any replies, I'd be happy to post pics. Thanks.
