Thanks for adding me. Needing a little bit of advice before getting my 5 year old son a beardie. He asked for one back in July. Went to the local big pet store to see it was and what was needed because I had never even heard of them before. Well I fell in love with them at first sight. As expected the sales person tried to sell me on the kits. But decided to go home and do more research. Best decision ever. I found a local breeder and asked if the kid and I could go look at his to make sure this is what he wanted and I could ask questions. He was more than happy to and even showed me how to set up feeder colonies. So since then been doing more and more research and getting piece by piece little by little. Told the breeder I would be back when I was ready to get one and have been in contact with him for advice throughout the process. Finally got everything together and the dubias should be in today or tomorrow. Sorry for the long backstory.
My question is this. He has a clutch born may 13th and one july 2nd. Plus there is another breeder that has some a month old that we went check out last week. What would be the best age group to get one from? The babies or one of the older clutches where they are more used to being handled and eating veggies? Hoping to go get our little Pepper (yes my son already named it before even picking one out) this weekend or next. Just don't know which age would be good for a first reptile owner. If up to my son he wants the smallest one possible. Will try to upload a picture of the enclosure. Thanks for reading all this and for any advice given.
