I have two beardies. The male's name is Berko (australian for crazy, and he is). The female's name is Sooky (australian for gentle).

:banghead:

No, like I told Spyder (AKA Brian), I do not know this person, I just don't think people should make general judgements about things until all the facts are known. For all we know these guys will be in an enclosure behind some glass out of reach of tapping fingers and such. Then again, it could...

I guess by knowledge, I meant knowledge that these creatures even exist. Some can't have an interest without the knowledge of existence, but yeah I like the way you say it better. Anyways, cheers!

I agree with what you have said. As for the tapping, when he wrote that, I was picturing someone tapping a table with their fingers and staring, not tapping on glass. Lost in translation I suppose. I agree with different terms of motivation for some, but if they are cared for properly and...

You said tapping fingers, not tapping on glass. That's a different story. Besides, the feel I get from you is that it's upsetting that they be labeled and marketed as freaks. I think you are generalizing this guy as someone who isn't going to take care of them based on some experience you may of...

Once again, I doubt the bearded dragon cares so much about ridicule, glaring eyes, and tapping fingers as you seem to.

Fair to the animal? First of all, I doubt very seriously if a bearded dragon cares that it's been labeled as such. Secondly, If the lizards are getting the care they need, then who cares if this guy charges admission to see them? There are far more serious things that happen to beardies every...

These beardies have been sold to that company. The guy that bought them paid like 5,000 for them. He shut his business down just to take care of them. Since most frogs and lizards are considered display type pets, I don't think it an injustice to keep them in this manner just so long as they are...
