The only worry about finally deciding to go and get a beardie is the cost of feeding him. I've read here that most people will feed their beardies 50 to 100 crickets a day or more if they eat more than that in 15 minutes. At that rate with crickets costing 10 cents a piece, that can add up to...

What a sweetheart! Looks like she enjoyed her Christmas :)

Thanks Livey, I will check out that thread. Thanks to everyone else who posted also. I was trying to adopt a 2 year old dragon but that fell through. I posted about it, I didn't feel he was in good health and the rescue agency withheld information from me about his past health. Dana

does it take to feed a young beardie? I know that young ones eat more crickets, worms, etc? From reading all the feeding topics on this forum, I started figuring out how much it would cost per month to feed a beardie and I almost fell off my chair! I don't have a beardie yet and am really...

That was a really cute video. Looks like he got them all. Great job! Dana

Is there anyplace I can get a 40 gallon tank without spending $100? I've checked Petsmart, Petco, Target, Walmart. There are some on Craigslist but they go fast, I've missed out on two already. Any suggestions? Dana

LOL! I didn't think this was the norm but I thought I would just throw it out there. Good to know about the parasites. Thanks.

I don't have my beardie yet so I can't tell you from experience what is going on. BUT I've had one person tell me that adult beardies smell bad. Like they had to move theirs to another room because it smelled up their bedroom so much. Also was told that their beardies poop smelled really bad...

So I am in the process of adopting a 2 year old beardie from our local pet rescue. His foster dad contacted me and told me all about the beardie and his set up, feeding schedule, etc. One thing that I'm not sure about is that he said I would need to invest in a high quality UV heat lamp since...

Thanks for confirming what I thought could be better about his environment. As much as I hate to, I'll tell her about needing to get the UVB right away and that a bigger cage would be ideal. This sucks though as I don't even have a beardie yet and I know more about what they need than they do...

I'm trying to adopt a beardie from our local rescue so I don't have one yet but..... I just went over to my neighbor's house who has been taking care of a friend's beardie, he's probably about 8 months old and very friendly. I was interested in seeing him and talking to them about his care...

That is really cute...great wave!! Dana

It will be a little while before I can post pics. Going out of town in two weeks and don't want to leave the little guy in someone else's care while I'm gone. So probably looking at getting on the first of November, I can't wait!! I will post when I get one. Thanks!

I don't know about your question but your new little guy is beautiful! Dana

I just heard back from the local breeder that I contacted so I am going to check out his facility and beardies in person! YAY! Will post again when I get my little guy (or girl) :)

I thank you for all the advice given on my thread. I'm not sure which way to go here. After talking with the head guy at Petsmart, he told me all the right things regarding care and set up for the beardie (it all matched with what I've read and what you all have told me). I'm not rushing...

Thanks everyone for your replies. This will be my first beardie and I honestly would like to get one that is atleast a few months old rather than only 6 weeks old. The ones they have at Petsmart are sooooo tiny! I have handled these little ones a few times when visiting the store and they...

I'm looking for a beardie to buy and I've checked out major pet stores along with breeders. Breeders are alot more expensive than pet stores which I can understand but I want to know if buying from a pet store is usually okay. The guy I talked with at the pet store seemed really knowledgable...
