Anyone have to convince their wives to get a dragon?

[RioReptiles]

Does she ask when she wants something or does she just show up with it? I mean, are you guys really that equal when it comes to making decisions like that? I can understand "major" purchases, things that cost over $1000, maybe even $500. I bet she wouldn't hesitate to get a new washer or dryer if one of them died tonight. It's one of those things. My husband and I always talk things over, but I would never stop him from getting something he wanted badly (although the Mini Cooper S wasn't very practical). It all leads to marital happiness or lack of. She should be mature and be allowed to express her opinion, but it shouldn't get in your way. The way I see it, there is no guarantee we'll be alive tomorrow so enjoy what you can today. A beardie is a fairly conservative choice in comparison to many other animals. Give her a choice between that and a salt water aquarium with all soft corals or something. I'm sure you can find a psychological way to get creative. I'm on your side, I bet you win this one. In the end, I bet she ends up liking a beardie more than you!

Pretty funny posts... if it wasn't for how much my wife took to my son's dragon, we wouldn't be in soooo
deep :shock: 7.12.52 dragons later lol. She love's them as much as me, and it came to a point a couple of weeks ago where I was the voice of reason,"Now honey, we don't NEED a 400 dollar dragon."


I truly believe dragons are a "gateway" reptile... now we have 2 panther chameleons.
