So my first bearded dragon only lived about five years However my friends snake that he got about the same time I got Basil is still alive and doing great!
When I went to several pet stores to pick out a new bearded dragon, almost all of them in every store looked very unhealthy, BUT there was nothing visibly wrong with ANY other kind of reptile!
All the snakes, geckos and iguanas looked great, and almost all the beardies had cuts and missing toes and discharge from their eyes! So as much as I loved Basil, and how nice Ganta is despite his sickness, I don't think I'll get another one, they just seem much more fragile than other reptiles
And I want a pet that will actually live more than just a couple of years!
