From years of growing up with dogs. As a kid thru my teens I will always remember my first personal pets. My first which was a Male Beta Fish named Viper. Then buying my first hamster, a Syrian named Oreo. To my first big pet project a 45 Gallon community fish tank w/ predators. Though I was never able to merge into the reptile side of animal keeping.
Now that I am older and have moved. I am finally able to start branching out and into the scaly critters worlds that I love. At the top of that list being Tegus & Reticulated Pythons, though they will come in the late future. I am starting with a pair of Bearded Dragon Hatchlings from a breeder I met on MorphMarket.
I'm going to start my introduction to the reptile lifestyle with hatchlings, two siblings.
Male and female pair, male hypo leather 50% het trans (in full body shed, tail should be fresh shed) and female normal 66% het hypo 50% het trans that looks to be starting a shed on her head. Female is a month older than the male, but from the same parent pairing. Which are being sold to me for $300. Update Only buying one and will purchase a 2nd once I have a separate setup.
At the moment I am currently talking to Cliffside Exotics. Owner is Cher Cloughley @ http://CliffsideExotics.com & Facebook http://Facebook.com/SDCliffside .
Still going through guides and researching everything I will need for their arrival and coming life. I will list what I have so far below for my set up and care, an If I am misinformed about something or am going off outdated advice, please do tell me! I've read and watched hundreds of guides and care videos and everyone has very different styles and opinions through their own experiences. All advice and criticism is very happily received and appreciated.
