Hi everyone
I am looking to adopt a bearded dragon (you may have seen my introduction post on here)
And I was wondering if you could all give me a sort of beardie shopping list, literally everything even the basics as I want to take this list out with me when I go beardie shopping this week.
Thankyou so much, any help is muchly appreciated as I am now fretting about getting it wrong and accidentally not giving a beardie everything he needs although I have done extensive research ?
