Today I was walking around Petco and looking at the reptiles. I "happened" to overhear a lady talking to an employee about bearded dragons. The employee was showing her the kits that go for 190, and telling her it had everything except for the bowls and the sand she needed. Then she showed her the dragons which wer 60. All in all she told her she needed to spend close to 300 on a bunch of crap. The lady said she was going to call her husband and the employee walked away. This was when I stepped in. I approached the lady and told her that I have been keeping them for a while and told her that all that stuff was really expensive and that petco employees have no idea what they are doing and her dragon would die if she kept it like they were telling her to. I referred her to this site and she seemed very appreciative. She then told me it was going to be for her 8 year old sons birthday and asked me if he could handle it and if they are good pets. I told her he could if she helped him and that they are great pets. I think she is going to learn how to properly care for it and get it from a breeder . I cost petco about 300 8)
