Hello,
Soon I am getting a bearded dragon. I have never owned one before and my question is this. I found one about two hours away from where I live. He's a little over a year old and comes with a 40 gallon tank and all necessary equipment for $300. Or should a buy a baby...it's slightly larger than my hand nose to tail, and all his equipment from the pet store located in my hometown. This is not a petco type place, it's locally owned and operated. The lady who owns the store is definately not a beardie expert but not a complete ***** either. She does have her babies on crushed walnut, I know this is highly debated, and she is feeding them 3/4 inch crickets, and some greens. I have seen them eat and they look okay, but I am a little concerned with how they are being kept. Any advice? Which would be the better route for someone whose never owned a beardie? Thanks A BUNCH!
