Hi All,
Sorry for the digressive story but here goes...
When My Wife first revealed to me that she wanted to buy me a Bearded Dragon for Our 5th Anniversary I thought it was rather absurd as a gift for such an occasion.... :shock: I find myself contemplating the time it would require to take care of such a companion pet versus the benefits and I really find myself wanting one more and more each day... I don't have any problems taking care of one and the bug thing doesn't bother me at all. I have owned up to eight hedgehogs and they ate meal worms like crazy. I know this is waaaay of topic but it's rather relevant. My Daughter Lillyanna would really benefit from having a Bearded Dragon in the house because she could learn to eventually want to have one of her own and it's very stimulating for her. Also I work nights from 8 p.m. to 6 in the morning so he/she would be up hopefully when I get home in the morning. I don't sleep until 12:30 p.m. so I have the entire morning to socialize and My Wife is more than happy to fill in when I'm not there.
Now getting to the main reason I started this new topic. I really want this new companion pet to be very comfortable, and getting the biggest tank possible without actually needing to move into a three bedroom apartment isn't a problem. I know that getting a small tank at the beginning really isn't an option since I'm only going to have to get another one in a few months. Perhaps a small one for feedings might be appropriate since I have been reading that no one likes to have to go hunting for feeders if your beardie doesn't go after them. I don't want to risk the little one getting bitten in the night since they will be asleep.
And finally My Question of the day......Are there any really good places in Toronto where I can get a really big tank at a good price. I'll even travel to get it. I have highway access everywhere mostly because I live in the centre of the universe... I'm thinking a nice little 10 gallon deal for feedings and a nice 40-55 unit for the main domicile, perhaps even closer to 60 gal. I plan on looking at places and perhaps getting some contacts established for when we pick the little one up. I just wanted to see if any of the Canadian members of this forum could make any suggestions. I know that shipping a tank isn't an option....waaaay to costly so this is the only option for now.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
