How many Bearded Dragons do you care for / have?

[RelentlessChaos]

Just wondering. I only have one but I see some of you with at least 2. What's it like having more than one? I'd be too scared to have more than one (money wise). & room / space for the tanks.

:shock: That must take a toll on your heating bill!

Myself, I have two adults. At one point in time I had three adults, and really not that much different then caring for one (except the time is doubled!).

 

[jackiesmama]

yes, my electric bll right now is quite high, but it worth it. i love watching these little ones, there so entertaining

 

[CamoLover]

I have 2 now with one more coming Wednesday

 

[bunnyrut]

I have 2 (1 year apart).

If i had the room i would get more.

in the future i do want to mate them and have babies, and i have friends who are dying to get the offspring of Mr Dargon and Tasty Treat.
and i would probably keep at least 1 baby from their clutch.

i order the food in bulk so it doesn't cost too much extra.

plus setting of feeder colonies helps with costs.

and selling stuff helps pay for everything. (too many feeders? sell some!!)

I have 6
i buy in bulk for food and am breeding my own roachs so that cuts down on cost

The total BDs in my house is 5. 4 of which are mine and 1 of which is my hubbys. They are all equally loved and spoiled. Guiness is the youngest and Leo our oldest

I have two. Ruby, whom is my first ever; a female beardie who turned 3 years old in November. I got her in my branch of a chain of petstore who breed their own dragons. She wasn't been looked after at all, being housed in a vivarium with two rather large Schneider's skinks. I had done research before getting Ruby, all of which was done on here (thank heaven's for that) and knew that a LOT was wrong; so there was no hesitation in bringing her home. Fast forward to to the present, a Ruby is one BIG girl. She is very healthy; eats great, poops regularly, sleeps perfectly & gets a much play time and running around out of her viv as my time shall allow.

My second; his name is Steve. He's a nine month old, whom I rescued recently; very skinny and small for his age. I won't go into details here, as I planning on making a new thread for Steve and his adventures, but his living conditions were horrendous. However, he's settling in better than I thought; he will NEVER turn down a cricket, and almost every day is green's are gone. I mean literally GONE. He didn't poop for about a week, but upon sustaining a healthy diet; has begun pooping regularly and as far as my knowledge goes, it looks healthy as can be, as of late. More to come on Steve soon, so keep an eye out for his thread when I get the chance...

So, yeah. Two... for now. I have some eh, strange feeling that Ruby & Steve aren't the last in my clan. Some strange reason. :roll:

LOL, I understand that. Keeping lizards seems to be an addiction.

I have one bearded dragon, Baldric. I'm a gecko person who wanted to try a bearded dragon for some time, but things kept happening at the last minute and I wasn't able to get one. Then I saw Baldric on line and knew he was the one. He has a comical personality and I love him, but I don't feel a pull to get another bearded dragon. Besides, I'd need to either add on to this house or buy a larger one to fit more reptiles.

I have 4 -- 3 adults and 1 baby.
When I got Pookie, I never ever thought I'd have more than 1, but ~2.5 years later, not only did I add one more, but I ended up adding 2 in a 6-month span (one was suppose to be a temporary foster, but I fell in love with her and just had to keep her).
Of course, the cost of feeding went up but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, since I buy the feeders in bulk.
Then, 2 years after that, I was rewarded with a beautiful baby girl. She's Pookie and Digi's baby.

Everyone gets the same amount of love and attention. No one ever goes without.

At this point in time, I am not planning on adding anymore to my crazy family. (keywords - not planning on :wink

 

[babyheartthrob]

I have 4 babies
Draco; 8 months, Hermione; 7 months, Tonks; 5 months and Hagrid; 5 months 8)

I'm currently thinking about adding to the brood (waiting to hear if a girl at the local petshop is really not able to take care of her beardie :roll:, if I don't hear from her soon I found a beautiful little one online that is calling to me :lol: )

I have 2, a 6 month old named Stubs and a 3 month old named Phoenix aka Baby, and eventually want to add another but the next one will definitely be a leather back! Plus I don't mind the food cost except when I run out of phoenix worms and have to buy crickets....I hate crickets!!

 

[SkeptiBee]

Some of you must be in monstrous houses to be able keep that many dragons! I feel bad because my little guy looks like he needs more space and I just don't know where to to put a larger viv!

I just have Hermes. Two days and counting, but I can already see why people get addicted by these little guys and end up with so many!

64 dragons if you count all the babies. There are 4 whole rooms of the house dedicated to dragons or feeders, plus we have a few in the living room as well. I spend about $350 on food every 7-10 days or so. My electric bill is usually somewhere between $500-600. It takes me 3-4 hours in the morning just to prepare and feed everyone their greens and protein and clean poop. I spend about 9-10 hours a day on my kids, aside from my regular full-time job. I am a busy guy, and a broke one, but they are all worth it.
