i really wanted a reptile, but i wanted one that was pretty social. I went to petco today and talked about all these different lizards, but none of them seemed too friendly. He recommended the bearded dragon and the chinese water dragon, but, he said they would not be as social as a cat or dog. But after reading some of the stories, i realized they are just as loving! and now i want one so badly. Got any tips for a new person? I want to make sure my future bearded dragon is happy and healthy! How do you get your bearded dragon to be so attatchd to you in the first place? Does it bite often? Oh, and crickets reallly freak me out, but if it is necessary for my future pet then...I'll just get over it
