I'm not unfamiliar with beardies but I've never personally owned one so I'm looking for advice such as what should I look for when I go to get my first one? I'm very interested in the beardies that are more brightly colored(citrus, sandfire, and if I ever find one in my price range a blue or black one) but I'm unsure if they have different temperaments or needs according to their breeding. I know that they need fresh fruits, veggies, crickets, dubia, mealworms, and some people give them small mammals but what things should I avoid at all costs? I'm familiar with lighting(I used to own an iguana) and I know they like to run and sometimes climb on things, I intend on building the habitat myself so it can be awesome(I really don't believe in keeping animals in tanks that aren't aquatic). I will, of course, be doing my google research as well, I want to know everything I possibly can before I finally choose a beardie. Any advice whatsoever would be gladly accepted. Also, is it ok to use feeding tongs(those giant tweezer type things) in order to give them their assorted bugs or would they likely hurt themselves on it? I like the idea so that there aren't excess insects to chase after it's done eating but unsure how wise of a plan that would be. I'm also curious about substrate, I heartily dislike astro turf as a cage liner, but I'm unsure what else would be acceptable.
