Hello! I am looking to become a bearded dragon owner in the next month or so. I live in the middle of Nebraska and I am unsure of where to purchase my first bearded dragon from. I have looked through other discussions and a lot of the posts about online breeders are from a few years ago so when I go to their websites they are out of date . I would love to be able to go in person to get my bearded dragon but I don't think there are any breeders near me. So with all that said, could someone please help me find a place to get a bearded dragon. Thank you in advance!
Do you want to order one? There are people on the forum that have ordered theirs-- or you can look for a mom and pops store that might be breeding them - you can try a vets office that might know of someone who breeds them or a rescue center-- they would be a good place to start as well -- adoption would be a good option -- so many beardies need new homes --- what ever you decide make sure you start w/ the correct husbandry ---- NO coil UVB's --- and please ask questions --- we can recommend things to buy and what not to buy right off the bat so your not wasting money and time ---

Thank you! I will check out what my local vet says. I currently have found a reptile tank on facebook that’s 38x18x12 and it comes with lamps and everything. I do want to buy my own stuff so I will probably ask more questions later. Thank you so much!
If you are still looking and ok with ordering online for overnight shipping there are a few diffent places I have gone through and can advise on my experience.
http://www.fireandicedragons.com/ is a breeder that cares so much on the babies they produce they had me send pictures of a proper setup before shipping. This was my first online experience and I felt like they really cared that everything went perfectly after the sale.
http://www.carolinaclassicdragons.com/ is another breeder I have gone through for 2 of our dragons. David the main one in charge worked with me so that I purchased the one listed that I wanted but with my questions picked up on another that he had that wasn't even listed that I would be interested in and offered that one to me anyway. (thats my 2 year old female citrus tiger) was one of his hold backs that would have become a breeder for him.
