I was reading some of the posts made when this thread was first started and I would like to thank the person who for whatever reason started this particular thread. I have not gotten my beardie yet,but have been on this site in several different discussions nearly everyday for about 1 1/2 months,(something like that anyway) I have read some heart breaking stories,and have learned alot. I continue to come here everyday in hopes of learning something new ,I want to learn some more and study lighting,feeding tips etc... and make sure I know what I am getting into before purchasing a beardie. There is no doubt in my mind that I want one and the more pictures I see and the more stories I read and information I gather I have to have one. They seem like wonderful animals and every time I am around the dragon that a friend of mine has it is a very calming experience. I love it. Any way thanks for "listening" to me ramble,thanks to everyone for being the wonderful,friendly people that you are. As soon as I get my beadie I will let you know. Thanks for all the help I have already received and I look forward to making more friends and learning more.
