Hello everyone!
I'm here to better understand the animal my wife has been absolutely crazy about. We have a number of other reptiles but no dragon, yet.. I build custom enclosures as a hobby so the promise has been once I can better understand the care taking of this particular animal, we can get one..
Little does she know I've been designing a dessert themed enclosure right under her nose and I'm here to gather more knowledge about these little guys while I prepare the surprise "beardie-shower"!! :lol: :lol:
You have no idea.. I'll earn an infinity stone for this one I'm sure!! And thank you so much, I greatly appreciate it! I am here in florida so any help is appreciated.
At the moment I'm trying to understand the different types of bearded dragons there are and which would be best for her..
Shes a very touchy feely type of pet owner so our turtles and chameleons really dont do justice for her the way our yorky does. I think she likes the dragons more than anything because the fact she can interact and carry around them a lot more than most other reptiles.
Any suggestions with a particular type of dragon that would cater to her affection and packs lots of personality?
I think they are all the same as far as breed. The central bearded dragons are the common ones. There are the Rankin dragons that are like a smaller version. I would probably stick with the centrals, they can get bigger and are easy to find. There are leatherbacks which have less scales and a more smoother skin that she might appreciate. Again it is still a central it's just the skin is less coarse.

Thank you for this insightful feedback! I'm going to start doing some research about these and see what she thinks (subliminally).. the Rankin being smaller actually has my interest more.. how big do they typically get? And how long do they take to grow?
I don't really know much about them, maybe someone else here can step in. I'm sure research will turn up some good info as well. You can search posts on here as well I'm sure there's something here.
