For me, Alex, I can't imagine life without any beardies in it. It's so nice to come home from work and pick one of both of my girls up to get snuggles from them, even when I have to put a tshirt over their heads to keep them from crawling to places I can't find them. They like to sleep on me without having light bothering their eyes. I hope you do get a beardie in the future, Alex. For Bill and I, they are the best pets.
