Bearded dragons are one of the most popular reptiles to have as pets and for a good reason. Their non-aggressive nature and surprising personalities make them great for kids interested in owning their first reptile. It also takes less effort to care for them compared to a dog or a cat. That said, getting a bearded dragon, or any pet for that matter is a serious commitment. It shouldn't be a decision taken lightly or made on a whim just because it sounds like a cool idea walking around the reptile section of the local pet store. Here are some things that are good to know before buying a bearded dragon.

Adorable little sweetheart!!!!
I have one male bearded dragon, he is almost eight months old and is a little over a foot long right now. He has a forty gallon reptile terrarium, and I use reptile carpet as his substrate. They DO need uva\uvb lighting AND a basking light for twelve to fourteen hours a day. They don't hide very much, but they will need something tall to climb up on so they can sit closer to the basking light. Put the uva uvb light on one side, as the cool side, and the basking light on the other, as the warm side. They eat mealworms, super worms, wax worms, Dubia roaches, and crickets. They need calcium dust about three times a week and a multivitamin supplement about twice a week ALSO. They will just lay on you, they are total couch potatoes and LOVE to snuggle! If you want a sweet snuggly little friend, I definitely recommend a bearded dragon.
