Do u think i sould git a bearded dragon?

Question

i what one but my mom Sade if i git 5 of y'all 2 say yes then i can

Answer 1

Hmm,

If you very responsible with one or any pet then I would let you get one just dont "accidentally forget to feed it"

It should make a great pet and a nice addition to your home unless you live in like the richest part of the city then it would just look weird...........

Answer 2

From your previous questions I would say, that you want this animal as a toy. You want to take it around with you and show it off. I don't think your ready. But if you are getting one please read what I have posted. It is imperative that you go to these websites, and that you do not slack off.

NO to a baby, MAYBE to an adult (around 14-18 inches). You will probably get it as a baby. Maybe it will be a few days old. As a baby it can eat almost 4 dozen crickets in a single sitting. At 9 cents per cricket that is over 4 dollars a feeding. They need to be fed 3 times a day that it $12 a day x 7 days a week. It adds up. I would suggest that you buy 1000 crickets on the internet. Or maybe silkworms and hornworms, which aren't cheap.

I would suggest you get an adult. Mine eats 2-3 times a week, and he is offered collard greens daily. They need a 40 g breeder tank.

Go to beautifuldragons.com and repticzone.com.

On the first link go to nutrition and scroll down. Feed it anything in green daily. By me collard greens cost $1.29 a pound. They are cheap and mine likes them.

They do bite, they do draw blood. 77% of all captive lizards have one of the 57 strains of salmonella. I would suggest going to the hospital after a bite. Please if you go to those websites, and don't skip out on anything you should be fine.

For a uvb bulb, get ReptiGLO 8.0 or preferably, reptISUN 10.0 (not reptasun).

Answer 3

go for it.

i have one.

and i love him so much.

there very funn.

just be prapared for the expenses

they can get very pricey when you want to give them the proper care.

Answer 4

They are very good beginner reptiles and as long as you will help you mom with the keeping of it, I say yes.  I am including 2 really good websites for you to do more research on them with. Please ask your mom for a book or two on the keeping of them, which you use a reference in case you have questions later and look them up on line as much as you can also.  But please for the health of the little guy, even a baby, DO NOT put him in a 10 gallon tank. It's too small and you could over heat the lizard very easily.  The smallest tank to start with is a 20 gallon and he would out grow it probably within a year and they will need at least a 40 gallon breeder tank when adult.  http://www.beardeddragon.org/

Answer 5

Only if you do all the proper research and get the 250+ dollars worth of equipment before you get the lizard.

Answer 6

If its your first reptile i would recomend a leopard gecko. bearded dragons get bigger and are a bit more tricky to get the vitamins and minerals right in their diet. However its not impossible, just harder then a leopard gecko. but other then that i would say go for it.

Answer 7

I don't think this is a good idea.

Answer 8

You've had like a day to think about this wait a week(at the very least i would really say a month or 2) do loads of research read some books then ask your mum if u can start buy then kit, get all the stuff u need get it all set-up monitor the temps for a week ( to make sure there right) then get a dragon

any when i say everything i mean everything there nothing u can think oh ill get that stat/uv bulb later he'll be ok with out it

RESEARCH SLEEP ON IT FOR A WHILE (I would say a month) THEN GET ALL THE KIT WAIT A WEEK WHILE U GET IT ALL SET UP THEN GET A DRAGON

ive looked through most of your reptile related questions over the last few days i will say u dont seem mature enough to get a lizard the u will have to keep for the next 2 decades

to the mother. u said if u could get people on here to say yes u would say yes. bad advice is given on here on a daily basis i would find a reptile/exotics specific forum get your son to sign up for a while let him plead his case to them see what they say (im fairly sure it will be a similar response to mine)

Answer 9

Answer 10

XOXO

Answer 11
