Re: Bearded Dragons
90% of the time your first one will die way prematurely because you did somethign wrong. just do a TON of research, i bought 3-4 books before i bought my iguana and my first one died in a year, its life not much youcan do about it.
once you find out what they like and dont like it is the lowest maintenece pet you can have

Re: Bearded Dragons
I "had" two Iguanas but we lost one in last years hurricanes. First hurricane blew the door off her cage in very mild winds. Second hurricane she got loose and havent seen her since. The little one Larry, as you can see is about 16" but much more now. He was about 1 1/2 years old there. The big one Lizzy, we had for 3 years but we dont know her age. She was a rescued Iguana from a dog attack. Very scarred up and missing a good 3/4 of her tail. My oldest one who was 14 died a few years back. He was a monster at just over 6 feet. I wish I had more pics of him. Beardeds are cool but not as friendly and lovable as an Iguana. Yes iggys can and do show affection. Trainable too!
