my new pets (bearded dragons)

[nu2salt]

hey guys i just wanted to show off my new pets
i traded a 38 complete setup for 4 of these guys and 2 complete cages.
i have never kept them before but i have an iguana that is 3ft. so they can't be that different.
but any advice or comments r welcome.

Neat!
I'd get some books on them.
I doubt a bearded dragon and an iguana are as similar as say a beagle and a labrador.
I think of them more as a tang and a clownfish.....
Just to be safe..
What are their names?

One of the guys in our house in college had a pretty large one. Thing would take down mice like crazy. From what I saw, Bowser was very happy and thriving and the care didn't seem too rough.

My dad was working on a house for some people over the summer that had a couple. He said they would take them out and walk them around on leashes.

I have one. VERY easy to care for. Juvies need a mix of crickets and greens. As they get older they become more herbivorous<sp> and depend less on crickets/mice. They will still welcome them of coarse and should be fed, but they are not required as often. Mine is about 18" long and is 8 years old. I think life span is 8-12 years but I'm not certain on that. Very easy to handle and for the most part are very accepting of it. Somewhere in the blur of college a while back, I feel guilty to say, old Spike(clever name huh

) went months without being held. When things got less crazy I went in and just picked him up one day as if I've been doing it every day. They are very nice in that way. Small enough to be kept in their little place and be fine but also very willing to be let out and run around.

hold them every day so they don't get mean
