MY 10 year old daughter wants a bearded dragon for christmas, are they a good pet? are they hard to take care of?
lizzy is really easy to take care of, granted, she eats about 7-10 dozen crickets a week, but they are only a dollar a dozen, so its not bad
but they are very social and love listening to people talk, she will just turn her head sideways and listen to you. we gave ours a little hammoch to lounge on lol, but yea, they are great my mom didnt want to get her at first, but she loves her so much now. Just be sure to feed and socialize her, and if you get two get em at the same time, since they grow fast at first, mines probably grown by 4x since we got her in may. but to answer the question, she is easy to take care of. i spent about $400 on light, tank, log, rock, food bowls calcium powder, lizzy, and everything. so its not that pricy either
