[COLOR=Indigo]My son has wanted a bearded dragon (lizard) for over a year now. I've heard it is probably the best reptilian pet you can have. They never bite and are family friendly. I don't take pet ownership lightly so if we do decide to do this we will do it right. I'm just not sure I want to make salad for the thing and buy crickets etc. all the time. Does anyone out there have one? I ran into a friend that has eight babies and she's looking for homes. Christmas is around the corner and I know Dylan would love one for Christmas. I just don't know if I'm ready yet. He's had hermit crabs before and they just totally grossed me out. One left it's shell, kicked another out of it's shell and never found the right fit with another and just stayed out of it's shell and eventually ended up dying. Eeew. Will the bearded dragons do something that will gross me out too? It's hard to get attached to something that gives you the willies. :eek: [/COLOR]
