Hello,

I'm 24 years old and an old hand with reptiles. I was raised around snakes and bearded dragons as a child. I owned and cared for a few myself, plus my siblings when they wouldn't. My father bread and hatched a few cluthces of bearded dragons. He did the work, but I kept an eye on them and learned alot about the things needed to hatch dragon eggs.

I have a 4 year old who wants a pet. Our dragons were great. I heard frilled dragons made great pets to and had the same temperment. I was just wondering if this is so. Would it be a good first time pet?

Of coarse mom would be doing the work. But the idea behind it would be to introduce my child to caring for something and responcibility. I know my spelling sucks. Sorry lol.

If this would be a good first pet; what do I need to know about them? What kind of set up do I need? I know what to look for in reptiles/animals, but is there anything specific I should be looking for or be cautious of in frilled dragons? Does anyone know of any reputable breeders in the So. California area? About how old should a hatchling be? How suseptable are hatchlings to dying early. The first time we got dragons 3 out of 4 died. And my own draon died about 2 weeks after I had it. I have heard alot of that from others is why I ask. However the 4 cluthces we had 100% survived.

Thanks for everyones help.

Jessy :D
