Research is always good. And yes time they require would be similar to a dog or a cat but not the same kind of welcome from them. I have a savannah who is around 2' and will lay on my arm and allow me to move him but still not a huge fan and most not going to lie can easliy just not want to be handled where most balls are very timid and bearded dragons are too. I think till you have more expierience time and money i would get the bearded. I think you are starting to see the picture which i will give you props for since a lot of people are stubborn and say you dont know what your talking about i want one end of story but seems like you are thinking logically and is a good thing. Nothing against your friend he may take excellent care of his monitor but from the sound he says its the same as the ball he may not just cause someone owns a monitor doesnt mean they are good owners or have a happy or well taken care of monitor.
