I have always, always wanted a bearded dragon. I'd definitely get an adult one, but I think right now, I'd much rather get a baby one and raise it myself. I have a crested gecko right now, and I've owned reptiles before, but never a beardie.



So I have three questions, and if you have any info that can help me, please let me know.



I have plenty enough money to keep my beardie fed and happy but I need to spend as little amount as possible to set up his tank and to buy him. So...



1. Does anyone know a breeder (that's local to me or ships) or reputable pet store (near Cleveland, OH) that sells inexpensive but healthy babies? I've seen a few different places, but I'm not sure who's reputable.



2. What type of lighting do I need (the limited amount to still keep him healthy and in good shape) for my beardie's set up?



3. Where can I get this lighting inexpensively?



Please help me! I've always wanted one, and I just feel now is the right time to buy one. Thank you!
