i keep a beardie and my roommate has a bunch of ball pythons. so...
every day i feed the dragon, clean out poop, feed the crickets, change the water, play with the dragon. once a week i check temps, buy more veggies..... its a fair amount of work.
once every two weeks my roommate buys a couple of rats, throws them in the dragon tank, changes the water and poop-scoops.
so dragons are a lot more work - but personally i think they are work it. the snake is not so much fun to play with, and as an adult they will go through a 5 month breeding cycle where they get grouchy and dont eat. dragons dont do that, although they may go into a 2-month brumation (hibernation) each year as adults.
the cage setup for the dragon is more complicated, and more expensive but again i think in the long run you'll prefer the beardie. maybe i'm just biased!! ----- Ross

2.1 Roommates (require more cleaning up after than the dragon)
