I've got both and am crazy about both but they are definitely way different from one another in every aspect except they both are reptiles.



Honestly the only way I can give you a comparison is in the care and cost of each.



With a beardie you will need to invest more time and money than with a python. A beardie is diurnal as opposed to nocturnal like the python.



Screw it! I say get both! I started out with just a ball and 3 mos later got two beardies. Seriously, though, if you haven't had a pet yet I'd lean towards the python first. The python will not take as much time or money to maintain and will get you some experience with reptiles. This is just my opinion, though, and after reading as much as you can about each you'll have to make up your own mind.



Whatever you do make sure you know exactly how to take care of it. Research, research, research! Both animals will amaze you if you let them.



Good luck with whatever you get!
