Hi all,

I have a young friend (11 y.o. boy) who is looking into his first lizard. We were at a show yesterday and he really wanted a bearide (I have one), but today is thinking a uro. Can you give me any pros or cons into why one might be better than the other? Of course, I know why bd's are good . I had looked inot a uro at one time and decided not to but frankly do not recall why!?

Also, can you direct me to some RELIABLE sites for him (and me) to research? He is planning on getting his herp next summer and he knows the importance of research. He knows my bd, my now deceased chameleon, my tarantulas and has me as a resource.

Oh, apparently a vendor told him that uro are stricly vegetarian - is this true? That is one of the more appealing aspects for him and his Mom! They don't really want to do the insect thing

Thanks, and I am sure he and/or I will be back asking questions.
