HI Everyone. While although I'm not new to lizards - caring for iguana's, boas, and anoles I am new to BEARDIES! Can anyone tell me the basics I'll need to knoow about when I eventually buy one.

1) LIGHTING (I'm in OHIO so sunlight in summer is only 2-3 mos.)
2) DIET
3) ENCLOSURE TYPE
4) HOW HARD ARE THEY TO CARE FOR? Are they easily handled?
5) ARE THERE DIFFERENT BREEDS? WHICH IS BEST?
6) Actually buying one. What to look for when I do!

Suppose that will do it. Anything else you'd be able to tell me
along with those things to start out would be great. Thanks and look forward to posting here in the future...

1) LIGHTING (I'm in OHIO so sunlight in summer is only 2-3 mos.) >> answer to both of these is VERY EASY! My children handle all of my dragons and also the babies before I sell them
5) ARE THERE DIFFERENT BREEDS? WHICH IS BEST? Many different spcies, but I generally like the pogona vitticeps the best.
6) Actually buying one. What to look for when I do!.... reputable breeder who doesn't just breed for mass quantities. nice skin with no visible sores, etc. Healthy appetite and NO runny stools. A lot more to look for, but this post would take you 4 hours to read.

You can check out my site for care info and my list of needed supplies, etc.
