Glad to see you here! Thank you for doing research before acquiring one of these awesome pets! I suggest investing in "The Bearded Dragon Manual" by Philippe de Vosjoli, et al., 2001. It can be purchased used for a reasonable price @ Amazon. I've also included a link to Katherine Tosney's site, which is very informative. Feel free to post any ?s you might have here on the forum, as there are many wonderful, knowlegable people here to help! I look forward to reading more from you as you embark on a wonderful new relationship with a new dragon!
Slave to 6 beardies, 2 igs, 2 butterfly agamas, & 2 dogs!
