Well, there are a variety of morphs for both, and they are both pretty easy to come by, this is how I see it. Where I live, you have a couple of choices. You can do mail order (I don't think I would like to do that, just not my thing), or search the local petshops, reptile shops, breeders, etc. I have heard lots of stories of people going to petco (the better petcos, I only shop at the one around here that actually takes good care of their animals. I don't like to support the chain though), and finding otherwise expensive leo morphs for as low as $25. There does happen to be a local petshop around here that doesn't usually carry much as far as morphs go, but sometimes you can see some great ones up for sale. The prices are high but the animals are always in great condition. They almost always have beautiful red beardies for $145. Them and another local reptile shop can pretty much get you any nonvenomous animal you want, but I don't think they can really guarantee anything as far as morphs go.

So basically, where I am, I guess beardies are easier to come by? I'm just saying that because like I said, the local petshop always stocks some beautiful reds. Not really much of a morph though. The only really outstanding looking animal I saw locally so far was at the same place. it was a leo. I can't remember which morph it was, all I remember is it was patternless, but it had a greenish whitish tint to it instead of the standard yellow.

Over the internet though they're about equal, dispite the fact that there are more leo morphs out right now than there are beardie morphs (as far as I know).
