someone starts charging people for the information that was not even theirs to begin with.

Just be careful, there are people that will exploit others because some owners do care.

Good proper care of bearded dragons is available online for free, from experienced and knowledgable people who have done the actual studies and worked in the field of proper husbandry, I was just warning others not to be conned into parting with their money for the same info that is available from the originating sources, not some who advertized to sell it online.

Here's a cute Dragon to cheer you up!
