Reptile & Amphibian Forums

pros cons of each species would be nice

I like panther chams cuz the have nice colours, a cooler looking cage (with the trees and such) pluz my dad really seems to like 'em

but I also like bearded dragons cuz u can hold em and such, pluz I like desert lizards

plz help

I don't have a panther, but I have a veiled and a senegal. I also have 3 bearded dragons. I would say that if you want to hold the animal, make it the beardie. I also suppose it depends on your experience. If you have never dealt with a reptile, go with the beardie, they are easier. Chams can be so tempermental. Most do not like to be handled. They stress out so easily. I really enjoy all of my babies. What kind of room do you have for a cage? Beardies take at least a 55 gal tank. Chams needs at least a 3 foot tall tank. Beardies don't need the humidity like chams do. Good luck on your decision!

When I said chams need a tank, I did not mean glass. They need a screen cage. I always just call them all tanks, it's a habit.

thanx

It's just ive been doing ALOT of research for the past 2 months on both species and its bin hard to decide.

thanx

I think im going for the beardy cuz i like to be friendly with my pets (holding, playing etc)

Ive got a dog, cat and chinchilla, i ahve 3 of the most common pets species (Feline, knine and rodent) now ill have a reptile

next step! Frog (for amphibian)

maybe a fish

but not a bird, i hate those damn screeching sounds

Yeah, You definitley shouldnt get a chameleon AS A FIRST LIZARD!!
