Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ok I know this subject has come up before. But I am ready to buy either a BTS or a Bearded Dragon. I had one BD before and loved her, she was great. Now I want to get another lizard and I am stuck between the 2. I hear BTS make good pets but are a lot more aggressive. My beardie never bite me and I had her 7 yrs. So what are the pros and con to owning a BTS? Are they just as friendly as a BD? Help. . . .

Thanks so Much,

WHAT? Where did you hear that BTS are aggresive. CB blue tongue skinks with exception to the tanimbar species are probably the most docile reptile on the market. I have owned both and now I have 0 BD and 5 BTS.

I'm willing to bet even bearded dragon owners are willing to tell you that for handling a bluey would be superior. And they also seem easier to care for IMO.
