Ok, I really want to get a beardie soon, when i can afford it, but I don't really know about what kindofthigns they need, such as substrate etc. also, is it better to have two so that they can keep each other company?
thanks :) x |

When you buy two from a shop young as they are cheaper, most of the time you end up with two males. If you want two, it's got to be females or a male & a female. I think even the females tend to have one dominant & may have little disagreements sometimes.

the link above ^ may help
they are really nice lizards & get so tame. They seem to enjoy interaction with you & look out the viv at you to get your attention.
I kept mine on childrens play sand with assorted rocked (flat & boulder-ish), then had thick tree branches stripped of any bark, small watre dish, few hides. One can be damp or you can spray every now & again to help with shedding. they eat livefood, veg, fruit (not citrus) dandelion flowers & leaves (need to be washed). You will have to look up a chart for nutritional values as I have lost mine. It's like a chart which will tell you what's good & what's bad. I know spinach is, but off the top of my head I can't remember any others. Some may only ever eat live food, some may eat more fruit & veg compared to live food, but generally they eat a mixture. Bbys tend to only eat live food & start on fruit & veg as they grow bigger.
anyway check the link & see what you come up with - good luck

Your animal WILL die even though it says it's safe on the pack & even some pet shop owners recommend it. DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!
