Bearded Dragons are actually quite cute.
I don't think I'll get a Corn Snake.
Do you think I should get a Bearded Dragon? They live for around 7-12ish years... that's not too bad.
beardies are more expensive to maintain if im honest, 2 box's of locusts a week when adult then fruit and veg also electric is alot more to run with them, maybe this will help you win them over  im 15 and have two snakes and work in a rep shop, if you do your homework and know the commitment then get one. if its gonna be a 1 month thing dont bother |
my aunties, bestfriends, hairdressers, friends boyfriend had a snake and it stretched out to measure him to eat him......true story.....

Nail on the head there! My dad in law was quoted over £300 for a set up today. Absolute poop!! They said he needed all this fancy equipment and a massive Viv! Tried selling it to him today, so he phoned me and asked how much it would be on the net, gave him Surrey pet supplies web addy and was delighted!

Feck beans £300! And I thought my Local petshop was ripping me off for my first snake at £160 :o I think maybe they are pushed to sell though though and can take advantage easy of new reptile owners. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

I know i near spat out ma brew when he said it! I was stunned. But iv given him places to go for stuff and he is going to see about a set up. Also reminded him he is in a city, sure there are plenty of breeders close by where he could get a corn from someone more experienced. |

| Beardies are really fun. But i agree when i say they are more time consuming, and much more expensive than snakes. |

| I bet give or take a few quid a good beardie setup with everything needed, viv, lights, stat, guards, all the different foods, supplements, substrate, bit of foliage and the beardie itself then you would be pushing the £300 mark, add the shopping around delivery charges if you bargain hunted and the everything included route might be a better option, suppose it depends on is everything included. |

| have to agree about p@h being no good with reptiles. over heard the idiot in my local one telling a couple looking at a gecko that it was not shedding well so he had to peel its shed off for it! |
