i know the initial set up cost would be a tad expensive (?), but what would you say is the rough monthly cost of keeping a bearded dragon? how much time do you have to spend with them each day/week?
and are they easy to keep pets? from what i have read they are relatively easy to care for.
always nice to hear from people who actually own them though :) |

| also - strange one - how do you get the live food out of the tub without lots and lots of them jumping out? like say you only need 4 crickets - how do you get 4 out and keep the others inside the box? haha. |

Hi check out mybeardeddragons.com I'm one of the mods and breed them. They are a fairly easy reptile to look after, you would need to do daily checks and change salad daily. A young beardie shall be more expensive as they eat a lot more. A adult would cost around 15-20 pounds a month in just live food bare in mind your electric shall go up a tad as there are more heating/lighting requirements.
Live food can be slowed down by popping the container in the fridge for half hour or so,I then tend to put the required amount in another container/bag with the correct supplement if needed.
All the bestr

Dump the crickets and get into dubia roaches! Better nutrition, hey dont jump or climb and they wont bite your lizard :) I can't stress how good they are enough!
FYI I get mine from http://www.roachcolony.com/index.asp |
