well my brother in law gave us an early christmas present....i finally got my bearded dragon.....i'll put up some pics soon.....he gave us a monitor a while back but we don't really like the monitor.....i'm not a fan of overly aggressive animals.....actually i lean more toward snakes but this little girl....we haven't named her yet....is so cool....we've only had her a few hours and she sat in my lap and watched M.A.S.H. with me and we took a tour of the huse together....got to find a home for the monitor.....i think he wants it back anyway....if not we got friends at the pet store who will trade him for crickets and maybe a few fish fror the ribbon snakes......i do have one question....we have a leash thingy for the monitor.....think the beardie will handle wearing it???....we take our ball to car shows sometimes and the kids get a kick out of it so i want to try taking the lizard occasionally
