Re: Bearded Dragon = Cat??
Bearded Dragons are amazing. I call them scaley puppies. :3 I've had beardies for almost a year now. Scout, my petsmart beardie, is really sweet, never bitten me on purpose(he snagged my finger instead of his squash when I Was handfeeding) he eats superworms which I breed myself.(Only for dragons 15" or bigger...most say 16", but I've been giving them to Scout since he was smaller than that). Their UVB lights can be expensive, but they only need them replace every 6 months.
But Scout is sitting with me right now.
And they do have vast personalities. Scout is pretty cuddly at night, but he loves to run around the living room and hide in difficult palces and sleep.
They also have the most adorable headcock.
Riza, my other dragon, though she likes to run every now and then, she mainly just sits on your shoulder. She's really lazy. they do require big cages and lots of work. Crickets and/or pheonix worms as babies, and they can eat up to 100 crix a day as babies.(Scout did) When they're big enough, I find it easiest to switch to and breed superworms. I'm working on morphing more beetles as mine are dying now. But I was so excited to first see those worms smaller or about the size of this dash: -
Now those worms are about 1-2".
Anyway, I think they're the best lizards. Lots of work, but so totaly worth it. Especially when you get one as a baby and watch him grow. The males also bob their heads and blacken their beards(throats) when they see the females. So scout, who often sees riza, bobs and blackens a lot.
We got Riza as a rescue from the Alley Cat Pet Center from the mall. Awful place. I went there and couldn't tell if one of their BP's were asleep or dead. But it was skinny and not healthy looking. It was all spread out at the front of the cage away from it's hide with at least 4-5 other snakes in there, including an albino burmese python.
But, Riza was sick when we got her, but we've brought her back to health and she's so happy now. :3
I'm wanting to try out Ball Pythons next, once I can convince my dad. XD
Oh, and I forgot to add, that Scout actually sleeps on my bed with me at night now. ^^
