Well I do not own a crestie and I can tell you....I never really wanted a beardie. But my son always wanted one. After about a day....OMG...cannot imagine life without my little man. He is hilarious and seriously I could start a whole category based on Bob the Beardie and his antics. They are hilarious and the topic of conversation most of the time here. I can tell you...they do demand allot more time than say...the BP's. He eats like there is no tomorrow...which can get a little pricey. Also you will find yourself shopping for greens you have never heard of before and chopping them up everyday. I also would like to say....you will need a reliable pet sitter for him if you go away for a few days. Unlike the snakes ....they need someone everyday.

But with all of that stated.....I would never go back to NOT owning one. They are so worth the effort and give you so much back in terms of interaction.
