That's very cool, Jonah! I would recommend a Beardie to anyone, but they have to realize they require daily care. I don't know of any lizard that doesn't require attention at least once a day, and more often is better. (For feeding, cleaning the cage, etc) No matter which he picks though, be sure to help him research the heck out of it before buying anything...and then to get the enclosure set up before ever buying an actual animal. Congrats on the conversion! LOL
