I would consider beardies high maintenance pets. Every day they need to be misted for water, fed fresh greens, pellets, and bugs. Beardies require UVB light, so you have to spend extra money on special bulbs. Leos just need a UTH.Originally Posted by jglass38
For my leos, I only really have to make sure they have bugs in the dish and water in the bowl....which basically means with a good supply of mealies and water, I could let them sit for two or three days without having to worry about feeding them or watering them. I have them 'trained' to use the 'bathroom' in one corner of their enclosure, so an extra folded paper towel in that corner allows for extreamely easy cleaning.
