I have to agree with all of the above statements. The cricket counts are a little high, but its definitely better to figure more crickets than less since they will mutilate their cage mates if they are not fed properly. That said i would say breed dragons as a hobby, and have places that will take the beardeds if you get overrrun. It might not be ideal. you might get $20 each from a pet store, but at least they won't be eating you out of house and home anymore. I've had females lay up to 90 eggs in a season, so just know, it will no longer be your house, they'll have numbers! Also I have to agree if you want to sell the beardeds online and at shows, color is a MUST. Good bloodlines defnitely help since there are so many well-known breeders out there. It really is fun though if you have the time and the money. It's definitely not a get rich quick scheme though. Good luck!

Oh and don't forget the price of caging and lights for 90 plus babies....it adds up....
