Well, beardies are amazing pets! But all of the equipment can cost quite a bit. For a normal beardie expect to pay anywhere between $20-$100. Then for supplies I paid about $230 ($100 cage included). That's about all you will pay initially, but for food they eat a lot. 1000 crickets will last me about 2 weeks, my boy is a PIG! Others are different, but expect to pay ~$15-$30 a month on crickets and and his greens. You could do what I do and breed your feeders, saves you TONS! So, overall, it will cost about $150-$400 depending on what you already have at the beginning, and about $15-$30 every month after that. But definitely worth it!
