As Pets...

Bearded dragons make great pets. Most of the species have been highly domesticated, and they don't require a lot. They are very gentle, and usually are fine with just sitting around. Eating a variety of food, including salad mix, worms, and crickets, among other things. Tired of getting reptiles that are nocturnal? You don't have to worry about that with the dragons. Although they still sleep a lot, they active during the day. Seeing as how they are from the desert, they do require heat lamps, which aren't very expensive. You can typically find the dragons for anywhere around $90-$150, depending on the age and where you get it. Since they don't get to large, you can suffice with a 10 gallon tank for most of the time.
