Bearded Dragons!

I want one bad but i dont want something that is not going to have the right care. How much do they cost with all you need like the cage and lights and everything. Also how much does it cost weekly to feed them. thanks

They are pretty expensive. As an adult they need a minimum of a 40 Gallon Breeder tank or equivalent size cage, UV lighting which must be replaced every six months (if fluorescent) or yearly (if mercury vapor), and they will eat between 500-1000 feeders weekly while they are growing. Adults eat more greens than bugs, so they are a little less expensive to maintain, but they will eat you out of house and home during the first year or so. They are great pets, but they are also a much bigger financial commitment than a Leo.

Yea, unless you found an awesome package deal on craigslist or something... Adult Beardie with big cage and lights. My boyfriends Adult Beardie isnt too bad, expense wise. But I couldnt imagine having a baby right now...
