So what's this about Bearded Dragons?

Believe it or not we have been pondering getting bearded dragons for nearly a year. I can't quite remember what started off the idea. it may even have been teh Boothville Primary school summer fete last year where there was a reptile 'zoo' thing. The boys loved all of them. Especially the snakes...

Some time after we took the boys to the repile shop in Northampton - just for a "look-see". Actually we were trying to suss out if they liked the Bearded Dragons. That one kinda backfired because once agian they loved the ..... snakes! in fact they were there working out how long they would have to save their combioned pocket money to afford the cheapest one there. Very sweet ... but there was no way we were having snakes!!

The boys saved their Birthday moneys this year [back in March and April] in the hope that we might let them buy lizards. Cute, eh?

So why Bearded Dragons then? well...

1) They are supposed to be friendly! They like company, make friends with you and will sit on your shoulder and watch TV with you!
2) They are Diurnal. That is they sleep at night. Many lizards are nocturnal.
3) They are the easiest of the reptile pets to keep. So their is some hope for us!

So there you go, we await their arrival!
