how old?
if its really little consider blocking part of the tank with card board or something for a while until it grows. thats a pretty huge tank for a baby bearded dragon. |

| It's 3 months old. I hope that's ok. The guy didn't say anything about it being too big. Do you suggest blocking it off at that age? |

I had a Bearded Dragon for awhile but gave it to my sister when I moved to school because residence didn't allow for pets.
They are pretty easy to take care of - clean their cage regularly, ensure they have a hot-rock or two, toss in crickets once every few days and keep the water fresh.
You can take them out of the cage and they are pretty timid/relaxed, however if they decide to dart they can move REALLY fast, so I was hesitant to take him out too often. Also, if handling him - be sure to wash your hands after as you can get salmonella.
Also, their poops stink /really/ really bad. But, they are neat to look at, I liked watching him and would take him out now and then. Not exactly a cuddly pet - but if thats what your looking for its a good choice.
Eventually my sister had to put him down because his anus kept prolapsing :( but, he lived for around 7 years I think. |

So tiny, but look so badass.

You can actually get leashes for them. I had one for my iguana. It was annoying as hell to put on though! Haha Most of the time when we let him out it was just around the house in a room, and we'd close the doors.
That cat and lizard picture is so cute. |
