Hi all,
I have owned leos and cresteds for years, and we also have an outdoor California Desert Tortoise. A pet sitter friend of mine hit me up today because one of her clients is looking to rehome their 2yr old bearded dragon. The current owner says they "just never connected", and my friend clarified that the beardie seems personable enough and its probably the owner just not being interested anymore. My friend asked if i have any interest in adopting, and i am considering.
For those who keep beardies, is there anything you wish you knew BEFORE you got one that you wish someone had told you? Or, are there any best practices/care guidelines I'm unlikely to find in a regular web/youtube search? I will definitely be doing some reading before deciding if we should take him in, but thought I'd do well to right to current keepers to learn from any surprises or mistakes already made by others!
At the moment, I do not know anything about his enclosure, diet, or level of socialization. I am going to go with ym friend when she takes care of him this weekend to meet him and see where his comfort level with handling is at. This was a pic sent to me. As far as I can tell in this photo he seems well cared for
