Well, my son got one two years ago. I was a little hesitant at first. We had done the hampster thing and the gerbils and I didn't want anything else, especially something reptillion!! BUT....this has turned out to be the BEST pet. There is no smell and easy to clean. It doesn't bite. Loves to be held, cocks his head like he's listening when you talk to him. We all think he's great. My son has a harness and takes him outside for walks! Like someone else said, I would get an older one (ours was). We got one from the pet store and within 24 the bigger one ate it! (Not knowing we shouldn't have had them together) So, as one mom to another, I would really recommend one. The initial set-up might be a little pricey, but it will be worth it, although I saw Beardie complete set ups at Petsmart. |
