Should you get a bearded dragon or a tortoise?

Answer 1

i own both, they are the only reptiles i own, but i would have too say it depends on what you want.

bearded dragons eat allot( about 6locusts a day)

you bath them at least once a week

they need allot of social time with you, and get scared easily, puffing out it bearded that will go black when scared.

but they get too know you, you bond with them, and they get too love you, they also are awake at day (leopard gecko's are nocturnal) so you can watch them during the day rather than watching a sleeping gecko

they need the vets allot more than gecko's

Leopards gecko's

eat about 1-2 locusts a day

never need a bath but you can give them one. (bearded dragons need a bath as they do not drink out of a bowl, and a bath encourages them too drink)

hardly ever need the vets

can be left weeks without being handled and still be friendly, never get scared, never bite.

do not bond with you, do not really care about you or who is feeding them.

RE:actually bearded dragons CAN drink out of a bowl but they have to get inside the bowl to drink it so it has to be BIG

Bearded Dragon from my experience because they are nice, fun, and the look really really cool. Also they live longer and don't get sick very easily.
