Is keeping a bearded dragon easy?
A Beardie is a living animal and thus keeping one should not be taken lightly. It also depends on the age of the Dragon. Beardie's make good starter pets for people who have never owned a reptile, so as long as you have the dedication needed to care for a living animal it should be fine. They do require a uva/uvb light over their tank, which can be expensive to maintain. These lights are tricky to use because they will continue to work until the bulb burns out, but after a couple months will stop giving off the uva/uvb rays the beardie needs. Many a reptile owner has gotten their animal sick because they thought that since the bulb was still lighting up, it was still working properly. This is not the case, so if you purchase a beardie, please do not make that often fatal mistake. They need to be played with regularly as well or they can and will develope an attitude :)
