Question
i want two bearded dragons for my children in northport. we're buying a large tank and the equipment you've mentioned. do you sell them? you sound like you care about them. can someone email me info about a good breeder?  bookdave@gmail.com  i don't like the conditions ins some pet shops i've seen.

Answer
 Bearded dragons are wonderful pets, but they are territorial, so you would be better off with one dragon or if you want two, buying two equal set-ups.
 Another thing is the age of your children.  The older the child is the better.  Little children tend to squeeze or react to ways that a reptile may see as predatory.  All care by young children should be supervised and the animal housed in such a way that the child would not have access otherwise.  Especially if you are looking at baby dragons, who are skittery and scared of everything.  I will e-mail you separately in regards to my own information as a breeder.
