Hi there and welcome to the forum. Bearded dragons are really easy pets to maintain. The first year is the most critical and requires the most work, but even that is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Here's a link to an article on our site that lists out what you need to care for your beardie.

Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions!

Good luck with convincing the rents! Maybe if you show them that you've done your research, and provide a list of what is needed to care for your little one, then they will see that you are responsible enough to own a bearded dragon.

The link Renee provided is a good one to get you started. In summary, here is what you need to have:

1. tank
2. proper lighting
3. substrate
4. digital probe thermometer
5. furniture
6. veggies and greens
7. bath tub
8. insects
9. calcium supplement

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

It does seem like a lot at first, I know it did when I got my first bearded dragon, but after awhile you realize that we all have opinions (especially on substrates) and you can find whatever you want on the net. Just think of their natural habitat and combine that with good resources and you will be fine.

Just remember they are not just any ol lizard. For example, dont expect a friend that may have an iguana to be the best advice giver for a bearded dragon. Iguana's like heat rocks, you can't have one for a beardie.

Try to find a herp vet in your area just in case you need to take your bearded dragon there in an emergency.

Learn and have fun!

hey, just checking to see if you were able to convince your parents to adopt a beardie?
