So, I got in trouble with my husband today for buying some stuff on ebay for The Liz. He thinks we've spent too much on it already. He doesn't get that there's a lot that goes into taking proper care of a beardie. Plus, he's annoyed by how much research I do to learn more about this pet that we took on. Well, it ANNOYS ME that he thinks it's okay to just have the bare minimum for an animal that is going to be around for at least a decade (if we're lucky). It's a big commitment, especially in the first year. We got it for the kids, but I really wanted it, too b/c I love animals and we arene't allowed to have dogs or cats in our apartment. I'm the one who feeds it everyday and gives it baths, I wake it up in the morning and put it to bed every night.... it's like having a third kid. So, while we say it's for the kids, I see it as really my lizard b/c I'm the only one taking care of it.... RANT OVER.... Sorry
