Hey guys what are the pros and cons of owning a bearded dragon
SERIOUSLY - the cost is minimal compared to other critters. i know folks who spend a LOT on their cats and dogs. Pros ? they're amazing creatures God has given us. What a blessing to be allowed to share their lives and care for them.
Oh and I have two more years to go to graduate from high school
I know. I just want you to really think your future and the future of your bearded dragon that you want to get. I don't think your mom wants to take care of it when you can't. It's a commitment. I am a lot older than you and I can't go on vacation longer than a few days because I don't have anyone to take care of my reptiles.
I know a lot of animals get abandoned. I just read a somewhere that said in college towns when kids go home for the summer, if you go by the garbage cans you will find cages and tanks and some times they find reptiles and birds and what not because the kids just leave them behind. I'm not saying that you are irresponsible, I don't know you, but it's something to think about. There are some kids that do wan to do right by the animals. I talked to a lady in a craft store a few months ago who's nephew lived in a dorm and he had an iguana. He couldn't keep the iguana in the dorm so she offered to keep it in her house until he graduated. When he graduated he found a place to live that accepted animals and he took the iguana with him. Of course by the time he graduated, she was totally in love with it and was sad when he took it home with him!
Yea I see your point im probably not gonna live in a dorm but in a apartment that or living with a friend the college I want to go is very far away I already plann what im gonna do when it time for me to go to college but I would never abandon my pets
