Currently got two among a collection of 14 animals most reptiles, both are rescues and one only has 3 legs.
Easy to keep and fairly robust in terms of a first foray in to the reptile world.
They need a decent sized tank mine are in 4ft tanks, with heating and lighting. They eat a mixed diet of live food and greenery. Ours are on carpet tiles as a substrate but their are lots of options some good some bad.
There’s always bearded dragons on various Facebook rehoming sites, as well as the RSCPA reptile centre just outside of Brighton or the National centre for reptile rescue in Kent amongst others.
I would go for a rescue over one in the shop for a couple of reasons, firstly size when you buy them in the shop they are fairly small and tend to be fast and can take time and work to be handled. Secondly cost the price of a bearded dragon has gone up massively in the last few years from sub £50 to £120-150 for nothing special if you want a fancy morph then you can spend a lot more.
There’s lots of good care sheets online such as these https://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/hel...egory/lizards/
