RE: An Urgent Message To All Bearded Dragon Enthusiasts!
Dear Bearded Dragon Lover,
Did you choose a bearded dragon over a cat or a dog, thinking it would be easier to handle?
Are you intending to buy a bearded dragon because it seems like an easy pet to take care off?
Guess what...
You Can’t Be Further From The Truth!
I’ll be the first to admit that I love these bearded dragons, or beardies as I like to call them. I have kept and bred them for over 10 years, which makes me one of the most recognised authorities when it comes to these little reptiles.
But sadly, most people don’t have the same level of knowledge as experts. They buy a bearded dragon from their local pet store and expect it to be as easy to handle as a guppy or terrapin. And they end up making all sorts of terrible mistakes that can seriously harm the well-being of their beloved bearded dragons!
To understand why bearded dragons need such special attention and care, it is important to know where they come from. All of the world’s bearded dragons today originated from the wild, outback regions of Australia... which means...
Bearded Dragons Are Literally
Desert Animals!
Now imagine plucking a bearded dragon from its natural habitat in a dry desert, where temperatures can sore well over 90 degrees in the day and drop to under 45 degrees at night... and putting them...
In Your Garden!
Unless you live in the desert, I doubt your garden has the same kind of conditions... which means you need to “artificially create” an environment that is similar to a beardie’s natural habitat.
It’s just not as simple as throwing them in a cage with some food!
Here’s where all the problems come in. Most people have no idea how to do so... and have no idea of the costs involved! Because of the equipment you have to set up to “mimic” its natural habitat... rearing a bearded dragon can be an expensive hobby!
Fortunately, over my 10 years of rearing these bearded dragons, I have worked out a series of shortcuts and tricks you can use in order to save yourself some serious money... but still provide your bearded dragon with a top-rate, comfortable environment!
You know, you can read countless Internet websites or visit a dozen forums about bearded dragons and still don’t know how best to care for them... because most people writing these websites (or visiting the forums) are just as clueless about what to do!
It’s like the blind leading the blind!
Why learn from newbies when you can have the advantage of picking the brain of a seasoned, bearded dragon owner and breeder... someone who actually does it for a living?
Why worry about doing things right... when you can once-and-for-all, know the proper techniques to care for your bearded dragon?
