    We have two , nice pets , very easy to handle , they are easy to look after and easy to feed , but by far the best info you are going to get will be from Ben in reptile haven in Dublin.
    If your in Dublin just drop in and talk to him. He'll tell you everything you need to know.

    Beardies are great pets, but you need to have a big tank and even then they love to get out for a run around. and if you are going to have them in your bed room you need to think about what you feed them, crickets are noisy feckers and have kept me awake many a nite, so I use locusts now instead. As for price that depends on how old they are and where you get them.Good luck

    Baby beardies are about €75, you could easily end up paying €200+ for a setup

    vivariums are fairly expensive,not for small beardies but when your beardie is an adult it'll neeed alot of space ive 2 beardies,both 1 yr old and i made my own vivarium. it;s 4ft long, 3ft high and 2ft deep.it only cost about 150euro to build.to buy one that size would cost about 4-500euro
