Meet Dragon!  My son received this Bearded Dragon from his Daddy for Christmas!  When hubby told me what he was going to get Elijah, I freaked!!! I told him go ahead, but I'm not cleaning that cage or feeding the little guy.  This little guy will grow to be 1 1/2 - 2 feet long!!!!

Well, after having Dragon for a few months, I have come to love the little guy.  He is getting bigger each day.  I now hold him daily and feed him!!  He even responds when I call.

He is becoming quite the hunter.  We started out feeding him meal worms, but he was not satisfied, so now we feed him crickets.  It was funny to see him with the crickets at first.  Since we got him as a baby, he hadn't had experience with hunting.  He was very clumsy at first, trying to catch the crickets.  But now he is getting the hang of it and his much thicker middle shows it!!

So, the next time you want to get a new pet, think about a Bearded Dragon, they really are cute. And if held from day one, will let you handle him without biting (even when he's 2 feet long!!!)  They have a personality of their own!
