Beautiful animals!
I have never kept one, but a mate has a few eggs in the incubator right now, so when they hatch and I get one I shall let you know Can't wait!

They are the BEST!
I think they usually go for about $600 as hatchies, over $1000 as adults.
Good luck finding them though, not many around, although they ARE there.
Not hard to keep, just very diferent requirements to a beardie. No basking spot, PBT of about 30C, will only eat live food usually, but some will eat fruit I believe. Altogether awesome animals though, 1st on my list when I get my class 2.

My friend will be selling his for around the $350 mark. They are a more expensive dragon.

A member on this site keeps them. Adam (ad) might be able to help out with how to keep them healthy in captivity.
