Hi all 
I posted a while back for some help on deciding what my first lizard would be and after a long, long time of switching back and forth I have decided on the Pygmy Bearded Dragon to start with, followed by my other love geckoes a while down the track when the pygmys outgrow their tank.
Anyway I have heard that their care is generally the same as your ordinary beardie, and if that is correct I would love to purchase a book I can use as a reference.
So what is your favourite beardie book? I'm looking for a book that covers everything, including breeding if possible. As a newbie though, I don't need it to be so in depth I have no idea what's going on though
I have found a few just searching these forums which all seem reasonabley priced (I'd like to keep it under 30) i.e.
Darren Greens' Keeping Bear ded Dragons
Bearded Dragons Pet Owner's Manuals by Manfred Au
Bearded Dragon Manual (Herpetocultural Library) - Vosjoli, Philippe De New Item
Bearded Dragon - Pet Expert. Understanding and Caring for Your Pet. By Lance Jepson
Any opinions to help my decision?
P.s. just thought of an added slightly off topic question! My current tank is tall but has a 2 piece glass lid that has a small gap at the side (for wires). Should I be trying to make a mesh lid? Do I need much of a lid if its a tall enough cage?...
