New Lizard

[coluberconstricter]

I was slowly getting pulled into the life of lizards, so i decided that i wanted to get, a non-expensive, easy to look-after lizard.

Im not sure what is a good choice to start with.

I was thinking that i could go with a "Gippsland water dragon" - $90
"Eastern water dragon" - $69
"Central/eastern bearded dragon" - $???

thanks for the help looking foward to a new lizard....


BTW i live in "MELBOURNE"

i've seen beardies as low as $40 in NSW. my bf got his beardies (central) one red phase and one yellow phase imported from SA through Ultimate Reptile Suppliers. red was 90 yellow was 75. they are great. full of personality and easy to look after
they need a uv light and a heat light or basking light. they also like a rock of branch to climb on under the light to get warm. my bf keeps them on sand, but u can use anything from fake grass to newpaper/ butchers paper. its up to you how much money you spend on the enclosure. they need about a 4ft long enclosure, you could possible get away with one a bit smaller. so thats proble the most expensive part
hope that helps.

Beardies are great pets.

Since you are in Melbourne I would consider the good ol' bluey. You can pick up a blotched at bargain prices down there. The bluey is very underrated as a pet - they are great.
