Help & Advise Needed for fir time owner

[zaskar]

hi all

im new to the forum so first of id like to say a big Hello to you all.

ive been looking at buying or building a viv for the past few months, ive been to all my local reptile shops for advise. some have been ok with me and some dont realy want to know simply because im not buying from them.

so im hoping you guys/girls will be able to help anser a lot of my questions


well first off ive seen a lot of talk about this event a doncaster,(International Herpetological Society Meeting,Sunday 7th September) can you guys tell me more about it and what will be their, im thinking about going and hopefully be able to get the bearded dragon im after.

ive been looking on the net and the main bearded dragon im after is one of the following...
neon yellow
tiger stripe
or
orange fire

but i have no idear what price tag each of them command,can any of u tell me plz

if i do go to this reptile event at doncaster and buy my dragon will i need to take anything to carr/travel back home in, is their anything i need to know.

last question..
i would like to have a few real plants in my viv,something like small palm tree type.because im going to make it look like a desert. quite a few rocks and a corner built up of rocks with a few plants living out of them. so can you tell me whats good and bad and even any "how to" links on what im trying to do would be of great help.

sorry for all the questions but if i dont ask them il never learn, and i dont want to do this wrong as i want a good happy home for my new dragon


thanks you

HI first off if its a true morph you want be very careful people dont try to rip you off selling you dragons with fancy names that mean nothing.

if its a bright dragon and your not bothered about whether it can pas on its colours when bred then chose something you like the look of...

becky wheeler and hades dragons both sell lovely colourful babies but hades isnt breeding again till next year now.. however you can contact becky wheeler through this forum...

there are some nice websites you can check out to see the difference between VERY highly coloured dragons and ones with a little bit of yellow or red..

here for example is a super citrus het snow female bearded dragon who is a morph from fire and ice ( the pic was taken by me so im not stealing anyones piccie lol)



good luck in your search, I waited years for my citrus girl
