Sorry to hear about your dragon pal

As for leo's, they are lovely, and once you've got the basics right then they are very easy to keep.......but remember they are nocturnal, opposite to bd's, so they out n about more at night.............so many to choose from, prices vary from £20 - ........£££££'s for the newer ones like enigma's etc............size wise they max out at 8-10in approx, unless you get the giants which grow to around 14inch, I think, but someone may correct me on this

Hope this helps

ok is there anythink like them what are out in the day.

[debbie1979]

what about water dragens what they like and how big they go in all ways of holding. feeding and so on.

Not sure on WD's, think they need quite a large enclosure, but more in the terms of height......think they grow to about 20in but again not 100%, but this is mainly tail I beleive.....best thing to do is to have a think about what you may like, then do plenty of research, in the way of reading and asking questions on places like this forum, then decide.......it is hard at times, as if your anything like me, I wanted a reptile badly but wasn't sure def what to get, so I read quite a bit and asked questions, then took the plunge and bought my 1st leo........better to know how to care for them BEFORE buying rather than buying one then learning the basics as you go, because you may end up with an ill rep, which is no good for you or the rep

PS - please don't take this as me having a pop or anything I'm not at all pal.......just good advice I was given at the start so think it's always good to pass it on

do research on all species, dont limit yourself to anything right now.

learn what went wrong with the beardie [despite it not being down to you] and then with new found knowledge you should know what will suit you.

hi the bearded dragen was not my foult and i am little upset people think that but i am sure u dont know what happend or read anythink i was saying on this. i had my bearded dragen off my brother and he was really ill and under wight. was not eating or drinking i done all i can as i am sure the people who was saying this on hear to me will back me up on that.
that poor dragen was not looked aftre by my brother and i am really upset that it was to late to help him out.

i agree research anything that u are interested in first and u will know if it is what u are looking for and if u can give it what it needs.
eg;space/light/heat
