dragons are a bit labour intensive when they're little, but adults aren't so bad - less work than cats and dogs
I found the yahoo group pogona
pogona : Pogona - bearded dragons very helpful when I first got my dragon a few years ago and I think they're still a good group
congrats on your new pet and welcome to the forum
you should really consider a garter snake, once you got the hang of the beardie thing
Joe - thanks for that dragon site - some nice info there
