Well i'm 15 and my beardie is happy as ever. I dont think that "teens" are the problem.my Neighbors who are 30 years old hardly even feed theres. It just depends who the person is. If they are responsible enough to know thats its there and living, they'll feed them and give them what they need.i hate to say this to you but i am againest most teens owning b.d's because of the feeding demands and possible vet costs so i cant add to your arguement its average $80 per month in feeding costs
everyones liable to have there own set of issues but i can guarantee that i could go online and find every teenage owner and 75% of them will be housed together in a 20 gallon tank and fed twice weeklyWell i'm 15 and my beardie is happy as ever.

thats true and i can also expect why the parents wouldnt expect him to be able to care for it properly right away. BUT he said he has looked at there info for about a month ad most 15 year olds dont join a forum where they can get useful information, especially a forum meant for bearded dragons. So he seems legit to me. but then again that isnt that much proof. but i think he deserves a chance.everyones liable to have there own set of issues but i can guarantee that i could go online and find every teenage owner and 75% of them will be housed together in a 20 gallon tank and fed twice weekly
well i appreciate your care and concern in these wonderful creatures.its not that i dont trust teenagers its just i dont trust anyone who doesent have a job with money to spend because we all know what it takes to feed these guys teenagers are just the majority of that part and being that he is 15 in most states he legally cant even get a job im all for teens keeping reptiles just not bearded dragons theres so many unexpected costs that we occur and i even sometimes freak out a bit and ive been doing this for quite a while theres nothing wrong with a fish tank or a ball python there cheap easy to feed and less likely to need a vets care
