Question by Alex M: How much does a bearded dragon cost to take care of yearly?

I have about 225$ and want a bearded dragon and was wondereing how much the initial startup is and how much it is after that. I was also wondering why my parents won’t let me get one if I pay for it, and all it’s needs and care for it daily.

Answer by Jesse e
bierdies can get quite expensive. lets see if u get one for 50 dollars, and then
get a tank that is twenty gallons thats prolly another forty and then u have to get some things for the tank to have inside for him
sand – 15
hides -5 – 30
heat lamp adn bulb – 20

and then after that u need to keep him on crickets and or greens. they cost very littel per time but can get quite expensve over time.
so initial setup would likely cost you anywhere from like 5 to teh full amount u have lol.

likely ur parents want u to realize what u are getting into and is why whey are tellin u u must pay for it all. they do make great pets tho, and can bring a lot of happieness and if i had 225 saved up id definately get one of my own. i only have a uromastyx and some others but the bierdies are next on my list.
