There are some things you’ll want to look for when purchasing your new bearded dragon. The signs I’m going to talk about should help you out when picking that new pet reptile.

In a perfect world every bearded dragon at a pet store would be healthy and ready to take home. We all know this isn’t a perfect world, so before we lay down our hard earned cash we need to know what a healthy dragon looks like.

When you go to buy your new beardie, make sure you go armed with knowledge. This will help you get the best possible bearded dragon. If you are buying from a breeder, they might even help you pick out that perfect dragon.

Internet Purchase

If you plan to purchase your bearded dragon over the internet, these things might not pertain to you. When you buy online you are trusting what the person selling the dragon tells you. This might make you a little uneasy, and rightfully so. Though, don’t write this option off so quickly.

There are great breeders who only sell their healthiest dragons, and you usually will see a picture(s) before purchase. I have bought bearded dragons and other reptiles online and found it a great way to go. Though, be careful and stick with breeders you know or have heard good things about.
