Bearded Dragons or Leopard Geckos?

Every curious mind starts with one of these famous reptile pets.  But which is truly the better option for beginners?  Well, the  answer to that question largely depends on the user.  Is this pet for a hands-on child?  Or a relaxed adult?  Is the pet-parent able to spot clean daily?  Or do they need a pet that requires a little less maintenance?  Is the new pet parent looking for a curious companion that likes to explore beyond their own habitat?  Or does he/she prefer a pet that minds its own business from the comfort of its own home? The answers to these questions will determine which is the better pet for your personality.  And our detailed guide goes over these important differences between bearded dragons and leopard geckos.

Lifespan

With great care, both bearded dragons and leopard geckos can live between 10 - 20 years.  So every potential owner show anticipate a long-term family member when adopting one.  But they don't need the same care as each other.  Bearded dragons can create a lot of feces.  And they aren't neat about it.  So new pet parents should expect to provide daily spot cleaning, and then provide a deep clean about once per month. Leopard geckos are typically neater, and will usually defecate in the same area.  It is recommended to spot clean daily, however their habitats can usually go 2-3 months without a deep clean.

Temperament

This is another area where leopard geckos and bearded dragons show their differences.  Bearded dragons tend to have a unique, playful, mischievous, and curious personality.  They enjoy climbing on their pet parents, and even embarking on explorations (assuming the temps are satisfactory).  This is what makes them a great beginner pet for curious children who want to hold their new pet. Leopard geckos are able to bond with their pet parents, similar to bearded dragons.  But they are a little more shy.  An over-excited child is very likely to scare your leopard gecko is handled to aggressively.  This can frighten your leo, and even cause them to lose their tails. There are a variety of other differences.  And those differences are spelled out in great detail in our guide.  But please ask questions below if it doesn't cover something you'd like to know about!   [post_title] => Bearded Dragon?

I have not seen it yet. Waiting to hear back. "She’s in rough shape. I have a new uvb on her tank. She does eat. Loves collard greens, insects of all sorts, mangos, strawberries. Honestly she loves food. But something is going on with her where she’s loosing weight and her eyes keep shutting." I keep thinking that this just sounds like Brumation.. Possibly worms? Ill ask more info when i meet to pick her up. But does this sound like Brumation to you too? Its cold where we live right now. Has been for months. If i cant figure it out, i will take her to vet (if they actually give her up). But i prefer to try and fix any issues myself first, if I can. [post_title] => Brumation?
