Hello from Cleveland and still undecided
Hi! I'm a new member and I have been reading a lot of posts and care sheets (here and other sites). I have 2 daughters (8 and 11) who have been asking for a reptile for over a year and I have always wanted one myself. We talked about the limitations we have in keeping reptiles and that no matter what, they all require some work and responsibility. We came up with a list of "deal breakers" and were quickly able to narrow down our choices to a corn snake or a bearded dragon. I have told them that they need to research to make a care manual of sorts so that they have easy access to information. Meanwhile I am doing my own research so that we are all as knowledgeable as newbies can be! My older daughter and I did this with hermit crabs 3 years ago and we have 4 thriving, happy crabs in our crabitat. The reptile will be the girls' in name, but really, the responsibility of all of us.
I'm happy to have found this site and I look forward to getting even more information! If you have any advice or ideas of which of the four you like best, please let me know!
