New to Reptiles

[Bsd1x]

Hello I am new to reptile keeping and I wanted to join a forum for some advice and guidance. My 10 year old son has been wanting a Bearded Dragon for awhile now and I am leaning towards getting one. I have been in the saltwater aquarium hobby for years now and I am gaining more interest with reptiles. I told my son that before getting any bearded dragon we need to do our research. So far I have found that these are great pets and it is recommended to get an adult bearded dragon. I am open to a nice DIY display/aquarium, I love DIY projects and would like a nice size display. I prefer to purchase the dragon from a personal breeder or a reptile store, I am staying away from you common chain pet stores. Any advice on bearded dragons and required equipment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
