I wish it was just that easy. I talk people all the time out of buying a reptile that they are not ready for but many stores and breeders at expos are only looking to make a buck and really don't care about the reptile. I'm not saying all breeders and stores, but many do. I have people coming into the store after an expo and they don't have a clue as to what the have gotten themselves into. Most who bought a bearded dragon were told that they did not need to get a UVB light, because if the customer had to buy an expensive light, they might not have made the sale. The one lady I asked what kind of geckos she bought, she said she had bought 2 different kinds (not knowing what they were) and was told that they could stay in the same enclosure.
