I believe BTS are easier then a beardie but still a lot more than a snake.

Try keeping a wife! I lost two already...decided dogs and snakes are a lot less trouble and a lot cheaper!

I've noticed the same thing and it is indeed very sad. i follow several reptile pages on Facebook in my area and it's just flooded with Beardies. and the saddest part is majority of them have MBD. I feel I see MBD cases around here in Beardies more than anything else. I was also one to think they were lower maintenance AT FIRST.. we took on two for an older couple that could no longer care for them. one of these guys had MBD and was on medication everyday. they were the most high maintenanced animals in our care. thankfuly we've adopted them out to a forever home now and they're doing well. it's awful to think all of the babies out there just left in a tank with a light in a kids bedroom that are doomed from the start. I also frequently think of all the poor hatchling Savannah Monitors this time of year that people are taking in due to how accessible and inexpensive they are most places.. not realizing the expenses and care that are to follow.
