    I have a special needs bearded dragon. Special needs because he was born without scales. Also, unfortunately, he is now mostly blind.

    He has given me more grey hairs in his 5 years on earth than my previous 30. His care requires multiple skincare products, aloe, etc. His diet requires me to keep bins of cockroaches which also require their own food and water. He also requires heat & UVB bulbs with separate fixtures, and has a specialty “herpstat” that can automatically time the lights, control temperatures, report on humidity, etc.

    He is a pain to care for!

    I love him so much. I do it all happily and he’s a wonderful, friendly, sweet, amazing companion.
