Baby Dragons 🐉 ðŸĨ°

My daughter is obsessed with lizards, and she has asked me a million times to get her a bearded dragon. So I told her she needs to spend a few years researching & going to ethical pet stores to practice handling & asking good questions. ðŸŦķðŸ―

Pet education is something I really try to pride myself in. When I was a young teen (drinking & smoking constantly) I got a yellow lab puppy without any preparationâ€ĶI absolutely fell in love with this animal he was the best, I named him Zenâ€Ķmy mom forced my hand in giving him up for adoption 😭 completely broke my heart.

I never want my child to have to experience thatâ€Ķso if this is something she truly desires & wants to become educated in, I’m so for it! With the proper education & preparation. ðŸ–ĪðŸ–ĪðŸ–Ī🐉🐉
