    Ah thats true Ryan. There as common in the UK as Beardies. Clutches are just harder to find.

    I am not sure on the minimum size but I am using a 36" x 18" X 18" (If I get one)
    Good luck :)

    That's a good size for a lawson's dragon, ryan.
    Also, you'll want to be sure the UVB bulb is sufficient for a bearded dragon (either a reptiglo 8.0 or a reptisun 10.0), and the bulb cannot be older than 6 months old. If it is, you need to replace it before getting the dragon. 6 months and the UVB coating generally wears off and is insufficient to help your dragon in any way.

    So you mean how difficult are they to look after?? If so I dont think they're not amazingly hard to look after, I would say a bit harder than bearded dragons... maybe someone else who keeps them can help ;)

    If you want to get a beardie I'd suggest going to a reputable breeder, there are a lot of them around. Then you know you'll be getting a healthy animal and they'll also be able to give you any advice you need on caring for the dragon. Once you know what you're doing they're quite easy to take care of. You only really have to worry when you get them from a petstore since they may already be sick and many petstores give bad advice about reptile care.

    2 seconds searching on Google turned up the Iowa Bearded Dragon Farm in Jefferson, IA. A little more research would probably turn up more.
