No advice but if something ever happens to my crabs I'm getting one. Have you tried looking up forums for those? I'm sure they are out there.

I've wanted one, but haven't gotten one cuz here they're a little pricey and then you have to have the proper setup which is costly too.

My aunt and uncle had a baby bearded dragon a few years ago it fell ill to a respiratory illness and died.These lizards have some pretty decent care requirements especially as babies because its just so easy for them to get sick.They used to let theirs out and he had a tendency to whip his tail when he got mad or excited, unfortunately the overhead heat they were using wasn't sufficient to keep it healthy and it developed health issues a consequence to being exposed to temps that were just too low.The vet told them that baby bearded dragons need to be kept at temps around 88 to 95 degrees to keep them from getting sick.I've personally never owned one so I don't know much else about them.
