They eat crickets and chopped veggies as babies, sometimes waxworms. As adults superworms are a treat and can handle larger leafs of greens. i have access to wholesaler websites for crickets i can get for you. they get from about 18''-24'' females are usually a touch smaller. normal beardies are what you find in petstores these are hypo leucistic which means high color morphs and clear nails. normal phase beardies are brown/beige/black with black/brown nails. these will be a vibrant green with bright orange stipes down their back. every time they shed they get more colorful. hard to find babies this young with sooo much color already. i only have 15 left so let me know. i will do $80. They are in great health and ready to go (eating well)
Housing... at least a 40gal tank for an adult is perfect. one heat/basking light and one uvb light (REPTISUN 10.0 ONLY) Reptiglo does not give them the uvb they need and has been shown to give the dragons eye problems/Blindness (burning the retinas).
Hypos usually sell anywhere from 150-350 per baby depending on color.

Laying on top of each other is a sign of dominance... at this age its not really a big deal, they wont usually fight until they are sexually mature/full grown at 18months. they are solitary... "sometimes" people have luck housing 2 together but usually one is doing better than the other (battling for space for basking and uvb exposure)
they are the only reptile that does not carry salmonella so safe for kids and as docile and friendly as a dog. they actually do seek human attention and will glass dance/ showoff for you.
any questions, just ask me

What kind of upkeep do they take? Like how much do you spend on food for them a month? And is it better to have one by itself or with another one? And what size cage (or tank) do you keep them in? Also what kind of tank do you use? Just a normal glass tank (like a fish tank?)
My girlfriend and I might want one of these. She's on vacation though so I'll ask when she gets home. Don't get your hopes up, it's just an idea.
I've actually answered all of those questions myself to be honest. I've done a lot of reading up on them due to boredom tonight. The only one I didn't find a set answer on was how much do you spend a week on food and stuff. But I've thought of a few more questions.
1. How messy/smelly are they?
2. How many males/females do you have? And how long do you think you'll have them?
3. What's the biggest these ones will get?
