If you can, try getting a beardie off a breeder on this site. Petstores usually overprice beardies and they arent always kept it great condition. From a breeder, I'd say the average price for a baby beardie is around $50-$75. Petstores usually seem to charge $125.

Get yourself a copy of Keeping Bearded Dragons by Darren Green its got all the basics you need to know before you get your first beardies.

Your not supposed to post on 'for sale' threads, you PM the poster. I'd be surprised if you get the stuff you need for free, you need a heat lamp, UV light, substrate, branches, water/food bowl, enclosure and the food.

What species of Beardie were you looking at getting?

hehehehe.. "light reading".. i like that

I would suggest you do alot of research before getting your lizard. It's expensive to set up.. You shouldn't use sand for babies.. you need UV lighting.. basking lights... thermostat (not a must but makes it easier), IR temp gum... climbing branches.. the list goes on..
RESEARCH....RESEARCH....RESEARCH....
