Free Bearded Dragons

My daughter's coach's Bearded Dragon had babies and he does not want to deal with them. There are 16. Santa Rosa Pick-Up he wants to get rid of them quick.

My niece raised a couple of them once.  They are very hardy and curious critters.  She had a second fish tank she raised crickets in to feed them.  The crickets were the problem; always escaping all over the house.  Ha! 

A good pet for anyone who lives in an apartment or otherwise can't keep a dog or cat. 

I could use one of those, as Prince Elfie, a beardie we picked up almost 2 years ago, passed away this summer.  But I'm not sure if I'll be able to pick one up anytime soon, unless perhaps the NCKA express can get me one down here at the KC derby.

If he has trouble getting rid of them, have him clal JnW Reptile Rescue out of Vallejo. Its a non profit that shelters and rehomes surrendered reptiles like beardies. They also offer all kinds of reptile education programs for schools as well. Great organization.

Are they good bait? (j/k) 

I would love a pair for my kids. Any way to use NCKA express for live animals? haha... I'm way down in Fresno but I'm sure I could come up with an excuse to go to Headwaters in the very near future.

Please PM the contact #. My son loves lizards and surprising him with a couple of these would be very cool! Thanks for posting!

I think he wants someone to take them all, I'll have my daughter talk to him after work.

I have a nice tank set up with gravel, sunning rocks, lights, etc for anyone looking to snag one or two of these.  I'm in Sebastopol/Petaluma so it could be picked up in the same trip for a mere $30!!

Mickfish I'm interested in one of these if the guy will move them one at a time.

Ring king, if I can get one I'll buy your tank and stuff if still available.

I've raised bearded dragons for the past 10 years. I breed them as a self sustaining hobby and would encourage any potential ncka members considering adopting one to do some research first. While they may be easier than a cat or dog to care for, they still have requirements that need to be met, such as exposure to uva/uvb light in addition to heat lamps, unless they get regular sun exposure for several hours per week. They're omnivores too and require a rather varied diet. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from adopting these cuties just trying to give a little heads up. They live approximately 7-10 years on average too so if they die after two, there was probably something going on with the husbandry, considering they aren't even fully grown until 1ish. Also, they grow over 1000% from the time they're born to when they reach their full grown size, which is also something to consider in terms of adequate space they need be healthy and active (cage should get larger as lizard gets larger.) If any of you guys have any questions feel free to msg me Id be more than willing to share some insights or info.

Ok my daughter is able to grab a few and can hold them for a day or two. You must pick up in Santa Rosa (Coffy Park). If you want a couple PM me tonite with your contact info/how many and I will call you tomorrow after she picks them up.  Please don't leave us hanging and heed  Capt Hooks advice a small terrarium will not cut it I think 40 gal would be the minimum, they grow pretty fast. Thanks for the advice Capt.

Just an FYI ... the beardie we had was a stray that was found outside, who knows how long.  He was already full grown, about 16" but skinny.   I believe he was impacted when we got him.  But  I waited too long to get him to a vet to help with the situation,  mainly because I thought he was getting better.  He was gaining weight and getting more active, and was having fairly regular bowel movements every other day.  But he took a turn for the worse one day and within a couple weeks, he passed.

Thanks for this; I used to own a beardie and a potential owner should know what to expect. I own or have owned cats, dogs, a gecko, snakes, frogs, a chinchilla, hamsters and an rats and want to remind people that beardies are closer to dogs or chinchillas than hamsters or mice in terms of what is needed to care for them properly. As hook said, they have rather particular needs in terms of diet and environment or else they will die much before their time. In that regard they're arguably more 'work' than a cat or perhaps even a dog.

With that said, beardies are awesome. They can be very friendly if you socialize them, it's awesome to watch them hunt, and nothing can replace owning a dinosaur.
