    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Question????

I ve been thinking about getting a jacksons chameleon at the end of this month, but ive been also thinking about getting a bearded dragon. Which is a better pet a chameleon (in general) or a bearded dragon? WHich is easier to care for? Is humidity hard to maintain for chameleons? Which is a hardier pet? WHich do you prefer? Id realy appreciate some advice.

Thanks
Andrew
 
My wife and I have a pair of Jackson's and two pairs of beardies. Both are relatively easy to care for, however, the Jackson's are quite a bit more susceptible to outside stressors such as children dogs, etc. Ours have adapted quite well and we have had no problems. We have heard other stories of Jackson's dropping dead from too much stress.
 
I'd have to say that the bearded dragon is a better bet because, even though you can't hold either one much, the bearded dragon seems to become attached to the owner more (especially if you handle it alot and hand feed it greens. Even though I've never personally had a jackson's, I have had a veiled, and he liked to stay in his cage more than my bearded dragon does.
 
Ohh, as an FYI, I'd say the bearded is easier to care for because if you have to go away for a couple of days (up to 1 1/2 weeks), the bearded will be okay, but the chameleon will become stressed and die (that's how mine finally passed away). Remember though, this is based on a veiled, not a jackson's, even though they are alot alike.
