Our hamster died a few weeks ago and now DP and DD between them decided that instead of getting another hamster they wanted to go for something different so we are getting a bloody lizard.
I wasn't happy about it to begin with but after reading about their temperament etc and then going to the pet shop today and holding a three week old baby bearded dragon they have now managed to persuade me.
Its kind of a father's day present too as DP said he has always fancied keeping one.
