This summer Emma decided she wanted a lizard. She woke up early one morning, researched the different types online and wrote a page and half research paper which concluded that a bearded dragon would be best for her. She did a couple of pet-sitting jobs and saved some money and then two weeks ago we went and picked it up. Alex is around six inches long now, but he or she (too soon to tell) will grow to two feet. Here's a video we made showing Alex eating crickets, jumping, taking a bath and being held.
