Dear Bearded Dragon Lover,

Did you choose a bearded dragon over a cat or a dog, thinking it would be easier to handle?

Are you intending to buy a bearded dragon because it seems like an easy pet to take care off?

Guess what… 

I’ll be the first to admit that I love these bearded dragons, or beardies as I like to call them. I have kept and bred them for over 10 years, which makes me one of the most recognised authorities when it comes to these little reptiles. 

But sadly, most people don’t have the same level of knowledge as experts. They buy a bearded dragon from their local pet store and expect it to be as easy to handle as a guppy or terrapin. And they end up making all sorts of terrible mistakes that can seriously harm the well-being of their beloved bearded dragons!

To understand why bearded dragons need such special attention and care, it is important to know where they come from. All of the world’s bearded dragons today originated from the wild, outback regions of Australia… which means…

It’s just not as simple as throwing them in a cage with some food!

Now imagine plucking a bearded dragon from its natural habitat in a dry desert, where temperatures can sore well over 90 degrees in the day and drop to under 45 degrees at night… and putting them… 

Unless you live in the desert, I doubt your garden has the same kind of conditions… which means you need to “artificially create” an environment that is similar to a beardie’s natural habitat.

Here’s where all the problems come in. Most people have no idea how to do so… and have no idea of the costs involved! Because of the equipment you have to set up to “mimic” its natural habitat… rearing a bearded dragon can be an expensive hobby!

Fortunately, over my 10 years of rearing these bearded dragons, I have worked out a series of shortcuts and tricks you can use in order to save yourself some serious money… but still provide your bearded dragon with a top-rate, comfortable environment!

You know, you can read countless Internet websites or visit a dozen forums about bearded dragons and still don’t know how best to care for them… because most people writing these websites (or visiting the forums) are just as clueless about what to do!

It’s like the blind leading the blind!

Why learn from newbies when you can have the advantage of picking the brain of a seasoned, bearded dragon owner and breeder… someone who actually does it for a living?

Why worry about doing things right… when you can once-and-for-all, know the proper techniques to care for your bearded dragon?

Introducing my…

In my secret manual, I also cover some of the more advanced topics when dealing with bearded dragons, such as: 

Of course, breeding your own bearded dragon requires additional knowledge, but it can also be an extremely rewarding process… if you know how to do it right!

This is what I do for a living, so I really know what I’m talking about.

Would you rather have a handy guide that shows you exactly what to do in each situation… or would you live each day in worry, wondering whether you are doing the right thing for your bearded dragon?

My secret manual is specially written for the home bearded dragon owner, so it’s 100% practical and doesn’t involved any sophisticated equipment or knowledge.

To make it even easier for you, I’m going to throw in the following bonuses to make caring for your bearded dragon even more enjoyable: 

Consider this – The average lifespan of a healthy bearded dragon is 10 years. If you already own one or consider owning one… you’ll need to spend the next 10 years of your life with it.

During those 10 years, you need to provide your beardie with a comfortable home as a responsible pet owner. But we all know that it doesn’t come easy… or cheap. Just buying and equipping a cage alone can potentially cost hundreds of dollars.

Ask yourself, how much are you going to spend on… 

• Enclosure and cages for your bearded dragon
• Supplies such as toys, perching rocks, heaters
• Incubators if you intend to breed bearded dragons
• Food for your bearded dragon (Live insects can be expensive)
• And more…

Needless to say, it will not be cheap. But what if using my methods, you can save a whole lot of money on enclosures, cages, supplies and food by learning where expert breeders like myself source for them?

How much will having this knowledge alone save you?

How much will proper handling and care of your bearded dragon save you in vet fees (which can run into hundreds of dollars per visit) or heartache when your beloved bearded dragon dies?

That’s why I’m on a mission to help as many bearded dragon owners as possible. You can download my entire “Bearded Dragon Secret Manual” for only $19 and read it immediately on a PC or MAC. You can even print it out and refer to it anytime you like.

That’s right. For less than the cost of one month’s worth of supplies and pet food, you can own a copy of my manual that will save you from trouble, frustration, worry… and that feeling of not knowing what to do.

Don’t you think it’s worth it?

How Much Is All This Worth To You?

It is my belief that every bearded dragon owner needs to get his hands on this book because this material can greatly improve the quality of life of your bearded dragon.

In fact, I am so certain you will benefit from the material I share in this guide that I’m willing to give you a full 60 days to test out my methods.
