Answers:

They both make good pets.

PLEASE do some research - there is a lot of information on the internet about both critters. learn about each of their care, personalities, requirements and see how they blend into your schedule.

Most people don't realize that keeping a reptile as a pet is alot of work. They require specific kinds of enclosures and need fresh food every day, sometimes as frequently as 2-3x per day. They also grow, sometimgs quite large and need a suitably sized enclosure.They also have lifespans of 8+ years so make sure you're committed.

It is expensive to set up reptile enclosures no matter which reptile you choose, be prepared for the initial costs. I spent about $300 setting up for my dragon. Keep in mind as well, that there are maintenance costs. Bulbs and heating elements must be replaced every 6 months (they run about $35 each - most enclosures have 2 of them) as well as the ongoing electric bill for heating and fresh food/insects/fruits/veggies.

Your critter should also go to the vet regulary as reptiles have sensitivity and if they get it, it could kill them. Reptile specialists cost more than a regular vet, and you must see a specialist.

Having a reptile is great fun and very enjoyable. Both are great pets. Do some research to see which would suit your life best.

But the bottom line is, your mom will make the final decision. Do research of both so you can impress her and maybe influence her decision.


Bearded dragons are cooler

Get the iguana. You don't want the problem of lice and combing that beard.
If i were you i would get a bearded dragon because not a lot of people own them. Iguanas are so regular.

they're both great pets, generally friendly and easy to take care of. are there kids around? i guess the biggest difference is size. do you want a 4 foot lizard or a 10 inch lizard?
