Have you ever thought about owning a bearded dragon?

Whenever my fiance or I tell others that Solaris is potty trained, we always get the strangest looks. Potty-trained bearded dragons are considered weird because walking a dog or having a litter box for a cat is normal in pet-ownership; the idea of teaching your dragon to use the restroom outside of their tank is considered ‘impossible’.

We brought this month old bearded dragon into our home on Black Friday. Bringing in an ‘orphan dragon’ (lizard) into our home was not an impulsive decision. In fact, my boyfriend and I had been discussing the possibility of owning a lizard since August.

Solarius, or Sol for short, has been both a delight and an adventure to raise.
