The require quite a bit of money to start up because you need a heat lamp, a UVB lamp, substrate, crickets, a bowl, lid, tank etc.This site should help you http://www.kingsnake.com/gladescs/bearded/

Bearded dragons are fairly easy..a great starter lizard
they just need tank/terrarium (big..like 60+ since the GROW!) they have to be fed crickets and lettuce..always provided water...also they need light/heat lamps..and dirt for the substrate..all this can be found at any petstore

The main thing you'll want to keep in mind is that as they age, you'll need a nice, big tank for them. While you can go cheaper routes with tupperware containers, it's not as nice in a display sense. You will have to feed your beardie every day (different people swear by different mixes of food--you'll want to get a book for full care info), clean its cage, and make sure it is healthy.

Depending on what age. I would say an adult whould be alot easier 2 keep, but whould have 2 feed more and pick up more poop

Bearded dragons make great pets & are resonably easy to care for.
Do your homework first!
