Bearded dragons

Anyone have them?

No, but want one...they are very cool and adapt well to captivity from what I have read. Do yo have one?

I might get one someday. I had a bad experience with iguanas. That thing went psycho and even tried to attack my dog (a German Shepard) once. I still think reptiles are cool, but I want one that can get along with other pets- especially rodents.

I have 2. Sammy might die. We were taking care of him wrong. We did everything the lady at the pet store told us to do and it was all wrong.

It's sad, but the people who work in pet stores often don't have any training in how to take care of the animals they sell. Often they will just try to make taking care of the animal seem "easy" or like it is no problem just so they can sell the animal. If your dragon is sick you might want to look into what vets in your area have training in herpatology or treating reptiles. Calling your local zoo would be a place to start.

Everything. And Sammy and Harry are babies.

If they are babies, it is possible that one of them has an internal birth defect. A reptile's life expectancy is not very promising during the first year of it's life. Apart from that, just watch their temperature, make sure they gey 12 hours of UV light a day, and consider nutritional supplements to put on their food, especially calcium powder.
