Now I'm drooling over them. They're like an ancient dinosaur! I like their scales on their front legs. So cute! I'm in love! I'm wondering if I have the resources to take care of one. What's all required for these brutes?

They need a lot my friend, a lot. I find them to be worth the trouble, and if you set them up right, you can minimize the work load, and expense.
I just hatched 18 babies today. Want me to send you one? Haha.
Good luck whatever you decide.
