I kept Rankins for a few years and bred them too, they are great little lizards, reasonably easy to keep, great to handle and cool as u like, very similar in temperament to beardies even more docile in fact i've never seen one thats agressive in any way, well mine werent anyways! ... You cant go wrong really! _________________ Cheers

awsome i would get a beardie but tbh i aint got the room in my bedroom the space i have is approx just over 3t which apparently is plenty of room 4 2 rankins but not really for beardies lol plus i like the look of um.
about there temperment, a friend of my aunty her son has a beardie and he gets really worked up when ever u go near him, beard goes really really black n kinda growls at you lol i told him its just down 2 his age as heis relitivly young still. is that about right?
also whats all the stuff about cross between rankins and beardies?? whats the difference? |

i could not recommend rankins enough, they are great, exactly like beardies but like half the size, and therefore much easier to accommodate.
their temperament is fine if handled from a young age, mine wasn't so is a bit grumpy, you can pick him up, but only after a bit of a chase and alot of scrabbling, so i try to do as little as possible. but that is the same with most pets, if they have had regular contact with a human being ever since they were little they are fine _________________ Tom
