Would a bearded dragon be a good pet for a blind person? If not, what are some good pets to keep, besides dogs? (self.Blind)

Oo! My older brother used to own one. The only hard part I came across was making sure the crickets got inside the cage. Another pro tip: don’t drop the cricket container on the stairs of a two story house or else your parents will never allow any reptiles again. Happened to my older brother. (It was mostly because it costs a lot to get professionals to exterminate them.)

Absolutely not. When they get mature, their tail can knock you over with one swipe.
I'd stick to cat or dog.

Hahaha I had dwarf bearded dragons as a kid and I completely forgot they were "dwarf" rather than the normal size. Can't stop laughing at the though of one of them trying to knock someone over

what? bearded dragons are small, like iguana sized. there's no way one could knock you over with its tail

Back when my son was in grade school, his class pet was a bearded dragon. The teacher was giving it away and we considered it. Did some web searching that's where I got my information. I had read it co get 6' long and knock you over with a swat of their tail. Thus, no new pet for us. Must have been bad info as now I'm finding what you are saying is correct.

If only this were true...Barbie and Ken would have outgrown the dreamhouse (yes, that's really what their names were).
Beardeds are cool. The person in question may or may not need help creating an awesome habitat for the critters, but they're great pets-they're not loud and they make great shoulder pets :)

You might need a hand in the cleaning department but i'm pritty sure they'd make good pets.

A porcupine is good. I've had mine for almost 3 years.

Wait, what? are dragons real? I am very sure they aren't. Or else, I am getting a guide dragon soon. Any ways, about pets, I have seen blind having cats, birds etc as their pets. Fish might be tough to clean, but surely possible.
