So long story short I have been scammed!! I bought a "bearded dragon" for my son and a month later, have realised this guy is nothing like a beardie, and turns turquoise every time I try bath him - not a common characteristic of a beardie I know but I was learning (now in hindsight the horror of all I have done thinking this little guy was a bearded dragon, including trying to get him to eat greens to no avail). Turns out I have an Agama. I am in shock and would appreciate any assistance.
1) Are we allowed to keep him?
2) I am confident he has been hand raised as is relatively fine to handle, albeit a bit skittish etc but does not bite (okay once he bit) so I cannot just go release him into the garden correct? Or am I supposed to do that?
3) If we are allowed what cage set up does he need?
4) What bugs does this guy need and where do I find his particular buffet as so far I have read caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets and beetles (stores sell only crickets)
5) What I thought (size) was a 6 month old beardie, may now very well be an any age lizard ... what do I do? Does he need a vet check? Do vets even deal with Agama's?
Any advice would be very much appreciated
