When I was doing research for mine this was the one I most often used: https://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/
There are others, but I believe that one has the most traffic and best resources to start with.

http://www.beautifuldragons.com/home.html is also a good one for specific articles on nutrition and more in depth care.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help!

Yeah I can't stop watching videos about them!
As I understood you have one yourself. What's your experience, are they really as affectionate and kind as they say they are? I know it depends on each individual but still

It's hard to judge if any reptile is affectionate or not, but as far as tolerating handling and interaction, he's probably the most interactive of my reptiles, with my Blue Tongue Skinks a close second. Keep in mind every individual is different of course. My guy seems to like sitting in a cat bed in the window and looking outside, and I'll let him wander the reptile room/office when the cats are kicked out and I can keep one eye on him. He's definitely an explorer.

Especially that tail though! I've seen a whole load of pics but I never realised it could be this thick! He has a real nice color btw on the second pic!
I was thinking that I really liked the ones with the vibrant red color but they seem to be so rare to get...

Ozzy is a Hypo Citrus Rainbow Tiger which is a mouthful to say he's more yellow and has bluish marks on his back lol. The reds seem to be super popular right now so I think they sell quickly or breeders hold them back. There are so many beardie morphs out there that I'm sure you'll find something when you're ready to buy.

Problem is they're all so beautiful and cute! Probably I wouldn't be able to resist any of them if I just see one and fall in love with him
But I promised myself that I won't get anyone new until my girl isn't completely stable again. So hard to keep it though

It's definitely hard. Generally my rule is to have every animal healthy, have an emergency vet fund for every animal, and have a set up and vet fund for any new animal I'm considering getting before actually buying it. I always want to make sure any emergencies are covered before I start thinking of bringing another animal into the mix. I also try to keep in mind any major life changes that might affect an animal's care in the future, or having to move said animal.
Sometimes things don't work that way, like my taking in Monty as a rescue. He was an unexpected cost that has eaten through my safety net, and continues to need upgrades to his enclosure that I had to compromise on. I don't like having to scramble to properly care for an animal and it stresses me out very much. I'd rather be completely prepared and have everything in place.

I've had Puff for close to a year now and she is by far the sweetest girl ever. She's just super sweet and super lazy. She likes to run around the apartment and likes hanging out with the cat. They lay in the window together even though the cat doesn't like it so much. She even goes on walks with me during summer. I have a little leash for her (not that she needs it), and she just holds on while we walk to the store. It's so adorable and the store owner and his wife just lover her. They call her an iguana all the time lol. Here's some of my favorite pics of her. Sorry to interrupt your guys conversation but I just love my beardie and I know you will too!

Gosh, don't be sorry, thank you for interrupting! Such a cutie pie! With every beardie like yours I get closer and closer to being 100% sure I need one!

Well, let me just tell you you absolutely need one 100% There, now you know
. They're super cute in the bath tub too. She kinda just slaps at the water swimming around and she looks so goofy but she is beyond adorable. Speaking of, I think it's just about bath time lol.
