I do not have pets. I foster dogs. I do software solutions for technology companies. I love raccoons but I have only seen wild ones. I have to raccoon proof my garbage.
I have a bearded dragon as pets who eats crickets and worms. I am a zoo keeper. I have a brother who owns a grocery store. I have a raccoon who eats dog kibble, fish and eggs among other things. My raccoon is named Bandicoot.  He is 3 years old, and my 7 month old bearded dragon is named Bob. I have had Bob for 1 month. I work at a raccoon cafe with bandicoot. My raccoon was a rescue.
I visited the pet store yesterday and saw a bearded dragon.  It was my first time seeing one up close.  How big do they get? That is cool you saw one. They can get up to about 24 inches. Quite big really but does happen slowly over the years. Would you like to get one? I don't know , with my fosters dogs, I don't think it would be a good idea. Each case is different, I don't want to stress them more with a reptile. How your racoon is dealing with you bearded dragon ?  If you think your foster dogs would become stressed by the dragon then it is probably a good idea not to get one. My raccoon is quite relaxed and isn't bothered at all by the bearded dragon. It helps because it doesn't make much noise so I don't think it notices that it is there. Do you think it could eat your bearded dragon ? To me, racoons  seem to eat everything. Bob is in a cage so Bandicoot cannot get to it. He is fine and soon he grow bigger. Raccoons like to eat small creatures. Once it gets to a certain size Bandicoot will leave it alone. I hope soo, some racoons can be very territorial, every four-five night I hear a racoon and a cat fighting in my neighborhood.  They can be. Especially wild ones. Now my raccoon has been with me for over a month it has grown to me and is quite relaxed and behaved around me. I think it would be interesting to research whether racoons could be trained. Do you think they would make great pet ? Do they stink ? I know ferrets can smell and foxes literally stink.  No they don't stink really if you feed it correctly. But I am used to the smell really now being around so many of them. Maybe to others they might. I think they make a good pet, but only if you have time to really look and care for it. But aren't they considered wildlife by the law ? So they can't be legally pets, if so some pet shops would sell them, like ferrets. That it true. Yes we cannot sell them. But we can rescue them and take care of them before releasing back in the wild
