    It depends, is this for a friend or are you wanting to start a pet sitting business? Since the animal will stay with you you're not having to spend extra time and gas to go care for the dragon I'd consider something around $50-75 for the entire time. This is assuming they will be providing all the food you will need to offer daily. If you have to provide the food I would charge more based on the cost of the food. Dragons are fairly easy to care for, but take time every day b/c they need fresh salad daily and depending on their age will need live feeder insects anywhere from every day to a few times a week. I'd charge less for a friend than someone I don't know or barely know, but I'd still want to charge enough to compensate for the time it takes to feed and clean the enclosure + the cost to run the heat light and UVB light for that time.

    I don't know about a bearded dragon. Is there really such a thing? One time I took in a bearded clam for a night, but I did it for free. Okay I paid $150 and it was only for four hours. Worth every penny.

    If its a friend then do it for free if its for somebody you don't know maybe around 65 for the whole time
