Unfortunately, you have to be able to feed your Beardie crickets and meal worms in addition to the fresh veggies. Unfortunately, there aren't really any true herbivorous species of reptile on the pet market other than a few tortoises. I'm thinking, though, that if she'll let you feed something earthworms, she'd be okay with meal worms or wax worms. Try discussing a Uromastyx with her. They can get away without the crickets, but still need some occasional meal or wax worms. Their veggie requirements are about the same as the beardie's. Here's a couple sites to get you started:

I hope this helps you out, and I hope you and your mom can come to a good compromise.
Just sneak some crickets in when your mom isn't around.
frogs!!! or get a doggy
feed it...YOUR MOM
problem solved!
Please don't compromise the health of a reptile because you're mom doesn't want "bugs" in the house. Either persuade her to let you get an animal who eats invertebrates or wait until you have a place of your own.
No. Worms have high fat content and should only be given as a "sometimes" treat. Crickets or roaches must be provided on a daily basis along with pellets and veggies.
Just like I said in another answer: how about a snake? You can convince any snake to eat thawed rodent. Email me if interested.
but its good for them =(
You can feed him/her meal worms, wax worms, and crickets.
i think i already answered you ,,, get a mali uromastyx cheap easy, eats plants, low maintenance, lives for a long time
most reptiles only eat thinks that move.
Beardies need crickets on top of the veggies and meal worms, don't get one unless you can provide these things.
No, crickets need to be a staple for the animal. They only eat pellet food if you are trying to make them eat and depending on the age, they will eat more crickets than greens.
