I lost my best friend Beth this June to domestic violence. Lizzy was her beardie. When I 1st brought her home she would rock back and forth for about 4 months. I would hold her wrapped in a blanket or towel and hold her to my chest and would rock her to get her to stop her rocking. I'd hum to her and she would tilt her head and it seemed to calm her down. She cuddles now up under my cheek on my shoulder now. Her rocking has stopped after about four and a half months. She has definitely brought me much joy and coping with the loss of my best friend. She's a love that goes deep. We both needed each other and provides great comfort for the both of us.
You’re the type of friend everyone needs🤍
Im sorry for your loss and I am grateful for kind people like you
Volcano my beardie has a lot of quirks. He was a rescue I adopted about a year ago. He was taken out of a drug house where the police found him running around not in any type of cage. He was underweight and very aggressive. I was the 17th person to go look at him at the shelter when he was finally put up but no one wanted him because he was so aggressive. I immediately wanted him and after they asked me are you sure about 30 times I took him home. After I let him get used to his new surroundings (about a week) I tried handling him. It did not end well (he bit me in the face just under my left eye). It didn't deter me. After long hours of working with him he is now my night time TV buddy. He'll climb up my shoulder and usually falls asleep there. But he still has tendencies to get aggressive. He'll gap at me and charge if he's free roaming the house and he thinks I'm picking him up to put back in his enclosure. But through that all I wouldn't change a thing. I like to think those other 17 people passed on him because he was meant to be with me. Now if he'd just stop pooping on my rug
Wow. It definitely sounds like he was meant to be with you. And you sound like you're doing such a good job caring for him and being patient with him. 🥰
I rescued 1 and named him Leary bcos I was scared. He's a good boy 😉
Can I ask you how you put in the hours.? meaning what methods did you use?
I had this large sofa thing with no arms and back and my little gremlin of a beardie pooped a stench loaf on it and PERMANENTLY stained the thing with his lil wiggling buttcheecks😂XD
The ending was unexpected xd
Fun little quirk about my baby beardie: they're pretty young and when we first got them and were feeding them crickets, I noticed they would arm wave at the crickets before pouncing which I found so funny because they're trying to communicate to the crickets in beardie language, "dont worry, I'm smaller than you, I won't hurt you" immediately before eating them. They haven't done that in a while but it made me laugh a bit 😂
Note: the crickets we're giving them are the smaller kind for juveniles, so my dragon didnt feel threatened by them as far as I know 😂
That sounds adorable, and that's also a great hunting technique 😂
^^^
My Baby does the same thing it's like a game for Blue stalking them arm waves then pounce on them then he eats lolol 😂😂
Mine is a lil different... His name is Sosa and he's a few months old.. the other day I was feeding him and Im pretty sure he thinks he's Godzilla. He put his hand on a worm before scooping it up and eating it and then looking for his next target.....
The segment about head bobbing reminded me, our beardie, Firefly, started scrabbling across his cage and bobbing his head with his throat all puffed out and pitch black, and we were all worried we were doing something wrong since he seemed so stressed and upset, until we eventually realized that he's actually just an idiot - he saw his reflection in the glass and thought it was another beardie. We had to adjust the angle of the tank so that the light didn't give him as many reflections though because he started trying to attack the glass and we didn't want him to bust a lip or break his jaw being a territorial dumbass lmao
Haha
Bro after 2 minutes when i read that my beardie started looking at the glass then started moving alot every where and saw his reflection following him then he hit the glass and is running again haha
“Territorial dumbass”🤣🤣
Yes, I learned early move all mirrors. Lol
We just got ours and I noticed he was like jumping at the glass tank then I realized it was his reflection that was triggering him lol........So here I am trying to learn all I can.
We adopted a beardie from a family member and his partner and he told us that she would hiss and get mad at them a lot, but she has NEVER done that to me and my partner. I’m just so glad that we have given her a better home and that she’s MUCH happier and thriving :)
Awww that's awesome! So glad she's doing better 🥰
OMG! Im a bearded dragon owner and I never knew about the tail whipping I WILL NEVER HOLD HIM LIKE THAT AGAIN!! That was bearded dragon life-saving thank you!
man I got my beardie back in january and when i tell you that LizardGuru and you taught me everything, y’all really taught me everything. keep making the great content!
That's so awesome! I'm so glad the videos are helpful! I hope you're enjoying your beardie, they're such cool lizards 🥰
I got my baby beardie a few hours ago. I named him/her after my favorite pizza place Guido. He ate 2 mealworms for me a couple hours after I got him. He’s the sweetest animal I’ve ever met and is my first reptile. I was gonna get a snake but they didn’t have any at the pet store so I just got a cute beardie instead. I gave him a 40 gallon and he only used like 10 gallons. About to have my first night with the beardie. He only uses the 10 gallons so I had to move the water dish… He loves being held and is in good Heath! Also obsessed with the basking spot!😆 won’t leave… ever…
@@snakesrule7067 hey man that’s great! only things id say is give em a couple days to themselves first to let them feel out their new environment, let them explore and make it home. also its ok abt the basking light lol, he might just be cold or realizing that’s his basking spot. good luck tho dude! hope you love him they’re great pets🤩
My Beardie gives me the cold shoulder…
Small back story first: We rescued an 18 month old beardie, who we found out a few weeks later, from abnormal behaviors becoming more obvious that she had a calcium deficiency. At first she was pretty lethargic and pitiful. Her legs were swollen, etc. After a trip to the vet that included blood work and shots, we were sent home with liquid calcium and a medicine dropper. Sisu did not appreciate the tiny rubber spatula being wedged in between her lips, much less, the liquid squirt in her mouth BUT after about 4 days of this, she began to feel better and finally decided to show her personality!! Still irritated about the meds, after giving them to her she would turn her back to me and look straight ahead as if she was giving me the cold shoulder for as long as I was talking to her. As soon as I stopped talking and pretended I was gone, she would slowly turn her head as if she was checking to see if I was still there! When I started talking again she would again turn her head forward to look away like,” I’m still mad at you.” She is soooo sweet and has a HUGE personality. She runs to us now when we walk toward her enclosure and when the door opens, she is ready to be picked and a couple of times has jumped toward hands/arms and go snuggle up on a shoulder. I am grateful for the ability to have rescued this sweet girl and also for Elle, as she has been a lifesaver in sharing her beardie knowlege!
Definitely great to mention the eye bulging. That freaks out a lot of new beardie owners. I'm glad I read something about that before getting mine lol.
It's worth mentioning, they usually do this with closed eyes when shedding for relatively brief amounts of time. If their eyes bulge when open or for an extended amount of time, it could be a sign of high blood pressure.
I suspect that my beardie follows me around his tank. My bed is on one side and computer on the other and without fail he always seems to be just behind my head, watching...waiting.
While he doesnt glass surf to get my attention I have noticed he flexes his beard once or twice and then dramatically flops down into a very sulky pancake until I come over. He tends to do this a lot close to his thermostat turning to night mode, since he falls asleep in my lap each night.
Awwww that's so cute. Beardies are so dramatic haha
Scientific studies are also a great source of information on behaviours/body language if you’re more interested in the nitty gritty stuff of your bearded dragon. There are tons of studies about stress, comfort, how they act in the wild etc! But like Elle says a lot of it is just getting to know your bearded dragon! Just remember to respect their boundaries as they are solitary animals. A big red flag is any new behaviour or them acting differently than usual, especially if it’s for a long time so keep an eye on that 😊
Yes! Very important to learn to respect their boundaries. So much stress could be avoided if everyone followed that advice. 😊
@@ellesreptiles So true 💕
Thank you for all your info. Because of this channel, I am getting a bearded dragon in 2 days!
Yay! Congrats! 🎉
How is your bearded dragon doing ?
@@haydenmccaffrey3091 Thanks for asking! He's been doing great, and seems happy with everything (They are much cuter in real life lol)
My baby falls asleep on my chest every night, if I put her down too quick she wiggles back in my hand. So cute ☺️ she spoiled as hell
That's so cute 🥰
mine too 😂
❤️❤️
My bearded dragon, Gavin, will sit on my chest/shoulder area. He then decides he is going to nap and does this really adorable "scrunch-wiggle." Love it 💓
Awww 🥺♥️
My bb will scrunch wiggle too
My Gobber head bobs at me until I take him out of his tank so he can lay on my chest and falls asleep there. He is so spoiled. I just love him
How is your bearded dragon does he still do this?
@@haydenmccaffrey3091 He is great and yes he does all of the time to get my attention.
I want a bearded dragon do you think the make good pets
@@haydenmccaffrey3091 I love my guy but he is a lot of work. You have to have the correct lights and temperature. To me it is very stressful. I am always worrying if I am doing it correctly so I don't hurt my sweetheart. Would I do it again Yes in a heartbeat.
@@rennieleroy6319 would you recommend a Bearded dragon
My bearded dragon will try to eat something and miss a couple times and then give up I’m like are you hungry or not LOL 😂
Omg that happens to mine that what he does mine if it's there fav food he will almost eat the thing I'm giving the food to them
@@Bearded_dragon_mama it’s so funny to watch
@@mrcatgamer2416 yes it is
Good job! Rosa my bearded dragon will always judge whoever walks by her tank from her hot spot. I find animal communication to be very fascinating!
I really appreciate how informative your channel is on beardies, you’re really my go-to guide on taking care of them!
Awww thank you 🥰 I'm so glad the videos are helpful!
We just got a new bearded dragon just over this past weekend, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this precious little guy. Thank you so very much for the video! ❤👍
Oh!!! We brought home our first reptile last night, a juvenile male bearded dragon!!! I did months of research and found him as a rehoming situation from a young college guy who realized he didn’t like insect feeding… Thank you so much for your videos that have helped pave the way for us to be ready for him! 💚🦎🐸🐍🐢
Good morning Elle, hope you're Sunday is amazing!! You have such a cute bearded dragon.
I hope yours is too! And thank you 😊
@@ellesreptiles thank you Ma'am 🙂
So happy I found your channel and my beardie Oden is happy too!
Just got our beardy 2 days ago. He's about 6 to 8 weeks. Been doing research all over the internet for months including this channel. I love your information and zazz. She's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and her with us.
Love your videos. I have learned a lot from you. Yesterday I went out and bought some Kale and Collard Greens. Although he is a baby Drogo loves the Kale. Oh I also got a good size storage container for crickets. 3 times the size of the Large cricket keeper that Petco sells and a 1/4 of the price. So glad I found your channel.
I'm so glad I could help! And yes, storage bins are definitely the way to go - saves so much money. 😊
My bearded dragon is still a juvenile. I see a lot of people complaining that their beardie doesn't want to eat its vegetables but will eagerly munch on bugs. My beardie doesn't seem to like bugs that much. Half the time he refuses to eat them or acts as if he's annoyed that I'm giving him bugs, but he seems to like his vegetables and fruits.
I read that flowers are safe to feed to bearded dragons and I have rose bushes in my garden. I checked and roses are safe for beardies. I gave him a few pink petals and a few red petals. He ate the pink petals, but when I first offered him a red petal, he freaked out with a puffed up super dark beard and open mouth as if the rose petal was a predator that might hurt him. I wonder if it has to do with the color because red insects often are dangerous. He eventually calmed down and ate it, but I thought it was pretty funny he was afraid of a rose petal.
New Beardie owner here. I’m soo happy to find your educational videos. Saved me from many no nos. I have a 6-7 month old what I believe is a girl. I never imagined that she would steal my heart. TY Elle you’re the 🐝 knees
I just got a bearded dragon and your channel has helped me so much.Your smile is absolutely beautiful.
I'm so glad it helped! 😊 And thanks
@@ellesreptiles I got him Saturday and me and My Wife went out for the day.I explained to him that it is one week.I picked him up at 2 am Sunday Morning and called out of work today to play with him.I can't put him down.I got the coolest picture of him after eating a meal worm.He looks ferocious but it is so cute.He licks my face. Such a love bug.My Wife ordered me a sling carry thing and a leash.I am like 250 lbs.Big tattooed ex boxer rough life,turned Muslim but was missing something. It was him and next week I will be walking around with a tan sling because it matched skin tone better then the rest.Then he shed in like 5 hours so now I am ordering another one because he's brighter now.
AWESOME VIDEO 🤩🤩😍 love the beardie videos love this channel u saved me and my dragon well done!
Awww I'm so glad the videos help! 😊
You answered one of my questions! Mine does what my kids call “parkour” but I’m guessing it’s because he makes a huge mess with his veggies and doesn’t like the mess. I’ve noticed when I clean the mess up he’s calm
Such a helpful video ❤ I just got my baby beardie for Christmas lol & he does most of these things but the more I notice I learn so much about him, its awesome 😅
On my 6th bearded dragon care / info video as we get closer to picking up our first one. So helpful!
That's so amazing that you're doing so much research! Love it. You're going to go great 🥰
i just got a beardie a couple weeks ago this helped me so much!! thank you!!!!
I'm so glad the videos have helped! 😊
My dragon loves for mentoring brush him with a soft tooth brush when he is shedding and its really cute how he gets his scratching on while I hold the brush for him.
You gave alot of helpful information 👍thank you!!!
Love your vids!! Your awesome, really really awesome!!
Your channel is fantastic 💕
I am getting a bearded dragon soon and I have been doing a lot of my research using this channel thank you
I'm glad the videos have been helpful 😊
I just got my first beardie after doing a lot of research and I am kind of amazed at how big of a personality it has. It has times when it doesn't want me in it's tank so I just watch from the outside, and other times it's trying to get my attention.
I set it's basking and UVB lights on a timer and the first day when they turned off he looked up and then immediately started scratching on the glass to get my attention. I told him it was night time so the light wasn't coming back on and he ran around for a minute and settled down.
I have a ceramic heater to maintain the temperature with a nice gradient of heat from one side to the other side of the tank. I am not sure if it is a male or female yet.
My roommate rescued 2 beardies a couple days before I got mine, mine is only a couple months old, and one of his was head bobbing and puffing his throat so I put a piece of cardboard between the tanks. Both of his are males but one is definitely an alpha and the other is super laid back. Mine did the arm wave a couple times but his was pecking at the glass towards mine while mine was trying to take naps so I wanted to stop that. He was basically bullying. For an hour his was running around like a magician maniac trying to figure out how to see mine. Mine also wanted the cardboard removed but I haven't removed it. After a couple days like that mine is much more comfortable and able to rest finally.
don’t forget: staring off into space means they’re buffering. life is hard when you have all of two brain cells
Good Morning Ellie I like this video on body language. My 6 month old is just getting braver about things now, I do the wave to him because he was always so scared of me doing things in the tank and it seems to be making him more comfortable about me being around when I do the wave. When I talk to him how he will sit and turn his head sideways and lessen to me so cute.
GOD BLESS and have a great Sunday
Thank you! 😊 I love that that helped make him more comfortable. That's super interesting
I remember when my bearded dragon first puffed out his eyes, I started freaking out cause I thought he was about to die or something and then I looked back and he was normal. This really helped me understand him more and I have a very healthy beardie right now
Thank you , we have taken a lot of notes x
My dragon has this one spot in his tank that he loves and he is ether in his spot or in his cave and he is so cute when he lays in those spots.
thank you so much or this. i got a bearded dragon this christmas and he kept doing weird movements and i didnt know why. so thank you!
Love your videos!
Thank you this helped a lot!
Thank you for your videos I just got my bearded dragon and he has stress lines and his neck his dark I learn a lot from you and I ordered dubia roaches thank you they will be here Wednesday 😊
This video was so much fun to watch!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Thanks as a kinda new dragon owner (well its my 7 year olds) this was all very helpful and you are good at keeping attention with good info thanks
Lots of good info, thank you.
Love this vid!! Even though I have knowledge of bearded dragons, there's so many channels or vids that pretend to be professional or knowledgeable. When In fact, they don't & spread mixed opinions or misinformation.
Good info didn’t know about the stargazing
I’m cramming; watching your channel along with Lizardguru’s for when my fiancé’s dragon moves in with me next Wednesday c: he says she’s super lazy and chill but I’m hoping to really understand Freyja and beardie language
We’ve had our baby for a little over two months now he’s almost 7 months. His name is Khan. He took sometime getting use to us but now he’s showing us how much personality he has. He loves running, jumping and climbing all over his enclosure and we have started letting him free roam the house a bit(we’re a bit of helicopter parents atm). So we always pick him up and replace him if we need to and he’ll run right back to where we picked him up and sit there and wait, he’ll do this a couple of times. It’s really cute. He’ll also creep to the glass and quickly pop his head up and then he’ll slowly lower it down it one more time then run away. 😂we think he’s playing peekaboo.
My beardie, Manolo Emilio, LOVES sleeping. He falls asleep around the same time in the evening even before I turn out his lamps. Every morning I wake him by turning his lamps back on and he just lays there all limp, and cracks his eyes barely open and just stares at me while I gently tell him good morning handsome boy! It takes him a good half an hour to 45 minutes to actually start to perk up and get moving lol. He is not a morning person at all, but I think he likes our morning routine as much as I do 😊
my bearded dragon has puffed up, hissed, and her beard has gone completely black on me when i’ve tried to pick her up. I had brought her into the bathroom for a little bit to get some extra exercise without the cats around and she wasn’t too happy about going back in the tank.
A little background, she is around 1-2 years old and was poorly socialized in that time. I’ve only had her about 2 weeks.
My babe “2Chainz” pancakes himself almost everyday. My best guess is that he is trying to warm himself or he’s really comfortable.
thank you so much i am condersitering getting one so i am watching and reaserching about them
our baby dragon is super cuddly. Tiny likes to rub his head on us like a dog doea to show love and turns his head when we are talking to us. he will crawl into our shirt to go to sleep when we are holding him.
My bearded dragon likes to lay on my chest and get petted. He gets so relaxed, he ends up taking a nap.
I really love your videos. I have 5 beardie bungalow dragons. And these are my 1st dragons I'm really gonna need some help. And your videos have really been helping me thanks so much❤️❤️❤️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🥰🥰
I got my beardie (Olly) yesterday and I am completely OBSESSSEEEEEEDDD.
Whenever I hold mine her orange just gets rly bright like rly bright
I owned a beardy a long while ago and he was my best friend for nine years. I got him when he was five and I was six, which made him 14 when he died - quite a bit over the average age of 8-10. I still miss him dearly and I still remember all his weird quirks and how picky of an eater he was 😂 thanks for this video! I am hoping to get another beardy at some point and I’ll definitely be using the info in the vid to get back into caring for one!
i rescued my beardie from the wild and the area i found him at is heavily infested with snakes. i also own a shingleback and they get along well. when i first found him he mostly does not like being picked up but he got used to it. something i noticed is that when ever he is sitting on my arm while i play games he runs up my arm and lays on my keyboard and looks at me like "Play with me". i personally find that funny
Adopted spikie from my daughter what a personality he has absolutely adore him. Thank you so much for your videos!
Congrats on the beardie, and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! 😊
Good morning. I'm going to repticon Montgomery today!!! So excited wish I could meet your cool beardie but I know you're in a different part of Alabama. I'm bringing my sweet ball python.
I hope you enjoyed it! I've never been to one in Montgomery. How was it? 😊
@@ellesreptiles Honestly it was underwhelming. There were some cool animals there but mostly empty. My pet got a lot of attention lol. It was fun educating people about him though and he got a cool new hide.
Oh thank goodness. My juvenile beardie named Steven was doing the arm wipe and I thought something was wrong with him/something in the enclosure was wrong. Now I notice he is eyeballing his reflection when he does this, so I think that’s it.
Thanks I love bearded dragon videos
Thanks this is a big help
Had that head raising on my male some weeks later buying him from pet store. He most did a 180 degrees turn with his head, so almost on his back. Went to vet and she handled it. He's now almost 13yr old and healthy.
i got my beardie about a year and half ago, she was about one, when i first got her she wouldn't let me in her tank when she was near the door, now she climbs all over me and she even tries to play with my cat but he just runs away, i'm now letting her roam the living room and the cat still runs away.
Thx for the info ❤
My bearded dragon is so grumpy in the morning. He won’t let me pick him up until after I feed him, then he’ll take a nap on me.
My beardie gets cranky when I move her from her napping spot on me, normally because I have to do something and have to put her up so I can do whatever is needed
"Being pale means they are relaxed and calm"
My hypo zero beardie constently running around, jumping off sofas, and pooping on the floor.
😂
Hey!!! I purchased one of my beardies from you about a year ago and I wanted to say he was in great shape!! You are a great reptile owner and he is a good strong Orville that occasionally poops in his lettuce. :)
That's so awesome that your bearded dragon is doing well! ♥️
I don't breed or sell any reptiles though, and never have 😅 but I'm glad yours is going great 😁
@@ellesreptiles Hmmm that's weird. 🤔 I guess I bought it from another company that just coincedentally had the same name as your Channel.
I think there's a breeder called Cam And Elles Reptiles. Maybe they were the ones?
@@ellesreptiles Maybe!
I have my bearded dragon pickle, He was found in a friend of my mother's backyard while he was mowing and he called my mum and she went and picked him off, round about that time it was near my birthday. She ended up gifting him to me.
And something weird he does is he will get to the highest point of anywhere he is, whether it's my chair, my bed, his tank, countertop, my cubby house, he will try jump off. it's so weird and I'm not sure why he does it but every time I catch him getting ready to jump, I will stop what I'm doing and make sure he doesn't hurt himself by either catching him or moving him.
My bearded dragon usually looks at me before she goes anywhere just to make sure that I see where she’s going or just looking to see if she can go over there and she also does this when knows she is not supposed to be there 😅
Thank you for an amazing video I have a bearded dragon named moochie and he loves cuddles he will lay on my lap
It's crazy your in Decatur, we lived in Huntsville
I was told that their beats being dark means they are happy or excited. So this is good to know now and I’ll be more careful with that. Also my bearded dragon is mostly just lazy. But I do my best to get him out some and walk around and be in the sun😇. Also your videos are really fun to watch so keep up the great work and take care. Be safe everyone
I'm so glad I could help! And that's good that you get your beardie out into the sun 🥰
I probably wanting to get one bearded dragon because of your beautiful channel dear ❤️
i just got my bearded dragon baby today and i notice that he/she is doing the stargazing but like toward the exact spot of the basking light, hopefully he/she will be alright
I got my beardie probably about 3 monthes ago and we got her from a family who didn’t keep him and his sibling in a safe invierment there were kept in a small cardboard box with only a heating pad and there we’re probably about 6 bear dies in there and All of them had limbs missing so I definitely couldn’t just keep them there so I bought one so did my best friend and now she is doing very well and is probably very happier then he was a couple months ago
I just got my dragon Osiris. He’s eight weeks old, and has been three days in his new home.
Just want to know that if I wanted to give him a bath - and he hasn’t been handled yet by me - is it fine and/or wise for me to scoop him up anyways, or just let him work at his own comfort level?
I’ve been trying to just get him familiar with my hand in the cage and sometimes he’s skittish, and very few times he’s not so much, and just more chill.
Anyways, i am loving your content! It has been super helpful and relieving!
You’re information is great! Thank you for sharing it.
Im doing my best to learn about Beardies, my sister recently got one as a pet (one of my dream pets) and i want to make sure Sparky (the beardie) can be as happy and comfortable as possible. She’s only 10 and i know she doesnt fully understand peoples feelings, so i just dont want her to accidentally mess up and have Sparky be unhappy with her. (Trying to be a good older sibling)
wow - that's a beautiful dragon you have there.....
i love my bearded dragon and those sighn's work thank you!!!
So glad it helped!
My beardie Pogo actually tends to puff up and turn black when I try to get him some sunlight. We have a covered and enclosed porch and when we first had him home I would hold him on the porch (after I knew he was comfortable with me) and he very much so did not approve.
I adopted a beardie a few months ago and for what we know it is a girl, sometimes when she it walking in the back of her tank she may see herself in a black part, it’s so funny because she tries to climb it and like hit it, it cracks me and my mum up heaps
We just rescued our beardie, he was dumped in a parking lot so we took him in. Toothless is wild AF. He got so excited the other day the dipshit fell out of his little tree on to his head to get to the cockroaches. My gf thinks I spoil him because I burrito him and i'll play ps5 for hours with him wrapped up and sleeping on my chest. I was glad when you mentioned that when they're mega relaxed they get pale because I was worried he was too cold. He has been awesome and I'm so glad we found him.
Than you sa much, that was helpful
Elle this was a amazing video and greatly appreciated. I’m getting my first bearded dragon tomorrow. Our family is so excited. I have dogs and tarantulas but never a reptile so I’m a little nervous. I do have a question for you. The breeder I’m getting her from has been doing this for 32 years and has rave reviews online and is respected. He does keep his dragons on an inch of sand)not calcium, organic play sand) Now I know the conflicting opinions on this but I did have a long convo w him. He says he’s been doing that substrate for 32 years and never had a issue w impaction. I also was nervous in getting a female bc of the egg thing and he laughed and said he’s only seen that once in 32 years so I also got a female. So what I took from him and my own research is I’ll be doing the sand but will only be feeding greens in a bowl in there and will be taking out to feed live food like roaches worms etc. what do you think of this? She was $500 so I don’t want to lose her for something stupid more importantly for the welfare of the animal but also bc $500 isn’t a little chunk of change. I also will be a new subscriber to your channel bc I respect and admire it. Btw I think you are very beautiful but I’m married so don’t get any ideas 🤣 JK thanks in advance for answering.
Hi! 😊
As long as it's not calcium sand, it should be fine. I used to often warn against "sand" in videos, just because if I said regular sand was ok, people would still get calcium sand 😣. But regular play sand is fine! I'll be doing a bioactive setup for my beardie soon, and the substrate will be play sand mixed with top soil (the same thing I use for my leopard geckos).
As far as egg binding, my beardie was egg bound and had to have surgery 😅. But that's because she was sold to me as a male, and then she developed eggs at less than a year old, AND the vet I was taking her to at the time didn't know how to really care for her, so even she couldn't tell me about the eggs. So it's not something that happens very often at all.
If the breeder is highly reviewed, you should be in good hands 🥰
And thank you so much for the kind words! 😊
Thank you this is vary helpful I got a baby bearded dragon I call them fraya
Ty so much my bearded dragon has never felt better
so when my bearded dragon is basking he dose gape but he also would like throw his head up like he is like yawning then he closes his mouth and puts his head back down.
My dad has a bearded dragon. Her name is Walter. It does nothing all day to be honest but when we do let it out, it’s sometimes just run around the house and sometimes it just sleeps in the same spot for days.
I recently bought a baby bearded dragon and I think it’s funny because it crawls back up my arm when I try to lower it in to its tank
Thank you so much for your channel. Am so glad I found you. I got my first beardie today, adopted him from animal care as his owner passed away. He is already 13 years old and such a beautiful calm old man. One question is want to ask is; as I want him in our lounge with us, is it okay to have our budgie cage in the same space as they chirp away and know beardies have super acute hearing. So far today he seems perfectly ok and eating his meal worms from hand and from his bowl. Does this mean it's okay and he not stressed out?
