My personal opinion it's not a lack of information on the Internet it's a lack of people researching and a lack of knowledge about the animals given by the sellers of these animals. I knew nothing about bearded dragons went online found everything I needed to know and had a 15 year old bearded dragon that was scale and Bone and had never eaten vegetables and its life. I had him eating vegetables in three weeks and potty trained to poop in his bath water and then I rinse him thoroughly with warm water. Now his enclosure is always clean because he does not poop in it and he is a happy and healthy bearded dragon.
They all love to dump in a warm bath since it does get their innards moving especially when/if they swim. but if they're young and poop nearly everyday like mine (~5-6 months old), its not recommended to potty train them in a bath because a bath everyday can cause health problems. adults dont poop everyday so that wouldnt be such an issue. they do enjoy a clean home so when they do the "i gatta take a dump" dance which includes glass surfing or gentle head butts against the glass, you take them out, let them roam around till they dump it out. if they're adults put them right in a bath. veggies...you trick them into it. put their insects that dont move too fast like superworms, silk worms, nutrigrubs (black fly larvae), dubia roaches, etc, in their salad bowl. they'll eat through the salad to get to the insect. or accidentally grab some veggies. you can also do the ole switcharoo.. go to hand feed an insect then quickly place veggies in their mouth.
Hey I love watching your episodes. You should make one about different diets for different age groups for beardies. I read several books, magazines, articles, but no one goes in to detail I know that most say you should feed them as much as they will eat in a 5 min span. How many times a day? How does it vary between age groups? I know 80% protein and 20% veggie for baby and then it flips when they reach maturity. changes slightly depending on breeders/vets, but what have you guys found? thanks.
Please make a video of what signs to look for when a bearded dragon has cancer? And what can a digestive problem lead to? (My dragon just passed away today and my vets away for another two weeks so I have no answers)😢 I’ve shared your video so many times with new bearded dragon owners and we all agree how this is the first informative video ever!
Sorry to hear about your dragon. Digestive issues are typically caused by internal parasites. Can lead to death for sure. Getting a fecal done early is key. It's important to get your dragon to a vet. when you see prolonged loss of appetite (outside of breeding), smelly, loose stools, blood in stool, darkening of the beard (outside of breeding signs), dragging of hind legs, etc.
guys this video was definitely worth the wait, it's funny that u said u got dragons now brumating b/c my male is doing the same thing but yeah it's always good to get a check up b/c parasites and brumation can have the same signs. always enjoy watching, looking forward for more videos
Thank you so much for the video guys! Was worth the wait. Lots of great info, made me feel like taking my boy to the vet to get a check up. I know he fine but one is never to safe. Can't wait for the next video. Keep up the great work CCD,!
Hey Justin, thank you for the feedback. Just not enough time to produce the content we want. I hope to get back to some more videos soon. Any suggestions on topics that we haven't covered?
My juvenile bearded dragon is doing well, he is eating a lot and growing a lot but when I first got him he refused to eat for a while and I’ve taken him to the vet for that as well as. Taking him for symptoms of low calcium or mbd. but the vet said he was fine. Again my dragon has been great and hasn’t had any issues except.... he walks or stands on his wrist rather than his hands quite often. Whenever I go to set him down, he will stand on his wrist, I hate it. It worries me that he may have mbd?
Crickets can walk through waste that your beardie may eat that you've accidentally missed to clean up: So would you recommend feeding your pet (Beardie) in a different/more safe space/area?
Hi guys thanks for the great videos, I have two beardies and one is a baby about a month or two and the other is an adult and the adult bit the baby's leg, and I believe it is broken. Would there be any surgery possible to fix it or would it most likely be amputated? We haven't found any good vets that treat beardies in my area. Thank you
Thank you for the very informative video. This is the first I've heard that brumation can be in the summer. I'm hoping that's what my beardie is currently going through. July and all he wants to do is sleep. Just got him, so I don't exactly know what a true "active" or "normal" behavior is for him. Guess we are off to a specialist soon!
Very good an informative video. David I was wondering more abou where exactly are you located. I live in Sanford NC. I am interested in one of your bearded dragons. What is the price range.
Thank you for the video. You guys have the best videos out there. I am looking forward to getting my first beardie. Your yellow beardie would be called a hypo leatherback or silkie right?
thanks for the awesome videos! i was wondering if you can make a video about how to deal with a aggressive beardies if not can u answer it on a Q&A or let me know where i can learn about it. Thanks again i love your videos!
I have a beardie with what I believe is a respiratory infection, but there are no vets with 300 miles of me. Are vets able to treat via Skype, teams, zoom meeting?
Lucas. Just keep a close eye on him for yellow fungus. Sometimes it really doesn't look "yellow". Just keep soaking and get as much natural sun. Skin should come off if it isn't anything more than that. Good luck!
Hello! I have a 4 month old bearded dragon, his name's Griffin. :) Anyways, Griffin has been perfectly fine other then slight lethargy on occassions, should I be worried?More info:He habitually poops once a day white urate and a log poop I have once seen diarrhea poop but it was gone the next day. He has a long Ubv, 100w heat lamp, and a 20g tank, I dust the crickets with calcium 6 days a week, feeding him collard greens and acorn squash daily (though he rarely touches it) and he gets A sugar snap pea as a treat. (Maybe once every week or so.) I keep a water dish in his cage. If you see anything I'm doing wrong or missing please politely bring this to my attention. ;)I am a new bearded dragon owner and it could be possible I'm worried for nothing, I tend to be a worry wart. Do you think anything could be wrong? Thanks!
I'm in this position right now. I think ours is around 2-4 months. Any tips? I have 40 gallon tank. Repti matt. (No substrates) temperature set right. He or she lol doesn't seem to go to the cool side as much. And he poops in the basking area
My bearded dragon, he has been having shed patches on him that won't come off. And I don't think its yellow fungus, then he does not eat his veggies any more, at 1 year old. Could you tell me what could be wrong? Thank you. You can see videos of him on my channel if you want to see him.
My bearded dragon won't eat. Maybe because he's shedding? And is it normal to have kind of a zebra print on their stomach? If not what causes it and how can I help.
My bearded dragon is 7 years old. For about a few months now he's had this cloudiness on top of his eye ball. The whole eye isn't covered yet though. Any clue to what this is or what I can do about it?
Hello Pogonavison. I recently bought a baby bearded dragon. He's about 7 inches long from head to tail. I was wondering, how Manny crickets should I feed him? I feed him 2-3 when I get up in the morning so around 7 Am. Then 2-3 when I get home, Which is around 3PM . It would help so much for a reply. Thank you
makayla leon Please view our video on "Feeding a Bearded Dragon". You need more animal protein for such a young dragon. Make sure the dragon is getting plenty of plant protein as well.
another important thing to look for in your beardie is heavy drool. That usually means mouth rot... I had to figure that one out on my own after spending over 6 hundred dollars and no diagnosis till I put the pieces together myself. Total nightmare. He is 7 years old and doing 90 percent better. There are no reptile specialists in my area. We had to drive five hours to get x-rays, blood work, fecal, ultra sound. She was an avian vet. So the internet saved my best buddies life. He was put on ceftadine ever 72hours. I ended up switching the vet prescribed pre-loaded needle and transferred meds to the U100 short needle that is used for insulin,. every time i went to give him the intramuscular injection he would "yelp" from the HUGE GAUGE NEEDLE. The vet finally agreed with my diagnosis,of infectious stomatitis. Only you know your reptile and what you did for him to get ill. Buy books on bearded dragons, and double check your husbandry. If i hadnt put him out in the hot Oregon sun in the back of my truck every day this past summer he would not have been able to fight this off well. Also, make sure you switch your buddy's food, variety.
I to want to thank you for the intresting info my grandson has had 2 dragons and the one he has now is sick he says no but I love anaimals and kind my grandson tells me to stay away from him I want one of my own but cant afford one some day I will
Hello, I have a 5 mos old beardie. As of late,he has this yellow color on his underside, around his beard to throat - shoulders and none on his belly. He has been eating fine, and pooping well all over the place. I'm just a bit worried whether this could be yellow fungus or not?
Pogonavision Nice they are very helpful videos,Im looking forward to more,Ive always had arboreal species of reptiles, the bearded dragon will be my first terrestrial reptile.
My bearded dragon Luna is a little over a year now, and she has a puffy eye. It's not big like I've seen In pictures when I'll looked it up, and it's only under one eye(right eye). What does this mean, and should I see a vet?
+Chloe&Luna i have seen them get whats like cysts under their eyes....they are mostly benign but can get large and effect their vision....take him to a vet asap its best to deal with them when they are small and can be laser off
My beardie exhibited symptoms such as walking in a drunken circle, head cocked facing the sky, and no appetite. This was not covered in the video. She died within 2 days if showing symptoms. What was the cause?
EgyptianGod0 Your sub means they are on call for your questions 24/7? as far as being dead from a month of you sitting there with a thumb up your ass waiting for someone else to answer your question, I highly doubt that. I have bought 2 dragons and upon getting them found they hadn't had bulbs on them. They do now, but that because I did my own research and didn't wine and bitch when others didnt answer all of my questions.
I was just wanting to contact you guys about the sale of your bearded dragon I went to your website but I can't see any link to email you guys. Any information will be highly appreciated.
Danny Mckee Hey Danny, no single answer here. Individual dragons are just that, individuals. They grow and different rates and some never get that large where others may end up weighing 700ish grams. Just important to watch your dragon and keep the weight in check with the length and don't overthink it.
My 10-year-old bearded dragon snowflake, she often trips when walking and has trouble aiming with her tung to eat her food is this normal for oldish bearded dragons? also, she does that gulping thing, she sticks her head up and pulls in her beard a bit , but she doesn't have any of the other respiratory infection symptomes besides breathing heavily and taking long breaks before breaths
I am doing my homework before getting my own rankin or bearded dragon. After handling dragons do you suggest washing hands afterwards? I hear humans can get salmonella.
If you're going to get a bearded dragon I suggest potty training it if you want to know how to potty train a bearded dragon let me know and I'll tell. I have carpet at the bottom of my bearded dragon's tank I know it sounds crazy but it's gorgeous and it's always clean. My bearded dragon never smells his tank never smells and I've always giving him kisses never once have I had salmonella and I don't wash my hands after handling him because he's clean. :-) the only way you would contraction salmonella from your beardie as if they're living their own feces and you're not bathing them frequently.
Also when handling your bearded dragon you should always make sure their front and back feet have a sturdy place to stand if your bearded dragon's tail is flailing that means it does not feel safe and it's unbalanced and it is scared this can cause a distrust and hurt the relationship by breaking the safety and Trust. they are little and if their tail is flailing their heart is racing! Do everything you can to bond with your dragon. I don't really like this video they don't give enough good tips and my bearded dragon never tries to run away from me like these ones are doing. He's always snuggling his head against me sniffing me cuddling up and also make sure you've got hammocks something cozy and soft blanky maybe something handmade and rock for them to perch on a stick for them to climb on they need things to do inside that tank and they need a place to hide. As bearded dragons also go into brumation. put yourself in their shoes how bored would you be if you couldn't get it out of your glass enclosure if there was nothing fun to do it would feel like prison. Thank you for reading my book LOL I know this was long-winded my bearded dragon was almost dead when I got him. He couldn't move his own head. I just love him so much and want to help anybody that's going to be caring for these great little creatures also I voice text so sorry about the lack of punctuation. Also anybody looking to get a bearded dragon I suggest you go to lizard Guru on UA-cam she'll give you lots of helpful tips as well. Forgive me for the book. LOL I'm just irked the lack of information from these people that are supposed to be professionals.
tivoGaming Nothing to worry about. Many bearded dragons will suck in air and hold their breath when they are in water or even afterwards for a bit. Tends to go away with age.
Hi, I have a 10mnth old breadie named Iggy, she hasn't ate anything in 12days. she's lethargic, her poop looks like lite brown mucus and the part that is supposed to be white is yellow. I took to to the vet he couldn't find anything wrong but its hard where her stomach and liver are. he said it could be something stuck or cancer. he gave me a laxative to give to her. which Im on day two. and in her poop was blood and it was lite brown mucus with tiny white specs looks like sand particles. but she doesn't feel any better. I have papertowels as her floor. I rep glow 10.0 desert light. I bath her reg. I gut load her super worm and crickets she always has dark greens and veggies. Basking light. I keep her 50gal clean. I have no idea how she could have something stuck in her. I cut everything so small. I keep her warm. I thought it was parasites but its not. do u have any advice on what I can do to get her to start feeling better again. And is there any supplements that I could be giving her since she's not eating anything at all. please help thanks
You should never be concerned about getting rid of "all" internal parasites. It is normal for a dragon to have them and they key is to make sure they never get out of control. Do you do your own fecals?
@@Pogonavision no sir. I've studied about Pogonas for 7 months before I got one. I have great temps, one big piece of tile for substrate (fits directly into my 40 breeder), and overall great husbandry. Them having worms no matter what threw me for a loop though. I keep my enclosure clean and KaFear also. I hate thinking about parasites though. He's only about 3 months old now so when do you recommend getting a fecal?
hey guys I really hope I could get a reply my bearded dragon is 2 years old his name is gizmo :) and he is my baby. Tonight he has started to make a coughing/choking noise. he has never done this before today and it worries me, im hoping this isn't any sort of infection and was wondering if there could be any other causes? the choking noise is quite frequent like every 15/20 minutes and im not sure where I can take him that specialises in reptiles. thank you x
Definitely find a veterinarian. Sounds like an upper respiratory infection and most likely will need antibiotics. Make sure you check temperatures in his enclosure to make sure they are where they should be.
Hey pogonavision another question. Is it possible for me to overdose my dragons on calcium? I literally dust all of my vegetables and insects for my dragons everyday. I use the one that comes with D3. I especially see to that one of my dragons with mbd gets enough. Should I cut down on their calcium consumption?

Hey my bearded dragon looks like he goes into brumation, i took him to vet, and he said that he might just be sick. He almost do not eat, and all his symptoms are like brumation. But he is around 6-7month old. Can he go to brumation at that age? he started this behavior exactly at time it started to get cold outside.
I live in Canada, I realize that people don't explain enough about the eye infections and supplement and when to use it and feeding your bearded dragon . Feeding every two day is hard to watch. Just wondering If it is okay or not .Not giving the bearded dragon a bath.
I am worried about my bearded dragon its stool is a bit watery and it does the gulping where it puff out its beard a few times it is aproximetly 5 months old and growing very fast its markings and coloration are very nice, i tried raising the tanks temp but it seems not to like that its typicly in th upper 80s in day an around 82 at night, i have uvb 200 florescent bulb, 150w ceramic emiter and 150 watt basking light with uvb it gets gut loaded banded crickets 3 times a day but lately ive been giving superworms and wax worms as a treat and now it wont eat but a few crickets also once a week it gets vegies usualy mustard greens, kale, parsley turnup greens, all well rinsed and crickets are powdered but last 2 weeks ive been using rapeshy cal and minerlal powder it aslo has been laying flat lately it didnt do that b4 please help
John, I don't understand what UVB you are using. 200? And your basking bulb is a 150 Watt mercury vapor bulb? You should be providing a basking site that gets to be around 100F-110F. You then should have a cool side of the enclosure that stays around 80F. Dragons should be fed veggies everyday. Once a week isn't nearly enough. Please view the other videos on here and I would recommend getting your dragon to the vet. and getting a fecal test done. If the dragon is coughing, it may be the early stages of an upper respiratory infection.
can somebody tell me where I can take my bearded dragon to the vet here in Modesto California cuz he is not acting like normal he won't move won't eat won't drink water he just lays there
Your beardie may or may not be in brumation. Brumation is when a cold blooded animal like bearded dragons hibernate. But this usually happens in the winter. I also live in California and its hot as heck right now in summer. If you want to search for a veterinary hospital, just try googling vets near you or in Modesto. They should show results of vets near you. Just call in and check if they can check on your bearded dragon. Good Luck!
Great question and not an easy one to answer (at least for me). I tend to alternate with and without D3. It is a fat soluble vitamin. Good lighting and getting your dragons outdoors when you can is definitely better than having to supplement
I feed him small crickets and mealworms that I dust with calcium I also feed him lettuce! So far I have only seen him eat one cricket and 3 Mealworms in 5 days!
make sure u have proper uvb lights and diet.i rescued an iguana and she had issues moving. I took her to vet she had water buildup in legs and scoliosis of the spine from the people who had her only using heat lamp
You shouldn't need more than a 60 bulb, anything higher than that is most likely way too hot. I leave my heat on as long as I do the UVB light which is about 12 hours each day, unless I am trying to breed them, but that's another subject for another day. They need UVB, I use RetiGlo 10.0 and leave it on between 10 - 14 hours a day. They Do Not need heat at night. The optimal temperature during the day is between 90 and 100 degrees, at night it should never drop below 69 degrees.
Carroll Adams I use a 150 watt basking bulb, it’s what I need to get the temps correct. Ya never know, every climate is different and tanks are different,so every tank/viv requires different things.
So sorry I couldn't see this sooner :( my dragons name is Rex too, he's just a baby but I've already gotten attached to him. I can't imagine him dieing
You can keep a few females together. You can keep one male one female but it isn't recommended as they will reproduce and that isn't really recommended as there are too many already at the moment. Two or more males together will end up like the hunger games.... Not good. In summary if you want to keep 2 or more together go for all females :) Hope this helps!

6:19 The great escape!.. foiled by the lady doctor
7:26 Another attempt
Thank you both so much 4 this video it was so educational in letting me see I'm not quite ready for a bearded dragon yet

When will you upload more videos? This information is great!
I have such good intentions to make more. Just a little crazy around here with 4 kids all playing competitive sports. LOL
guys this video was definitely worth the wait, it's funny that u said u got dragons now brumating b/c my male is doing the same thing but yeah it's always good to get a check up b/c parasites and brumation can have the same signs.
always enjoy watching, looking forward for more videos
Thank you so much for the video guys! Was worth the wait. Lots of great info, made me feel like taking my boy to the vet to get a check up. I know he fine but one is never to safe. Can't wait for the next video. Keep up the great work CCD,!
Very informative video. One day I hope to be a mix between the both of you. An exotic pet and avian veterinarian and a reputable reptile breeder.
+Raymond Hung Thank you for the kind comment! I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!
+Pogonavision Thank you
Why no more vids, buying a dragon and thought these where awesome. Please come back, I NEED HELP!!!
Hey Justin, thank you for the feedback. Just not enough time to produce the content we want. I hope to get back to some more videos soon. Any suggestions on topics that we haven't covered?
Could you show the people how to bathe a beardie properly if you start back
buy books... the more you know, the longer they live
Thank you so much for this information. It has helped me be aware of things to watch for.
Great video! Sat and watched the whole thing.
Thank you very much! Glad that you enjoyed it.

Thank you ! You should do a video either on breading or how to prepare for hybernation ...
Thanks for all these helpful information I just wish the sound was a little bit better was really hard to hear but it did pop my ears the ending music
I agree. Thanks for subscribing
Hi guys thanks for the great videos, I have two beardies and one is a baby about a month or two and the other is an adult and the adult bit the baby's leg, and I believe it is broken.

I'm in this position right now. I think ours is around 2-4 months. Any tips? I have 40 gallon tank. Repti matt. (No substrates) temperature set right. He or she lol doesn't seem to go to the cool side as much. And he poops in the basking area
thanks for another awsome video! Can't wait to see more from you guys
I have a 40 gallon and a double dome uvb and basking side but am having trouble getting it hot enough what should I do???
My bearded dragon, he has been having shed patches on him that won't come off. And I don't think its yellow fungus, then he does not eat his veggies any more, at 1 year old. Could you tell me what could be wrong? Thank you. You can see videos of him on my channel if you want to see him.
Am I the only one who noticed the microwave in the background?
Oh see made me go full screen
Great video! As always Guys* ...Well worth the wait!
My bearded dragon won't eat. Maybe because he's shedding? And is it normal to have kind of a zebra print on their stomach? If not what causes it and how can I help.
Can you house two bearded dragons together.. like a female and male
bout time u made a video! i love u guys!!!
I was wondering if you could take your reptiles to a normal vet because i do not think there is an accual reptile vet where i live?
Man great video I am in that confusing spot whether my dragon is brumating or sick!
What makes you think your dragon could be sick? If concerned, time for a vet. visit to confirm.
Yeah I have visited my vet and got the Meds needed to treat my dragon what made me think ha was sick was blood in his stool!
My bearded dragon is 7 years old. For about a few months now he's had this cloudiness on top of his eye ball. The whole eye isn't covered yet though. Any clue to what this is or what I can do about it?
Hello Pogonavison. I recently bought a baby bearded dragon. He's about 7 inches long from head to tail. I was wondering, how Manny crickets should I feed him? I feed him 2-3 when I get up in the morning so around 7 Am. Then 2-3 when I get home, Which is around 3PM . It would help so much for a reply. Thank you
makayla leon Please view our video on "Feeding a Bearded Dragon". You need more animal protein for such a young dragon. Make sure the dragon is getting plenty of plant protein as well.
another important thing to look for in your beardie is heavy drool. That usually means mouth rot... I had to figure that one out on my own after spending over 6 hundred dollars and no diagnosis till I put the pieces together myself. Total nightmare. He is 7 years old and doing 90 percent better. There are no reptile specialists in my area. We had to drive five hours to get x-rays, blood work, fecal, ultra sound. She was an avian vet. So the internet saved my best buddies life. He was put on ceftadine ever 72hours. I ended up switching the vet prescribed pre-loaded needle and transferred meds to the U100 short needle that is used for insulin,. every time i went to give him the intramuscular injection he would "yelp" from the HUGE GAUGE NEEDLE. The vet finally agreed with my diagnosis,of infectious stomatitis. Only you know your reptile and what you did for him to get ill. Buy books on bearded dragons, and double check your husbandry. If i hadnt put him out in the hot Oregon sun in the back of my truck every day this past summer he would not have been able to fight this off well. Also, make sure you switch your buddy's food, variety.
Kudos to you for staying on top of it. Great advice!
There isn't a lot of vets that would take reptiles so its hard to make sure if the reptiles are okay
I have a question. Will a pregnant bearded dragon go into burmation? I would really appreciate your feed back. Thank you.
My baby bearded dragon won't eat, I have had her for a week, she is drinking great. She is not lethargic. What should I do?
what do u recommend for lighting. Was looking at zoomed reptisun ho t5 with uvb 10.0 light. Is the ho to bright or is it better to use the t8 fixture
I live in Germany....who do I find a vet that will do these animals here?
I to want to thank you for the intresting info my grandson has had 2 dragons and the one he has now is sick he says no but I love anaimals and kind my grandson tells me to stay away from him I want one of my own but cant afford one some day I will
how can beardies get intestinal worms ? im scared mine has some because he barley eats even tho he a big beardie (with a small stomach tho)
Hello, I have a 5 mos old beardie. As of late,he has this yellow color on his underside, around his beard to throat - shoulders and none on his belly. He has been eating fine, and pooping well all over the place. I'm just a bit worried whether this could be yellow fungus or not?
he may be changing phase, like color, but i would not think he has the fungus
Great job Dr. Leo! :O)
Any plans for future videos?
We have some ideas so hope to move forward with some more videos
Pogonavision Nice they are very helpful videos,Im looking forward to more,Ive always had arboreal species of reptiles, the bearded dragon will be my first terrestrial reptile.
Is it true that a bearded dragon can't breathe if it's on its back? Internet info seems to have yes and no, so I am confused. TY
+m They will struggle greatly to breath like that yes. Avoid it with any reptile lacking a diaphragm.
Can you please please help me? my lizard has sunken in eyes and I was wondering what it was. Can you help me? Thank you!
He also is going limp whenever i tilt his head up.
My bearded dragon Luna is a little over a year now, and she has a puffy eye. It's not big like I've seen In pictures when I'll looked it up, and it's only under one eye(right eye). What does this mean, and should I see a vet?
+Chloe&Luna i have seen them get whats like cysts under their eyes....they are mostly benign but can get large and effect their vision....take him to a vet asap its best to deal with them when they are small and can be laser off
My beardie exhibited symptoms such as walking in a drunken circle, head cocked facing the sky, and no appetite. This was not covered in the video. She died within 2 days if showing symptoms. What was the cause?
Sounds like a neurological issue. Sorry to hear about your dragon
Ur beardy was having seizures
My bearded dragon nose looks like its closed is that bad?what should i do about it?
How can i prevent them getting parasites? can i feed them exo terra cooked insects?
If you get a new beardeddragon should you tack them to the vet
If you have any concerns, yes. If all appears well, I wouldn't bother. An annual exam is always a good idea.
What is the difference between UVB and UVA? Do I need a UVB bulb even though I already have a UVA bulb?
Yes, they are completely different wavelengths. Dragons need their UVB
No need to answer about a month later, he would've died had I waited for your reply. You guys lost my sub weeks ago...
EgyptianGod0 That's why we have email.
EgyptianGod0 Your sub means they are on call for your questions 24/7? as far as being dead from a month of you sitting there with a thumb up your ass waiting for someone else to answer your question, I highly doubt that. I have bought 2 dragons and upon getting them found they hadn't had bulbs on them. They do now, but that because I did my own research and didn't wine and bitch when others didnt answer all of my questions.
EgyptianGod0 Very funny,great use of the internet i see!
I was just wanting to contact you guys about the sale of your bearded dragon I went to your website but I can't see any link to email you guys. Any information will be highly appreciated.

if a bearded dragon has eye infection what causes and how to deal with it
Lots of reasons a dragon can get an eye infection. Need to see a vet and get eye drops or gel. Ciprofloxacin is often prescribed.
My bearded dragon is a baby andit's left leg is soft it's right leg is hard what do I do
What weight should a 1 year old Beardie be?
Danny Mckee Hey Danny, no single answer here. Individual dragons are just that, individuals. They grow and different rates and some never get that large where others may end up weighing 700ish grams. Just important to watch your dragon and keep the weight in check with the length and don't overthink it.
My 10-year-old bearded dragon snowflake, she often trips when walking and has trouble aiming with her tung to eat her food is this normal for oldish bearded dragons?
also, she does that gulping thing, she sticks her head up and pulls in her beard a bit , but she doesn't have any of the other respiratory infection symptomes besides breathing heavily and taking long breaks before breaths
You need to feed snowflake more calcium and d3 and you Maybe need to change the bulb for your uvb light
thanks, I already feed her calcium powder and we change her bulb every 2-3 months but I'll try giving her d3
I am doing my homework before getting my own rankin or bearded dragon. After handling dragons do you suggest washing hands afterwards? I hear humans can get salmonella.
Bulldogger _22 I'd wash your hands, especially is you haven't bathed them in a while.
Absolutely!
Either that or don't put finger in any body cavity
If you're going to get a bearded dragon I suggest potty training it if you want to know how to potty train a bearded dragon let me know and I'll tell. I have carpet at the bottom of my bearded dragon's tank I know it sounds crazy but it's gorgeous and it's always clean. My bearded dragon never smells his tank never smells and I've always giving him kisses never once have I had salmonella and I don't wash my hands after handling him because he's clean. :-) the only way you would contraction salmonella from your beardie as if they're living their own feces and you're not bathing them frequently.
Also when handling your bearded dragon you should always make sure their front and back feet have a sturdy place to stand if your bearded dragon's tail is flailing that means it does not feel safe and it's unbalanced and it is scared this can cause a distrust and hurt the relationship by breaking the safety and Trust. they are little and if their tail is flailing their heart is racing! Do everything you can to bond with your dragon. I don't really like this video they don't give enough good tips and my bearded dragon never tries to run away from me like these ones are doing. He's always snuggling his head against me sniffing me cuddling up and also make sure you've got hammocks something cozy and soft blanky maybe something handmade and rock for them to perch on a stick for them to climb on they need things to do inside that tank and they need a place to hide. As bearded dragons also go into brumation. put yourself in their shoes how bored would you be if you couldn't get it out of your glass enclosure if there was nothing fun to do it would feel like prison. Thank you for reading my book LOL I know this was long-winded my bearded dragon was almost dead when I got him. He couldn't move his own head. I just love him so much and want to help anybody that's going to be caring for these great little creatures also I voice text so sorry about the lack of punctuation. Also anybody looking to get a bearded dragon I suggest you go to lizard Guru on UA-cam she'll give you lots of helpful tips as well. Forgive me for the book. LOL I'm just irked the lack of information from these people that are supposed to be professionals.
Dear Pogona vision My bearded dragon bloats when b4 or after i give her a bath im really really worried please respond
tivoGaming Nothing to worry about. Many bearded dragons will suck in air and hold their breath when they are in water or even afterwards for a bit. Tends to go away with age.
Thanks for responding :)
Hi, I have a 10mnth old breadie named Iggy, she hasn't ate anything in 12days. she's lethargic, her poop looks like lite brown mucus and the part that is supposed to be white is yellow. I took to to the vet he couldn't find anything wrong but its hard where her stomach and liver are. he said it could be something stuck or cancer. he gave me a laxative to give to her. which Im on day two. and in her poop was blood and it was lite brown mucus with tiny white specs looks like sand particles. but she doesn't feel any better. I have papertowels as her floor. I rep glow 10.0 desert light. I bath her reg. I gut load her super worm and crickets she always has dark greens and veggies. Basking light. I keep her 50gal clean. I have no idea how she could have something stuck in her. I cut everything so small. I keep her warm. I thought it was parasites but its not. do u have any advice on what I can do to get her to start feeling better again. And is there any supplements that I could be giving her since she's not eating anything at all. please help thanks
+JEN Steiner Was a fecal performed? Are you soaking Iggy?
Can you get rid of all pinworms?
You should never be concerned about getting rid of "all" internal parasites. It is normal for a dragon to have them and they key is to make sure they never get out of control. Do you do your own fecals?
@@Pogonavision no sir. I've studied about Pogonas for 7 months before I got one. I have great temps, one big piece of tile for substrate (fits directly into my 40 breeder), and overall great husbandry. Them having worms no matter what threw me for a loop though. I keep my enclosure clean and KaFear also. I hate thinking about parasites though. He's only about 3 months old now so when do you recommend getting a fecal?
@@Pogonavision thank you so much for the reply. Also, can the pinworms be transferred from Bearded dragons to dogs?
hey guys I really hope I could get a reply my bearded dragon is 2 years old his name is gizmo :) and he is my baby. Tonight he has started to make a coughing/choking noise. he has never done this before today and it worries me, im hoping this isn't any sort of infection and was wondering if there could be any other causes? the choking noise is quite frequent like every 15/20 minutes and im not sure where I can take him that specialises in reptiles. thank you x
Definitely find a veterinarian. Sounds like an upper respiratory infection and most likely will need antibiotics. Make sure you check temperatures in his enclosure to make sure they are where they should be.
yes if it is a choking sound then that is bad but if it is a cough which is kind of like a hiss then you should be fine
TAKE HIM TO THE VET FAST ! my bearded dragon made that anddd he went to the vet got some meds and died ;(
Hey pogonavision another question. Is it possible for me to overdose my dragons on calcium? I literally dust all of my vegetables and insects for my dragons everyday. I use the one that comes with D3. I especially see to that one of my dragons with mbd gets enough. Should I cut down on their calcium consumption?
Kevin i don't think its possible to overdose on calcium but i know they can definitely overdose on d3 ......
Kevin i don't think its possible to overdose on calcium but i know they can definitely overdose on d3 ......
thanks

Hey my bearded dragon looks like he goes into brumation, i took him to vet, and he said that he might just be sick. He almost do not eat, and all his symptoms are like brumation. But he is around 6-7month old. Can he go to brumation at that age? he started this behavior exactly at time it started to get cold outside.
+Misha Kory Same for me mine does the same things I live in a northern type of climate my bearded dragon wont eat ;-;
I live in Canada, I realize that people don't explain enough about the eye infections and supplement and when to use it and feeding your bearded dragon . Feeding every two day is hard to watch. Just wondering If it is okay or not .Not giving the bearded dragon a bath.
Hi Jeannette,I didn't understand your first sentence about eye infections. Who is recommending feeding a dragon every two days?
i have a baby dragon for almost a week and have not seen her poop and she looks swollon, what can i do? she eats flies crickets and vegies
Zé Marques give it a bath. try Roman lettuce
I am worried about my bearded dragon its stool is a bit watery and it does the gulping where it puff out its beard a few times it is aproximetly 5 months old and growing very fast its markings and coloration are very nice, i tried raising the tanks temp but it seems not to like that its typicly in th upper 80s in day an around 82 at night, i have uvb 200 florescent bulb, 150w ceramic emiter and 150 watt basking light with uvb it gets gut loaded banded crickets 3 times a day but lately ive been giving superworms and wax worms as a treat and now it wont eat but a few crickets also once a week it gets vegies usualy mustard greens, kale, parsley turnup greens, all well rinsed and crickets are powdered but last 2 weeks ive been using rapeshy cal and minerlal powder it aslo has been laying flat lately it didnt do that b4 please help
John, I don't understand what UVB you are using. 200? And your basking bulb is a 150 Watt mercury vapor bulb? You should be providing a basking site that gets to be around 100F-110F. You then should have a cool side of the enclosure that stays around 80F. Dragons should be fed veggies everyday. Once a week isn't nearly enough. Please view the other videos on here and I would recommend getting your dragon to the vet. and getting a fecal test done. If the dragon is coughing, it may be the early stages of an upper respiratory infection.
can use paper newspapers for bearded dragons
+jonathanr frenzel Absolutely!
Thanks so much
thank you! she is one beautiful looking vet dr...
+LLLReptile and Supply Co, Inc. your vids are so informative
can somebody tell me where I can take my bearded dragon to the vet here in Modesto California cuz he is not acting like normal he won't move won't eat won't drink water he just lays there
Your beardie may or may not be in brumation. Brumation is when a cold blooded animal like bearded dragons hibernate. But this usually happens in the winter. I also live in California and its hot as heck right now in summer. If you want to search for a veterinary hospital, just try googling vets near you or in Modesto. They should show results of vets near you. Just call in and check if they can check on your bearded dragon. Good Luck!
Steven Rushing did you ever find a vet? I am also in Modesto and recently rescued a beardie from a family member and wanted to get him checked out
What about calcium with d3 yes or no?
Great question and not an easy one to answer (at least for me). I tend to alternate with and without D3. It is a fat soluble vitamin. Good lighting and getting your dragons outdoors when you can is definitely better than having to supplement
My lizard stopped eating what should I do
+Gina Laughlin Could be a variety of things. If she isn't going into brumation, she needs to be seen by a vet. Could be internal parasites.
I feed him small crickets and mealworms that I dust with calcium I also feed him lettuce! So far I have only seen him eat one cricket and 3 Mealworms in 5 days!
My bearded dragon has trouble moving, anyone have any suggestions?
make sure u have proper uvb lights and diet.i rescued an iguana and she had issues moving. I took her to vet she had water buildup in legs and scoliosis of the spine from the people who had her only using heat lamp
aprildevost1 thanks
You shouldn't need more than a 60 bulb, anything higher than that is most likely way too hot. I leave my heat on as long as I do the UVB light which is about 12 hours each day, unless I am trying to breed them, but that's another subject for another day. They need UVB, I use RetiGlo 10.0 and leave it on between 10 - 14 hours a day. They Do Not need heat at night. The optimal temperature during the day is between 90 and 100 degrees, at night it should never drop below 69 degrees.
Carroll Adams I use a 150 watt basking bulb, it’s what I need to get the temps correct. Ya never know, every climate is different and tanks are different,so every tank/viv requires different things.
My bearded dragon Rex won't open his eyes and when he moves,he moves very slowly. Does anyone know what this means?
He is about to die
itgattabejoshable He already did...
+daikaiju lord i am so sorry for your lost, but he is in better place now
Ida Bieber Thanks, it really was hard to deal with at the time. But I'm happy to know that I can see him again someday.
So sorry I couldn't see this sooner :( my dragons name is Rex too, he's just a baby but I've already gotten attached to him. I can't imagine him dieing
I got my bearded dragon from pets,art and he is only 6 inches long and I got him 5 days ago and he won't eat
what?
i can't hear you.
Do u sell bearded dragons
He is in a ten gallon tank with reptile carpet a water dish a stick that is high to the light and the top of his hide that he likes to go on
It sucks ... I want another one I have a male 6 months old. We only have one cage
my bearded dragon name salley she hased ate in like a week
I have a heat lamp that is a 100 wat I think and a UVB light that is on 6 hours a day! I mist the tank 2 times a day
You can keep a few females together. You can keep one male one female but it isn't recommended as they will reproduce and that isn't really recommended as there are too many already at the moment. Two or more males together will end up like the hunger games.... Not good.
In summary if you want to keep 2 or more together go for all females :)
Hope this helps!
