Helpful for me since I just bought one from you guys. Thanks!!!
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks again!
?? I'm new to reptiles. My daughter got her 8 yr old son one 3 months ago and as usual I end up taking care of it. I thought a cold blooded lizard would be boring, but I've really gotten attached and so has she,"Mango". She isn't crazy about the kids, but we really have bonded. She is cuddling on my chest now. My concern is her lack of movement. In her very nice and expensive tank she lays on the same perch and when I take her out she rarely tries to explore. Her appetite is great and appears to be healthy. Should I be concerned or just chalk it up to being in a very new environment? She is about one year old. Never,ever thought a lizard would like me and for both of us to become attached. FYI, I'm 71yrs old and in great shape, so I expect to be her buddy for a long time. Thank you for your videos and an answer if given.
Hope you both are still close friends ❤❤
Great Video thanks for the Update you have a Beautiful Bearded Dragon
Very helpful I just got my first beardy today and although I’ve had many different snakes I love learning more husbandry tips about any pet I purchase
Don’t listen to this guy please go get a bigger enclosure minimum for an adult is 120 gallons so 4x2x2. You can start a baby in a smaller enclosure but they really need a bigger one
One thing to note: tank size is not accurate. An adult bearded dragon is almost 2 feet long from nose to tail tip. You should have a 4x2x2 foot tank or bigger. Most of the rest of what is here is good info.
I love these guys, they are the lazy cats of the reptile world
Thank You
Great comprehensive care video, well done!! I agree... Beardies are the best! I love their sweet personality and that forever-smiling cutie-patootie face of theirs!! 🥰💕
Thank you!
Wow its benjamin the tort! I watch ur vids 😁
@@pawsandclaws12 Awww, thanks!! 😊💕
You shouldn’t recommend 40 gal tanks. They do work, but are not ideal. Especially for an adult 40 gallon is the absolute minimum size you should consider
We just cleaned our tank and uploaded a video of it to our channel. Opinions? Had ours since a baby.. maybe need to upgrade to a 60 gallon? I think the setup is good tho. We’re no professionals. Just enjoy having a bearded dragon and not too hard to care for. Been fun!
I cut off the video when he said 40-60g. A baby can have that size but they will NEED a 120g when they are juvenile and adult.
Easy when their a adult vs anything younger than a juvenile. Cause they require so much when they are young vs an adult.
This is not true. Not sure how many dragons you have cared for and how many bearded dragon experts you know but we have over 15 years experience with these animals. A bigger enclosure size certainly does not hurt for adults but for the average keeper a 40-60 gallon enclosure is fine depending on the size of the animal. Please do your research next time you comment something like that.
Lmfao I don’t need to do my research. You never know how big or long they will get cause they can get a little bigger.
Again. Anything younger than a juvenile. Needs a 40-60g. But juvenile to adult need a 120g. Cause of growth , since they hit that within a year. Growing really fast.
Years of experience, means nothing. Trust me. I run into people that have 4-10 years etc. and they still make mistakes. Regardless, on what job they do. That’s a fact. In fact, idk why you even brought that up tbh. I was just talking about the tank and I didn’t like how it was specified so I left a comment and exit out. Simple.
@@TikisGeckos “experience”doesn’t necessarily mean right sorry 🤦♀️
@@TikisGeckos I disagree with you as well, just because you have been doing something that long doesn’t mean things/info don’t change.

love this. I miss having a bearded dragon I am going to be getting one here this spring as it is way to freaking cold here it drops to 20 degree's and some times even colder in winter. but I have the 55 gallon long I just need to get the lid for it and the lighting and heating for the beardy and the bedding I will be decking it out like it is a mansion. I can't wait til spring I will probably get two but i don't know yet. I am going to start breeding mealworms again and i want to try my hands at crickets and roaches but i haven't had any luck finding good care video of breeding roaches.
Keep in mind that a 55 gallon isn’t big enough for an adult bearded dragon, it’s far too narrow. Adults need a 4x2x2’ enclosure minimum, and larger is ideal.
@@nightinggale6470 oh i understand i don't plan to keep it in this forever just until he grows out of it.
Is all of the temp in Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Beardies are absolute sweeties
I have a question if you can help me ……I have adult breaded dragon who will not eat his greens , I have try some many different ways of tricking him onto eating them But he just won’t have them . Any suggestions or any ideas please I can really use some .
Holy shit! iI thought bearded dragons were aggressive. Wow! Now I am very interested.
If they dont Kno u they will bite u
My bearded dragon got out his cage and is no where to be found. I feel like he could be close, in yard somewhere. Any tips on how or what I can do to lure him home? I know it’s a long shot but hoping for the best here! Thanks
I’ll be having a 40 gallon rn but I’ll definitely upgrade to a 4ft tank when I’m out of school and have a job and also have a bigger place this is also my last year of school so I’ll get a 4ft pretty soon
this is literally me too lol
What do you recommend for some outside time?
Yes natural UVB is great for them, just make sure you are keeping an eye on them
How long does brumation tend to last with the beardie’s as there doesn’t seem to be a lot of information surrounding brumation in captivity and what is the best things to do during the brumation period?
It really depends on your area. I have had alot of beardies that do not go into brumation but we are also in south florida where we have pretty constant warm temperatures all year. It can be around 3 months but I have seen it vary through out the years. We just follow the animals behaviour and adjust the lighting period accordingly. For the average keeper I would say just keep taking care of your dragon the same exact way but understand that it will not have the same appetite as it does when its not in brumation. You can also shorten the lighting period from 10-12 hours to 6-8.
I'm in North Carolina and mine goes in to brumation for one to two months. He comes out as big or bigger than when he went in...I don't see how. He actually went in this past winter for five weeks, came out and ate some veggies and a bunch of dubia roaches and went back in for three weeks. We use him as a groundhog....lol
very informative! considering getting a dragon couple of questions?
cabbage good or bad for the dragons?
Honestly, I do not know! But there are lots of bearded dragon food charts online that will tell you
I keep mine in a 4x2x2 and not being a breeder I won't go any smaller. I will sleep better at night if nothing else...lol. I think the people breeding and selling bearded dragons should also tell interested buyers or people looking for information on them how many insects they really need as babies and juveniles. I had to breed dubia to keep a good fresh supply for my beardie without paying a fortune for insects. I know most are probably keeping them in too small of an enclosure, not giving them adequate light, and not feeding them correctly.
Can you do a video on nail cutting for a young bearded dragon
my always mad when I want pick him up he just wants throws claws with me every time lol
adult beardies need atleast 4x2x2 or bigger.
How different is the care for a uromastyx?
Similar but not quite the same. Uromastyx eat 99% veggies and could handle hotter temps. We will make a video soon
Thanks guys!
I just got 2 young ones from someone who didn't want them but got a really good tank is 5 foot by 2 foot tank with everything iv kept yellow belly sliders for 25+ years and I breed crickets and mealworm I don't think my woman would ever let rouchs in I'm lucky I get to keep maggots for fishing in a mini fridge in the shed
I have a very urgent question: Should I leave the bulbs on during the nighttime? If yes, which ones should I leave on?
No you do not need to leave a heat or UVB light on at night. As long as your house stays around 70- 80°F.
@@gabbymay4514 even less than 70 is ok
Water or no water. There are so many pro bearded dragon owners/breeders but they disagree on one thing - water bowl vs no water bowl. I don't know who to listen to....
Same...most breeders say no water as long as you're feeding them correctly. I haven't had a water bowl for over a year and mine grew fast, got fairly large and seems to be very healthy.
I’ve had several beardies and one of them actually did drink from the bowl. That being said, I always offer just in case. It’s not hurting anything.
It makes me sad to see 40-60 gal tanks still being recommended for adult beardies after all this time. Sure, they could live in it, but you could live in a 10ft by 5ft room your whole life too. Would you want to? There’s some argument for keeping them in smaller enclosures for breeding perhaps, but if they’re your pet, wouldn’t you want to give them a 120 gal? Just better quality of life, more room for enrichment. It’s the difference between living in a prison cell vs living in a small house. That’s my take anyway.
Can you just by the adult viv for the baby instead of buying twice ?
I have a small breaded dragon I don't wanna just sand do what else can I use ?
Reptile carpet, paper towels, newspaper, tile, pebbles
@@sadieb377thank you I needed to hear that lol since i currently do have a baby one as well with a carpet
@@michaelgarcia6210don’t use reptile carpet, it’s a breeding ground for bacteria and they can rip their claws off in it. If you don’t want sand use tile or shelve liner.

Man I'm early, getting my first tomorrow!
I’m in Canada and for some reason I do not understand Dubia roaches are illegal here.
Please stop recommending 40gl for a adult dragon 🤦♀️
40 gallon works just fine. Not ideal but stop acting like it’s the end of the world. The footprint doesn’t get that much bigger where it’s going to completely change their life if you move up 20-40 gallons.
@@rickymorcus8962 if it’s not much bigger of a footprint than it shouldn’t matter to get them the proper 4ft or bigger tank :)
My adult male lived his entire life in a 40 gallon and he was happy and healthy. If I got another beardie though I would use a 4x2x2 because it's just better to give them more space.
My tanks are 5ft long and 3ft wide. I have 2
@@lisawakelam8189how tall? 2 feet or more?
This just shows how far behind the USA is in terms of animal welfare and care/husbandry. In Europe where I am, standards have moved on quite significantly. 4x2x2 are seen the bare minimum enclosure size, not the recommended ideal size, which in some countries is now legally 5x3x3. This is because in something smaller, the dragon isn’t able to exhibit all of their natural behaviours such as climbing, digging and burrowing.
Normal standard in the US is 4x2x2 as well. This guy is just wrong.
My beardie roams with my 3 cats she thinks she is a cat lol
150gl minimum
Politically incorrect opinion: A 40 br. is just fine for most adult bearded dragons. The overall square footage of a 40 br. is not all that different. There is also no proven evidence of negative health welfare from them being housed in a 40 as long as other parameters are being met.
A 4x2x2 is almost 10 square feet more than a 40 gallon tank. You go from 6 square feet to 16 square feet. That’s more than double the room……. Just because you could live in a closet doesn’t mean it’s right.
Greater minimum enclosure sizes are arbitrary and unenforceable standards to begin with.
We are too focused on giving the animals what we think they want vs. what they actually want/need. People should remember that a larger enclosure is also actually going to be harder to achieve the optimal temperature & humidity in compared to the size/biomass of the animal in them. You can have a larger enclosure, but still be getting all of your other parameters incorrect; in this sense, this is creating a false sense of "doing better" just because you have a larger enclosure. A well-designed 40 gallon for a bearded dragon, which gets ample time out of the enclosure anyways, can be a better enclosure than just throwing one in a 4 x 2 with just a dollhouse and hammock and saying "it's good".
There's also the cost/barrier to entry which is the reason a 40 is still suggested. Fish keepers aren't starting out with the $5K marine saltwater setup; they are every mom and little Timmy getting their first Tetra or goldfish from Petco or Petsmart for $50. We don't want kids & families getting priced out of the game before they can even get started.
As a hobby, we need to start moving away from this "cookie-cutter"/one-size-fits all approach to everything and go back to addressing the needs of each specific species, and even individual animal.
Not sand!
cant i just give him protein powder
No…..
Don't use sand for the baby's though
I actually have a baby and currently only have those carpet looking as a floor thing but don’t know if that’s a good thing to have or not
@@michaelgarcia6210carpets are not recommended as they harbor a lot of bacteria and can trap their claws.
40 gallon for an adult is too small.
Cat
These guys don’t know what they talking about
Please Don’t Listen to This Page 🤦🏽♀️
Dont listen to the guy with 15 years of experience with bearded dragons, listen to this random person on YT because she is surely an expert
@@TikisGeckos40 gallon was the norm 15 years ago when you started. Literally every expert with the same amount of experience as you now says 120 gallons is the minimum for an adult.
