And now there’s a 40 gallon yet to be spoken for 😏 the never ending cycle 😂
Where Wolf Already thinking of some ideas for that one 🤣
I would just suggest a t5 tube light. That light doesn’t produce the amount of uvb they need as a desert species. That is probably why he’s not as active. I didn’t have the right light and mine acted like yours. But I got that exact zen habitats enclosure and I got a 12% t5 Arcadia light and mine is way more active. Also would suggest some top soil/play sand so he’s not sliding all over the enclosure. They have substrate shields for their enclosures. Especially because he’s older and it’s hard on his joints being on a harder ground.
Jackie Lavallee He had another uvb with this light in the 40 gallon, but the fixture broke. So I’ll be adding another to this enclosure so that he gets uvb when he’s not basking too. And that’s very helpful! I wasn’t aware of this with their joints. Thank you! 💕💕💕
I hope I wasn’t sounding rude! I had no idea either until I read a study on them and then I saw the difference in mine when I switched him! Mine is a rescue (I’m his 3rd home), so I don’t know how old he is. But with all the things I’ve added to his enclosure he’s acting young now!
Jackie Lavallee Not at all! You’re very helpful! Keep up the great work!
This is a great recommendation, and well done for making your point based on experience and education as opposed to implying that Trish is "'Doing it wrong". We need more Reptile enthusiasts with this attitude.
Now Dude just has more spots to be lazy in.
Susan Parks Exactly 😂
Dude is like my dog! Always just sitting around! Love your videos and hope Dude likes his new cage!
The enclosure looks absolutely amazing, hopefully dude enjoys his cage 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Do suggest a long UVB tube light of T5 HO so that when Dude leaves the basking light he doesn't have to give up on the UVB. Just a suggestion 😊 you are the pro. See you on your next video 😁
Kelly Wicker You are right! I am going to add another uvb on the other side just to make sure he’s still getting that uvb when he’s not basking 💕
HID lamps are actually stronger with uvb so I think she's doing a great job choosing this kind of light. They need some shadow too. 😊
Totally agree here! Beardies must have a tube style uvb to thrive. I’m sure you’d see his activity levels rise also. The reason he has such buggy eyes is because of lack of uvb.
@@taylorj9127 he already had those eyes. It didn't happen in her care. ;)
Shannon's Exotics makes sense. But switch to the tube style will still dramatically improve her babies life.
Hope you feel better! I’m sure lazy dude will enjoy his new scenery
Dude sure helped you proofing your point about him being lazy and not needing too much space xD Good on ya for providing it for him any way, looking cool! Gut issues I can relate to, so get well soon then and lucky you for not looking too shabby even when sick...
Oliver Stein Thank you so much! And I can always count on Dude to be lazy. Lmao 😂
I hope your pain passes soon! Great enclosure! I use solarsun for my iguana!
Taevian's World of Reptiles! Thank you!
It looks great! I think it’s more aesthetically pleasing as well. I hope dude enjoys it :-)
Dude is so cute! He'll probably like the space even if he only looks at it. 😂 The shop by me has suggested dwarf bearded dragons as a good starter reptile, but I'm definitely going to wait to get anything. I can't make up my mind.
Stephanie Putnam That’s a good plan though to make sure it’s something you’re fully ready to commit to before making the leap 💕
Hope u get better soon and good luck with your new bearded dragon's enclosure 😇
TrueSenpai- Thank you!!! 💕💕💕
The new enclosure looks so goood 😍😍 i bet Dude will love it!😍😍 i hope you will feel better soon lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Caro Giraldo Thank you so much!! 💕💕💕
this made my heart happy.
Get well soon... Everyone I know is sick right now.. Winter sucks. ❄️
Daveyboy Thank you so much! And I agree 😭😭😭 I cant wait for spring
Haha hes such a chill bearded dragon!!mine is crazy and I have to let him out to run once or twice a day!! Hes in a 40 gallon so I have to make sure he gets lots of exercise:)
Nice job kiddo love to put buddy in one of those and sorry you are not filling well get better love your videos kiddo thanks
Ugg I'm so behind on your videos!! I need to binge them to catch up!!! Love your videos!!
That's an amazing size! I would just utilize the space more. Give him more stuff to do, it will probably make him more active too. 😊
There's a lot of hight not being used right now. Maybe it's a cool idea to make a 3d background in the future. Obv a big project so not something to rush. But I think it will make it more appealing to him and you. 😁
oh man. My husband has diverticulosis, not the same thing obviously but I know how seeds can be irritating for him as well /:
Came out nice, dude is a fast mover you just can't tell bc he is super fast lol
xotic marvel reptiles 😂😂😂
Beautiful intro!!
Beautiful home for Dude!
Everyone has different opinions about substrate. For me, it will always be better for my Beardy to use loose substrate but if anybody else doesn't see it that way then I respect that. Your set ups is looking good :)
Is the loose substrate better for you or or beardie? Did he tell you that's what's best for him? And you didn't mention what kind of substrate, is it sand?
@@luvlost03 yes, I can talk Beardy... -__-
You want to know how I know is the best for my Beardy? By seeing how he does on it. I kept my Beardy for a year on tile and when I changes to soil mixed with sand he was more active and was always digging. Same when I added more wood. That's how I know it's best for my Beardy, the natural way.
JP'S Lizard World Thank you so much! And there are so many different ways to keep these animals. It’s great to respect how others may do it differently. We as care takers know what’s best for our reptile kids 💕
How are the solar sun bulbs I want to try it bc I have a strip uvb and it’s so hard to find the right type of bulb to fit right on the hood every year or 6 months and I dunno how those are ?
I have a 110gal habitat with five heat lamps (2 ceramic, 2 uvb and one halogen bulb). The temperature is only reaching 85° and my beardie is unhappy and not digesting well. Do you recommend one specific heating source or should I continue to add heating lamps?
That came out great 👍. I’m actually getting ready to upgrade my bearded dragon Sandy and this gave me some inspiration. Sorry to hear not feeling good today. I’d say stick to a banana smoothie with some plant based protein and almond milk. I like using Vega Protein and the more ripe the banana the better for you. Also Drink some golden milk to help with inflammation. Hope you feel better 🤞🤙
Whiskey Quests Thank you so much! I’ll definitely try that. And thanks for your support too! 💕
Fellow "chicagoan" here. Just stumbled on your channel.
I'm curious if he stays lazy. My Edgar has been super lazy all his life that I've had him (I adopted him when he was 4 and now he's 12), so I thought like you he wouldn't use a bigger cage. But he got more active just from me switching to bioactive so now I'm wondering if I don't need to save and buy him a ZenCage.
Are you going to buy some more things to go in that enclosure? It looks so empty. You will have to let us know if he becames more active? Knowing Dude he won't be we can hope:-)
Catherine Hadley So far he either basks, or sleeps in the same corner. Lol I didn’t want to fill it out too much with things so that he still has space to roam around.
Awesome!!!
Where can I get that type of light bulb from
Where did you get silkworms?
what kind of light is it
Think vendetta would of been happy that his tank is in good use
I did not know bearded dragons gaped like crocs. Also I am going to be commenting hi on your videos so that UA-cam sees it as an interaction and gives you money. I encourage others to do the same. Just saying hi can help alot. If you want to support youtubers.
Aaron Burkeen Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support! 💕💕💕
@@reptiliangarden Your welcome. Dis literally the least I can do.
Glad he got a nice upgrade! Did you need the spacers when Vendetta was in the enclosure?
Diana Dellose I did! Zen habitats actually noticed and sent them to me. I was able to keep the doors slightly open before for some air flow, but not enough for vendetta to escape. The door lock helped with that a lot
Reptilian Garden glad you were able to come up w a workaround!
My beardie hagrid is turning 8 in 3 weeks
dude period.
Why didn't you go bioactive?
iceman60101 It’s very complicated going bioactive with beardies. I find that this is the cleanest way to keep a beardie while avoiding potential impaction
To be honest I never liked the way bearded dragons look like in a 40 it just seems like a tight fit. I feel like they have so much potential to be active. But then again there really lazy. Also how big is the new tank?
I don't know a lot about beardies, so my question is: Why don't you use sand or substrate? My friends who have beardies usually use sand.
It looks really good tho & I hope you feel better soon! Ii'm sick too so yeah :/
Sand can cause death and many health problems in bearded dragons
Lanura Thank you so much! I hope you feel better too! Sand can actually be dangerous and cause eye issues, or impaction that can lead to death. It’s also easier to keep the enclosure clean this way!
@@reptiliangarden aah! Good to know, thank you for the kind response :)
@@Vivlur maybe you should pass this info along to your friends who are using sand.
It's mostly easier. 😊 With the right sand you'll be absolutely fine. In the widl they live mainly on sand/dirt with some rocks and branches. But most people aren't convident enough or just choose to keep it simple. It is simpler to clean like this.
Hi.
Why the lavender ? Are bearded dragons eating lavender ???
willy garling No! It’s a fake plant!
Oh. Ok thank you for your answer :)
Awww honey. Hope you feel better soon.Stay away from that food that is bad for you. Just my motherly instincts kicking in. You could be my daughter. ;) I'm almost 62 and i love reptiles. I don't have as many as you. Two leopard geckos one crested a corn snake and one house gecko that lives in that room because he got out of his enclosure and i can't catch him! By the way Dude is adorable. I had a beardie for five years but he got sick and passed (cancer). I love them but i just can't get another one. He was one of a kind. Oh i also have three birds three cats and one dog. Love that big enclosure. I just got a Zen 4x2x2. Again feel better soon.
Terri Paradise Thank you so much!! And you have such a lovely little reptilian family. I wish you all well 💕💕💕
Different color lights can actually hurt them please switch to normal lighting
The different color was just uvb. I changed that bulb out since then anyway
Hope dude doesn’t jump up in the light
Saverio Panaccione That would require some type of activity. Lmao he won’t be doing that 😂
Omg bearded dragons are such smelly lizards. More work than any of my other lizards! Actually sorry I got one. I have an emerald tree skink, 4 crested geckos, a uromastyx and a Russian tortoise but the beardie is by far the most time consuming as far as care. Not a beginner reptile like many suggest
Curt Harvilla They can be a lot of work. There are many lizards that are much easier. I’m sorry you aren’t enjoying yours 😭
Don’t get me wrong he’s beautiful! But lots of work

Hey Trisha are you on amino? I think you'd like it!
Holy Weak I’m not 😅
@@reptiliangarden Okay no worries, I've just heard that there's a big reptile community on there and wasn't sure if I should join yet :)
