    My beardie first head bobbed at me when he was 3 months old...from that moment on I knew he'd be a little tyrant :P

      My female dragon is bobb her head when she is angry or when she is... Bored? (Idk-)
      So...
      Maybe she is a feminist or she is transgender 😂
      Btw, my bearded dragon is obviously female because vet was checking her

      Mine didn’t Bob until he was 2. One time I managed to catch him in his rem cycle and he was bobbing in his sleep. Ever since when he basks outside he does a little bob when he walks around

    When my beardie is outside he is very aware of birds. The second he hears one his head goes sideways looking for it. It's an instinct they kept even though they are no longer in Australia.

    • @TheDethsight
      @TheDethsight 2 місяці тому

      it's amazing how much of their outback instincts are still intact. they have a "third eye", as well, to help them see shadows that go overhead. i would bet that that is on it's way out, at least in captive beardies. so, we may have a different species! in thousands of years lol.

    Thank you very helpful. I just started having Bearded Dragons a 9 month old an a 4 month old. Yesterday was the first time they've been outside the older one was puffing the beard an other things now I know why. We live in Rhode Island so not many months they can go out 🤗

    You guys have the BEST Beardie videos!! I saw 1 in the pet shop today and she had her mouth open. I was talking to her about it and an employee walked past me and said " Lorettas " happy. I was hoping that was true, but honestly, I thought she was more likely trying to express some heat from her body--- 😂 you confirmed that! Thank you 👍

    My beardie, lovely gal named Mirabar, just loves waving and pawing at her reflections. She's done a little headbobbing with me, and I've seen her gaping plenty of times. Figured she was breathing in the mist I just sprayed into the tank. She used to burrow under her rocks/food dish when she was smaller, but now lazes in her hammock most of the day.

  • @TheDethsight
    @TheDethsight 2 місяці тому

    there is another "theory" i've heard about why some beardies get so defensive when they first go outside. it's that they have never really seen their keeper in UV light. at least not in actual full UV. yea, we provide them with UV(B) in their enclosures, but we can never match the sun. and that may scare them enough to get defensive. I have taken all 4 of mine outside before (2 younger ones under a year old and 2 older ones(3 and 4 years old)) and the older girls i have are much more defensive/mad at first. they do calm down after a few minutes when i hold them on the short walk we go on.

  • @tracylynn1461
    @tracylynn1461 2 роки тому +1

    Pretty sure our bearded just threw a mad fit.. my hubby who usually has treat in hand when he approaches the lizard came empty handed.. told him I dont have a treat.. he puffed his beard bigger than I have seen him ever do.. gaped his mouth wide open and stomped his front legs several times and turned his back to him... Can I consider that a temper tantrum? He is normally very chill and only puffs when I puff my checks at him.. and certainly has never gaped to the point of wide open and has never foot stomped! I'm pretty sure he was mad about the man not bringing him one of his fav bugs as a snack but spoke to him anyways??? I never knew a lizard could have so much personality and hope that's all it was.. Hes been such a joy the past 6 months we've had him...

    I have two beardies. My one year old male is very laid back and totally chill. My three month old female is the exact opposite. I need help! She is extremely timid, skiddish and aggressive. She will back herself into the corner, hiss and even bite if I attempt to pick her up or pet her. My heart is just breaking. Getting the male, a little over a year ago, was our first experience with a bearded dragon and he was just so easy. Was he just a rarity? Someone please tell me something!

    I just got my beardie two weeks ago and they wave at me constantly and is still like a baby. I was severely hoping it was a male since females are a bit more complicated it seems? Is the waving all the time meaning it’s a girl? Or is it just being submissive?

      Young bearded dragons can eat super worms, as long as the worms are size-appropriate! A good rule of thumb is to never feed a dragon insects that are larger than the space between the dragon's eyes. This is to be sure the insect can be easily swallowed. Hope this helps!
