Where are you from? In our place, it is illegal to own those insects.. haha
This video does not deserve so many dislikes, he did not kill the bearded dragon they passed away due to natural causes, this is educational and shows the decomposition. I find it interesting and so cool
Appreciate it 🤘💀🤘
Idk man its kinda messed up to just give your pet to a bunch of bugs after they die and just be ok with it. And make content out of it.
@@zevvxn Dude im not even being a prick im saying thats not right to do to your pet, whould you feed your dog to a bunch of bugs willingly. Stop being an asshole.
@@elalexesfresco4550 if that lizard died in the wild the same thing would've happened
@@Patrick-ni7bs Yes it would’ve but even still you don’t make content out of it.
I understand people may feel upset because it is a household pet, but this should not be given the hate it was given. It died of natural causes, and it provides natural nutrition for the beetles.
Appreciate it 👊👊💀
ms harlig and a sick display
JDinThehouse 1 then I guess real nature is not a sick display? These is honestly humane compared to the real world.
Its very sad to see this as a bearded dragon owner but so fascinating nature is nature nonetheless this is awesome
@@jdplaystuba this is nature almost at is fullest
My baby bearded dragon was right next to me when I clicked on this video. Thank god he was behind the phone. So he saw nothing.
LMFAOO u dragged it calm down 😭🤦🏽♂️
Hahaha
To late
Good
I hate UA-camr now that he killed a bearded dragon >:c
He'd have NIGHTMARES!
I can’t get mad at things like taxidermy. People grieve and remember their animals how they want to.
yeah, for me its like diss for my pet lol. I just think its weird how like taxidermy is they way they'll remember their pet, but you do you.
@@breadboy4758 I mean, I wouldn’t do taxidermy but can’t shit on people for it.
@@breadboy4758 It’s literally just their pelt on a stand that looks like the animal
My best friend was a beardie. Her name was Sara. She died 3 months ago because she was old and couldn’t push her eggs out so they rot inside her. We were too late to give her surgery. My vet said she would be fine. Seeing her die in my arms was the most devastating thing I’ve felt in my life. I cried the whole night with her in my arms. She was like my child. I have OCD so she helped me so much every time I would do rituals. When I buried her I wondered what would happen to her down there. Then I see this video and I’m like huh wow. But yeah anyways just felt like saying my story
I'm so sorry. I've had my best friends die in my arms as well. Such a tragic way to go, yet all too common.
Awwwwww,I feel so bad,I'm very sorry,,RIP Sara
We are euthanizing my beardie tomorrow, I hope I can hold him in my arms while they put him to sleep…
Same thing happened to my beardie Luna. Eggs got stuck it was terrible
But she laid 30 before the others got stuck. I ended up hatching her eggs 3 days after luna died her babies come into the world. Now I have 15 or so dragons as household pets and a few snakes. I love reptiles
Let’s get 100 likes for Sara
I’m truly glad he lived such a long and happy life, best of luck friend.
Things like this really don’t upset me too much. So long as it was happy and well cared for.
Died in a disgusting death while hes food is eating him lol
@@crusader4246 Is that supposed to bother me?
Idk
Yaaaaaa
While it’s always sad to see a pet that has passed, it’s good to know she lived a long happy life.
taxidermy is so fascinating, especially full body skeletons
thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it. I have several skeletons up for sale on my new website now.
Respect for the mind set. And for the sake of bugs. But taxidermy for the sake of us; looking at a corpse for morality. It’s just plain sickening and wrong
@@FlockensNekroparlor hi I discovered your channel it’s amazing I wish you have 40 million subscribers
@@dustink8522 thank you! Check out the newest video I just posted an hour ago. Be sure to share!
This is actually very cool I’d rather have a taxidermy skeleton rather than a stuffed animal of what was once my pet.
🤘🤘 appreciate it.
Yeah
...
Waht
Just going to say this, as a bearded dragon owner this is a bit sad but even I can accept that this is natural. It’s good for the beetles and for his job. And also gonna say this, no he didn’t kill it. It died of natural causes. And from looking from some of his replies it seems that it was dead before he even got it, as it was a gift ( correct me if I’m wrong). Thank you for coming to my red talk
As someone who is obsessed with bearded dragons, and owns 20, this is one of the best ways I could ever hope to preserve my pet 🖤
I absolutely adore this video, and love seeing nature at work. You do wonderful work and make wonderful, educational content and I'm glad that I could trust someone so professional with preserving my pets and can't wait to have them home ☺️
Appreciate the love 🤘💀🤘
20?! Woahhh
Bro I have one and I’m doing terrible taking care of it. What can I do considering the weather being terrible?
@@Omarie12345 what do you mean? Do you have it in an enclosure with an uvb light and heat lamp?
@@wormify4057 yea
I love how respectful he is to her remains. :) Yall, some people do this for artistic reasons, some people do this for spiritual reasons, ect. So yes. We would put our dog in there for the beetles to eat its flesh to get the bones and be able to keep their remains. This is not so different from cultures bringing out remains of their dead ancestors for celebratory reasons. Yes it seems wild and can be viewed as very grim and dark in nature. But only if you view death as grim and dark to begin with.
Also, Id love to get some of these beetles for my projects!
Appreciate the love 🤘💀🤘
Unfortunately my beetles suffered an infestation, and had to be exterminated. Video to come.
@@FlockensNekroparlor @Flocken's Nekroparlor Oh wow, hadnt noticed this is a year old! That is actually quite sad to hear! I hope you are able to continue again soon.
I started keeping mealworm beetles as food for my chameleons two years ago, and doing so has quickly made me curious about the dermestid for maceration rather than my current set up. Right now I am letting natural decay take its course as I live in the country, and dont have to worry about any smells. However, I've begun to grow curious about if the smaller beetles would be of help to take apart cranial plates and such. Have you experienced any of this?
@@yvriskvotch8430 mealworms chew bone and are not ideal for bone prep. Most species of the family Dermestidae are the way to go. If the skull falls apart with dermestids it's because the skull platelets were not fused. This happens in baby or fetal animals, and opossums.
@@FlockensNekroparlor Thanks for getting back to me! I use the mealworms as chameleon food and hadn't thought of them for bone prep, They are simply the only beetles I've had experience with. :) I was actually trying to get the plates all separate, To put in a flat shadow box, However, I've only managed to take apart a few pieces so far. I will see what I can do, But thanks for the info!
Bruh
Someone should inform the upset people that this is exactly what happens to us, and loved ones when we are buried
Why are people hating on this?. Its not like they killed the bearded dragon it’s died of natural causes.
It’s not like I hate the person who made this I just think it’s wrong just because something dies of natural causes doesn’t mean you should put it on UA-cam and asentually broadcast it to the world
That’s what I think is despicable it sucks that this dragon died and I’m sure the owner took very good care of it
@Niko Bellic • 15 years ago Yes and I'm saying I DONT hate the person who made this
@Niko Bellic • 15 years ago I’m sorry but that is Just a really poor excuse
@@theepicgamer9845 hes not recording it to talk about his dead bearded dragon hes doing it to show off the Beatles eating something with some meat on its bones
It’s amazing how the Dermestid Beetles neatly pick at the bones clean with little to no mess while the Flesh Fly larvae leave a messy froth as they feed.
🤢🤢
Lmao who would have thought.. the feeders have become the feeding
I well eat a dog
GUYS READ THE DESCRIPTION, HE DIDNT KILL IT. if you think he kill your the sick one
hey, nice video, the explanation of the process was neat. Im sure you dont but, dont let those... ignorant comments made you sad, please, you didnt do anything wrong, actually the opposite.
Im glad that you take his corpse and feed it to the beetles, as the ecosystem would do in the wild.
Hey I really appreciate that. Not too many people understand death, and get understandably upset.
Ok I don’t think the fact that he died is despicable i think that what happened to him is come on this is not a good thing to do after your dragon dies and I’m fine if you want to feed it to beetles to get it’s skeleton but please don’t do it on UA-cam for people to watch no hate though
My videos are also marked as 'not for children,' so maybe it's your responsibility to not watch videos that upset you. Do you see me going to your channel and telling you what to post or not?
@@theepicgamer9845 he has a point dipshit, if you don't want to see the video dont watch it
@@anon_y_mous6709 listen I don’t give a shit what’s it’s marked as it’s vile and anyone who enjoys this is just kinda wierd
I showed this to my bearded dragon and told her if she doesn’t eat her greens this is what will happen to her I’m evil
Lol u are rlly evil.
This is sad but it's the most natural thing I ever seen
Probably fed the entire colony, and their children after that. Thank you god for making such a great animal
Jeez I couldn’t bare it to see so many people openly being ignorant towards this video UA-cam really needs to crack on with the children roaming around this site and if you’re not a child…come on just read and get context before you comment.
Have you ever received education on decomposition in school? Do you know this happens to everything and everyone when they die unless they are preserved but worse,this is educational and if you don’t like the video why even click and bother to dislike it,you can see the thumbnail. You definitely deserve a subscribe bud this was very informative and a total contribution to natural history and education. 😃
Appreciate it 🤘💀🤘
Usually it’s the other way around
😂😂😂
Yeah unfortunately dermestid beetles do not make good feeders. The larva have urticating hairs and the adults are basically just a hard crunch carapace.
Well, let’s just say Mickey the Bearded Dragon was not happy with me watching this.
Hey, kids! The description sure is a wonderful read, I'd reccomend it especially before talking about the content! 10/10 I'd reccomend the description to anyone
This video has 0 dislikes
People must love this video
😂😂😂
I'll admit this was difficult to look at when it showed up as a recommended video *I have 4 bearded dragons* but it's a fascinating natural process, all part of nutrient recycling. I'm glad she lived a good long life!
Hey.. it might seem dark but it’s the circle of life.
Am I the only one who’d rather end up that way than be embalmed and sealed in a coffin?
Crazy the number of 12 year olds leaving stupid comments. I hope one day they learn more about our planet so they can understand videos like this better, and also be greatful we even have these little beetles!
Many are significantly younger than 12. There's an entire "UA-cam for kids," and my video is marked as "Not for kids," yet they come in droves and leave ignorant comments and bring down my like/dislike ratio. What can ya do 🤷♂️
If I marked this video as mature content and "No kids allowed," it woulf be demonetized and, well, it's one of my biggest payers so again 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
As a 12-year-old, I reluctantly agree.
If i could i wanna give 20k likes cause this vid dont deserve the hate
Spread the word Leonard
Decomposers: nature's dog under the dinner table who you give your veggies to
Lol
Flocken: *Showing timelapse of a already dead dragon*
Twitter users on youtube: I'm triggered
Beetles: Start eating too quickly
Flocken's Nekroparlor: "Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?"
👏👏👏
I am sorry for assuming I am just a big reptile lover or any animal lover so when I see something like this I just get mad and assume the worst I am sorry please don’t take any offense by what I had said before
Thought he was doing this for science
I find beetles freaky but the fact that they love boiled eggs is so adorable to me
Awesome did something similar with my isopods they stripped every piece of meat but dragged the bones to different places :|
Yes isopods are not ideal for bone preservation because they chew bone for calcium.
@@FlockensNekroparlor Yes indeed I was only feeding them not trying to acquire the skeleton
I really appreciate the commentary during this video. It's much more engaging than other time-lapses I've seen around. Thanks for sharing it!
Is that why this video has like 10x as many views as all my other ones? Or is it just because the species?
Flocken's Taxidermy both
@@FlockensNekroparlor it's a little of both. Lots of people are bearded dragon enthusiasts and so I'm sure that garnered a lot of clicks. But the reason you're getting so many likes is because of the commentary explaining the process of what's Happening. It adds an educational element to the video other than just watching the breakdown of the flesh by the Beatles. Good job.
Creepy but cool. (Don’t worry, I know of reptile owners who feed dead reptiles to their other reptiles just to recycle nutrients as would happen in the wild, so my assumption was that your pet died and you wanted to feed these beetles to use as feeder insects for other reptiles. It happens when you bury them in the backyard, but I’d personally be creeped out, lol.)
And so, we are all connected, in the great circle of life.

oh god shhshsn my beardie is sleeping on my chest rn why am i watching this
At least she was sleeping
As a beardie owner, I honestly don’t get the hate. It died of natural causes and this process is very similar to cremating a pet.
Not only that but it’s good for the beetles as well.
Ignore the hate man, this bearded dragon must have lived an nice long life seeing the size, this is nothing more then an educational video
Why are people hating on this so much? Did they not see and hear the word "Taxidermy" in the video's start? Do they not know that bodies are preserved in many different ways? Do they not realize how skeletal mounts are made? Do they not realize that it's someone's job to preserve the dead?
Heaven forbid, they realize what we do to dead human bodies. Videos like this shouldn't be shunned because people don't like dealing with death. It's fascinating and educational to learn what goes into the process. Our pets are going to die someday. At least with videos like these, you're learning what options you have when that day comes.
I have a hamster, a ball python, a blue tongue skink, and looking into getting a beardie. I think reptile skeletons look cool, especially snakes, and I for one think that I'll have my reptiles preserved as skeletal mounts after watching this video.
Thank you for the work that you do, good sir, keeping the memories of these animals alive after death. I know this beardie's owner loved this girl till the end and I know they appreciate what you've done to preserve their pet's memory.
Somebody gets it 🙌
Appreciate the support 👊👊💀
yeaaaah i think people arent educated to accept death. its just the continuation of life, that how i saw it
As a fellow reptile lover this was both fascinating and sad at the same time, but seriously some people need to understand that this is part of nature and if they can't except that they should at least keep their opinions to themselves
Hey Flocken, I'm sorry that you have to deal with idiots that clicked on a video and expected to see anything but the content previewed in the thumbnail. Just wanna let you know that you're work was educational and appreciated!
Appreciate the love. You're just the reason I made this 👊💀🤘
I own a lizard myself and had this recommended to me, at first I was a bit shocked because it was just there in my recommended but I had never seen a deceased beardie before
really interesting video though, I realized a bit after that things decompose and provide for the scavengers in life and how natural it is
thank you for the educational video, the dislikes shouldn't put you down (:
and thank you for treating this beardie with respect
Beetles: We are tired of being eaten by the lizards, time to get our revenge
beetle colony leader: brothers and sisters, many of our friends and family were devoured by this horrible beast but now that the monster is dead, we can now feast tonight
At least it had a happy life. Mother Nature is so interesting
I watched this with my bearded and she gave me the most death stare look
I’m so glad I didn’t jump to conclusions. I seen the thumbnail of video and almost threw my phone because of humanity despite not knowing. I’m hopeful that this dragon did die of natural causes and did not suffer. Glad they’re people that know about natural recycling
If you read the description you would know it died of natural causes.
It was sick and they put it down humanely
@@kimmel636 ur as smart as what ur profile name is. U sir/ma’m have very smooth brain
@@imnotagamer22what read the description bro
Lotta hate.. I have a bearded dragon, hes my pal, but this guy didn’t kill this one. He’s showing how to get a skeleton.. if its not your thing, dont watch.
damn beetles be enjoying that bearded-meat 🍖
Why so many Snowflakes? The bearded dragon naturally died, if your not mature enough to see this just gtfo it’s simple🤦🏽♂️
Hey bubba stfu and keep trying to defend the fact
Ur watching this weird shit school threat
People don’t have enough attention span to read a description now days and do what everyone else does , jump to conclusions and virtue signal.
I honestly find this practice really interesting and natural. Bodies decompose in the ground and theres nothing wrong with it. It's just the life cycle ❤
Glad the beardie lived a good life!! I was sad and scared at first, but I'm glad the body is being put to a good use
As one death-hobbiest to another, very cool! We intend to taxidermy our rabbit, cat, and beardie when they pass. We'll be keeping the skins and bones. Our babies won't be needing them, but we will certainly appreciate having lasting momentos. This video is actually why we subscribed to you. Wild animals are super neat too, but working with pets and creating fascinating content, both video and end product, provides something more.
Gotta ask people; what do you think happens to dead people in coffins? Decay is inevitable. Learning from it is essential.
I cant wait to see the finished product! Keep up the good work.
This is scary and educational at the same same time. I think people are upset because bearded dragons are kept as pets, and some people feel like they deserve a proper burial. Not being thrown into a container filled with beetles 😅 but it's still interesting. Just odd
I was watching this with my bearded dragon
He tried to eat his skeletal breathren
Feeding beetles to bearded dragons and now feeding bearded dragons to beetles... Irony!
"It's the cirrrrrcle of liiiiiiiife, and it moves us allllllll....."
I know you did the right thing but I'm sorry this video is just disturbing. This just makes me sad.
I understand. It's natural to feel sad about it, and I know my content is not for everyone.
Then don't watch it ?
The new comments are destroying my brain cells.
You and me both. But every one they leave is a penny in my pocket 🤷♂️
to those complaining, these beetles get nutrients of a naturally deceised pet leaving a carcass that is the goal of this exercise, the way I see it it is actually much more respectfull than the alternative, which is using acid to disolve the meat and connective tissue, which is what they do at universities or for museums and so on, the beetles got a nice meal out of it
as a beardie owner and amateur taxidermist this is both so sad and interesting at the same time
We all start somewhere! The first piece I ever did was my beloved ball python that died.
@@FlockensNekroparlor mine was a mouse! i don't think i could ever do my own pet tbh
*Takes note of this for the next time, a body needs to be disposed*
Oh wow!! It makes me sad cause I hate seeing dead things, especially reptiles, but I must say this is pretty cool! The way those beetles broke down the bearded dragon like it was nothing is really amazing. Cool to know what happens underground when you bury a pet.
I'm sorry for all the hate comments. I think people forget to read the description and if they don't want to see a dead animal they should not have clicked🤦♀️ besides, her soul is in heaven now, so it doesn't matter what happens to her body. Thanks for the cool video!!
People, can you please stop ranting about this video, the pet died of natural cause okay, the man who feeded it, nutured it, cared for it, would kill his own pet for no reason??
The guy just wanted to preserve his pet so it could be in his side after it's dead.
Don’t mind me just looking for the secret video
Omg I was NOT ready for what popped up
This disturbed me personally but, atleast you waited tilll the dragon passed on its own. Lol
First time watching a video from your channel, but the commentary is nice, I appreciate the added education rather than just watching the beetles
Welcome, and thank you.
I watched this while looking at my beardie eat mealworms...
I saw your username and profile picture while looking at my hand type this reply...
Mealworms aren’t good for beardies
Ok it’s fine just letting you know not trying to be rude if it works for your dragon it works for yours just making sure
Awesome! Ignore anyone who says you shouldn’t post stuff like this.
Ha, appreciate it 👊👊💀
I can smell this video
what a good channel! I'm loving the commentary
Man that was so sad and cool to watch, wana get my beardies preserved like this whenever they pass in the future

Good thing my beardie is asleep😂😂😂
This is exactly what would happen in the wild so I don't quite understand why so many disliked the video
Exactly and this one is not wasted at all. All meat goes to the worms and the bones becomes art.
Because they don’t read the description
Wow! Gentle, natural processes are incredible! And so fast. Thank you for sharing
Super awesome vid. Thanks for sharing
Everything has a use in nature - this is pretty cool. Thanks for the vid
That's a very efficient and natural way of doing it. Nature is so interesting. I love running into these educational channels. Good narration too.
The video shouldn’t be disliked. 1, the dragon died naturally and wasn’t killed for views. 2, the man is trying to preserve the animal to live on in memory. 3. This perfectly showcases the circle of life, the dragon lives by eating bugs like Beatles crickets and worms it’s whole life (but people don’t seem to care about that), now it’s the turn of the bugs to eat the dragon. Overall, very educational video
Really interesting! Thank you for your commentary!
Appreciate it! Subscribe for more 👊👊💀
As a beetle owner, this brought lots of joy to me. The bearded dragon lovers in these comments don't understand... Beetle lives matter!
Hope your beetles are beet to death, haha get it? Good.
@@RedPMD :(
@@RedPMD your joke was poorly executed and lacked taste
Neat. I love youtubes random recommendations.
The thing was almost skeletonised before the beetles found it.
This is really cool! I loved the commentary, it's fun to know how you do what you do and what sort of time and care goes into a project like this. Can't wait to see more!
Fly high 🕊
I am grosses out, terrified, horrified, yet… interested… Nature is interesting
Nature is indeed wacky
I understand where the dislikes are coming from but taxidermy is understandable, people grieve in different ways
I've buried my bearded dragon and hope to take out her skeleton in a few years time and make something cool out of it :) This was VERY hard to watch, but thank you.
Depending on the climate of where you live, and how you buried her (in a shoebox, wrapped in a blanket or a plastic bag), I probably wouldn't wait more than one year.
@@FlockensNekroparlor She's in a Medium planter pot, directly in the soil (I didn't really plan ahead, I was just dealing with it at the time) There are some plants and a wild mulberry sapling just started growing in there! If the mulberry takes root in the soil, I might not disturb it at all and just have a small mulberry tree in her memory!
I'm near Durban in South Africa, so humid, wet, and warm for the next 4 months or so.
@@cyberiac.a1t again, depending on your climate and soil conditions, I would shoot for 6-12 months to check on it.
Hey man what's do you know if it was a female or a male
It was definitely a female. When I make my updated video I will include more of the dissection process.
oh ok
@L L ok
@L L also I think males bearded dragons have bigger heads then females
For someone who don't understand the point of this video...
The bearded dragons body will just decay if he burry it, and he give that flesh for the beetles to eat
And the bearded dragons skeleton will still remain
And he can burry it, he give a food for the beetles
Good video, I can tell you put a lot of care into your work. Sorry for the hate comments you get, a lot of people seem uniformed. Keep up the good work though dude, you’ve earned a sub
Appreciate it 🤘💀🤘
Can you make a video on how to set up a beetle feeding enclosure? I don’t know where to start
I will one day. Until then, here's my setup-
imgur.com/gallery/CavW3z0
Wow, that's really interesting - don't understand why so many dislikes!! Their skeleton is so cool and fragile looking!!
Appreciate it brother 👊👊☠
i think the dislikes are from people that dont know how life really works.
or maybe to sensitive people, i dunno exactly.
for me is a way to respect the animal, his death body is now returning to nature, the cycle continues... in a way... no life being dies
im staring at my leopard gecko rn
