I’ve watched what feels like hundreds of videos on bearded dragons in order to learn all I can, this one video has answered all of my questions. Thank you for such an informative video.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverseo you think it is completely necessary to have that solar meter because I don’t know if I can get it, only because it would lower my dads thoughts on getting a beardie even more….
I’m a first time beardie owner and was heavily misinformed before getting him. I was told he’d be inexpensive, low-maintenance, and easy for a college student. The rescue made their starting kit out to be much better than what it actually was. I’ve only had him for a week and I’m working my butt off to correct all the mistakes I made in the beginning and give him a happy life. I really appreciate this video!
Yes it can be expensive at first but once you get everything it’s really just buying their food and isn’t as expensive as when you first get them. I’m happy I was of some help. 😊
i live in the australian outback and what i found best for my bearded dragon was literally just going outside with a shovel and gathering fresh dirt from the wild and my bearded dragon loves it

I'm adopting my first bearded dragon baby from a breeder! I couldn't be happier with this! He knows I go through stress in my life and fighting for my freedom and everything! And I know it's a chance I'm unable to pay for the dragon! So he offered to ship him to me for free if I do not win my freedom! I could not be happier with him! I'm getting a little boy from him! And I can't wait to see him in person!
NOTES FOR ME AND ANYONE ELSE: .120 gallon tank .Heat lamp, LED lamp, UVb lamp .UVb lamp important .40 gallon need 12 percent UVB or ZOOMED 10.0 UVB .UVB helps manufacture vitamin D plus calcium . Beared drgaon needs a 5 UVB .DO NOT USE COIL BULBE use tube style .100 Watt
This looks foreign to me. I have a lot of work to do in order to learn this stuff! I SS for future reference when I can understand all of this, better! Lol!
We are getting a bearded dragon here soon for my daughter (but I’m secretly over the moon excited lol) and this video has helped a lot. I’ve been going back and forth between enclosure sizes. I met someone who is selling a young adult and his enclosure for 280… my husband is a little apprehensive because of the price but he just told me that that enclosure is 4ft x 2.5ft x 2ft. It was a jewelry display case turned into a reptile enclosure. He looks so happy in it and it looks so roomy. I’ve been looking at 50 gallon tanks… again just trying to figure out sizing and all that jazz. This video really helped me appreciate the different sizes and look at it from a different perspective. 280 for the entire setup and the dragon seems very affordable
This is seriously great info. I just lost my 10 year old dragon 3 nights ago 😭(actually,I bought him for my son) I really don’t know what happened to him but I wish I had done more homework a lot sooner, there was so much we were doing wrong and I didn’t know it. Absolutely heart breaking to find out we weren’t really giving him everything he needed. He was fine and seemingly healthy a few days prior and then he found him upside down in his tank and very weak. I thought he may have been dehydrated so I went and got some pedialite and syringe fed it to him 1-1 with water. He hung in there for a day more but that was it. I wish I would have known what to do to try and save him because it’s eating me. I’m thinking he may have had a respiratory disease because the last half hour or so of his life he was seemingly gasping every 30 seconds or so in between breathing shallow. It kills me to think he suffered, I really hope not💔 Your content is priceless and I hope anyone with a bearded dragon takes the time to do proper research on caring for them and finds your channel
I just rescued a bearded dragon. My girlfriend already has one so has helped me start in caring. But after this video I'm ready to go all in and make this a hobby and passion.. You covered so many important questions i had thank you. Definitely subscribing for more
A friend of mine recently bred her bearded and wants to give me one hence why im here. I am excited but looks like ill have to save up for all the needs first!
Wow, really clear straightforward information on the lighting. Thanks man. Usually you have to look in multiple places to get all the answers you provided here.
Definitely some food for thought. I’ve been considering bringing a Beardie home for a while. This was a helpful video to get me started. The hardest part is over, though. I got my wife’s blessing!
I don't know how many videos I've watched about BD care, and I can tell you, none of them hold a candle to your explanation. Keep at it, the quality of the information you're sharing and the delivery is fantastic. And I say this when I have no intention of owning a BD =P.
Extremely informative video man! I'm about to get a dragon and all of the articles I was reading online were very vague. Your video cleared up all my questions and I look forward to getting my dragon!
Adopting a new bearded dragon from a co worker that can’t bring him with with the move of a new apartment had them before but love watching these kinda of videos!
Know what you mean I watch care guides of animals all the time even though I know. People keep ‘em different and you can always find great info you never knew
This is such a great plethera of information. Thank you so much! I got my first beardie last week and have had reptiles throughout my life. This was the best video I've found. So helpful to save money and take good care of my little buddy! I appreciate you. I'll be subscribing.
A friend of mine recently adopted a small dragon who was severely underweight, and also very impacted due to living in and eating sand, that took about 2 weeks to clear using 4 hot baths per day and some mineral oil. Her dragon is finally eating healthy again and gaining a lot more weight, but due to the severe malnutrition the beardie will sadly never reach her full adult size.
Thanks for all this jam packed info. Just got a second beardie. My first one this young though (7 months) UA-cam wasn't that big when I got my first one so this helped alot. Just subbed 🤙🏼
I am definitely subscribing to this channel! I am getting my first bearded dragon very soon (July 11th) and I’m glad to know all of these things about bearded dragons. I have never had a bearded dragon and I don’t know anything about them. I have been researching about them and I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel.
A 120 gallon tank sounds insane I've seen perfectly happy beardies with 40-50 gallon tanks, and plan to take mine out frequently, for handling and play
It’s because they get up to 2 feet long and having an enclosure that’s minimum 2 times the length of the animals is good for them having to walk around. You can take them out but remember lots of people live in climates where they can’t take there dragons outside because it’s too cold year round. Also they need uvb and heat most room temp houses are 20 degrees colder than what they prefer so they will just sleep cause they are cold. So you can’t keep them out all day that’s why the bigger enclosure is necessary.
Very good video. Just got a fully grown bearded dragon. No idea how old it is. Was left in an apartment that the tenets were evicted from. So now I am trying to learn as much as I can about it. Thanks so much
I just found you and I would like to thank you for explaining things SO AMAZING WELL!! AAAAND you don't make me feel stupid or guilty if I'm doing something wrong! I have subscribed and will be watching more! Thank you so much!
I'm so new to this BD Thing BUT OH HOW I LOVE HER & WE DEF... HAVE A CONNECTION.. But this is all truly appreciated AS I NEED TO LEARN Her As Much As Possible To Make Sure She Lives Her Best Life CUZ I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER
I have to tell you how much I love you right now & how much I appreciate your links directly to what to buy and whats best for them ! YOUR AWESOME!!!! Im getting one for my kid for xmas but we all know ill be taking care of it lol and being somebody who knows nothing this was an amazing informative video to come across! Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you!!!! Subscribed deff!!!! 😂
well i'm just about to get a 1 month old bearded dragon in a few days and I was taking some extra notes and this video was so informative and I got so much more notes haha, definitely gonna sub
Thank youuuu. Your videos are helping me learn what I can do when I buy one. I made a deal that I would learn alot in order to have a baby bearded dragon. So thank you!!!!
planning on getting one soon, these vids have inspired me to wait til after winter so i have plenty of time to set up a dope ass enclosure for it to keep my beardie as happy as possible :D
Hi! i’m thinking of adopting a female dragon, i just got some pictures of her and i was wondering if you could help me look at her health?🙈 I’m worried about a blackspot and an angle on her tail
I haven’t got through the hole video yet but am I able to just catch some wild bugs and feed it. Like crickets worms grasshoppers and others thanks for the video🎉
Hey the substrate you make is exactly the same substrate I make for my tarantulas, good to know I don't need to do anything different there. Also awesome very informative video.
Hey, I’ve actually been planning on getting a bearded dragon for the future and I wanna know if keeping a fan on 24/7 in my room would help or disrupt anything that would make the little dragon in their tank more or less comfortable.
Ty this helped a lot! :) I was super nervous (and still kinda am lol), but this helped a lot and for sure gave me confidence to raise my first bearded dragon! :)))
I’m just a little confused about what you do for heat at night? I’m assuming you dim your lights? This is a fantastic video tho! My family got a 5-6 month old a few days ago and already made mistakes. Glad we’re correcting them so soon. Hoping to keep him happy and healthy.
As long as your house isn't super cold, you should need any lights at night. They need darkness like us to sleep. But if you need additional hest, you can use a ceramic heat emitter or other bulb that emitts no light.
2:56 I saw this at petsmart a few months ago. Two lil bearded dragons on one jail cell, one ran up to the glass and stood aggressively, the other one in the back looked sick and skinny, with little to no coloring
I'm so glad I watched this video. The pet store told me everything I needed to hurt our bearded dragons. They said 2 dragons would be perfect in our 10 gallon tank. While we are now going to buy 2 larger tanks now I do have 1 question. Since they are too small to find out if they are male or female yet, if one day we wanted to mate them, what are the do's and don't since they should not be in the same tank?
Oh yeah that’s way too small for 1 dragon let alone 2! Happy to help you on the right track. So if you wanted to mate them later they do have to be around 2 years old cause that’s when they are sexually mature and are old enough to mate. Then when you want to mate them you can introduce them to each other. Have to watch carefully and they will mate in less than five minutes. After that 1 month she should dig for eggs lay them. Get those eggs put them in the incubator and then after two months they will hatch. That’s when you need at least 5 big enclosures I use sterlite tubs the 40 gallon ones. Have to have heat lamps and uvb bulbs for all babies. Then you raise the babies up 😁
I watched this already knowing what I needed to do, but looking for more info (which I didn't really find tbh, I'm actually proud of my knowledge) but all this 10000%!!! Some of it actually made me sad, far as the space they need, not keeping them together (lest the smaller dies), and more. Learned these the hard way, and anyways this is a great video for information! I'm so happy for this video, thank you for this simple easy to understand video!
My only thing is my dragon didn't have as many lights as mentioned here. My guy lived over 10 years, and he was a special, inbred fella, had an overbite and a strong hand as I like to call it. He didn't have much movement in his back legs and required a lot of attention, much more than a regular beardie ime. I've also experienced and had beardies who grew tumors, and we had em removed, just dealt with a lot. Would be interested to chat and shoot ideas and experiences around to make my next dragon live their best life! :)
Oml I’m getting one for my birthday Saturday and I’m really exited wanna take care to it and cherish it🤣 my dream pets are reptiles of any sort mainly bearded dragons and snakes Thankkk uu fir this videoo
Have a question. In the area we live pine and ever greens are everywhere. We want to find sticks from outside. We do have other trees like locust, beech nut, birch trees, maple weeping willows. My question is are any of these safe options for our Beardies? I want to be able to provide them with more activities. And if so what do we need to do to sanitize them and ensure they are the safest possible options. Thanks in advance.
I was told a 40gal for a baby bearded was too big. That if i did get one i would need to divide the space. Is this true? I’m starting to feel overwhelmed with getting on for my son. But i will be watching more of your videos!
Thank you so much for this video. It has really helped ease my mind. I have a 40 gallon premium kit currently. I've have a 120 gallon on the way. I've had my dragon for 3 weeks so far. Do you think my beardie is ok? The new enclosure should be here within a week.
@ChiefsUniverse thank you so much for the info. So I'll be needing to get the correct uvb bulb and wattage etc. I'm just currently using the stuff that came with the tank smh
@@hillcityninja3155 it’s ok many have been in your shoes and it will make due for now. Excited you are getting the right stuff though you don’t have to worry now 😁
Great informative video, my man! You explain everything very well, so that it is easily understandable, and you could use this video as a textbook on bearded dragon-care :D And of course, it never hurts to have a lot of footage of Bubba - he is a show-stealer :D
Depends on the brand of enclosure. The dubia roaches one I would mount on the inside. Make sure nothing is closer than 9 inches to the bulb on the inside and you will be good to go
came in the house this morning to my father thinking that the bearded dragon is dead from what I've read online and from your video I'm assuming he's Brumating but he has a appointment for Monday so we shall see
I’ve learned so much from your videos! Thank you!!! I’m subscribed I have a question though I ordered the Arcadia pro but it’s 14% is that too much for my bearded dragon?
Thank you for being willing to learn the newer information on these animals. So many keepers, breeders and even vets can not accept most of the new info since its contrary to what they've been doin for 30 years. I would guess you follow the information given by Dr Jonathan Howard.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Thank you again for that. I actually came here to combat misinformation but your channel with the videos I've watched I've found none. Misinformation killed my 1st beardie Shenron and as much as people don't want to hear it I try to guide them in the right direction. Keep up the great work!
Hiii I just got one yesterday and I got a 50 gallon and I leave enough food for her to have 9-1 until I get from work and then the heat lamp off at night
Good temps at night is anything above 60f during winter it can go as low as 55f. My schedule for summer is 12 hours a day lights on winter I drop to 8hours of lights on
My daughter's family has a 2-3 year old female, I pretty much take personal care of her. I recently started taking her for walks twice a day by carrying her, she turns beautiful orange, i would like to do do more for her, what are your thoughts on a harness for walking, and how do I get one?
Hey man I love your videos, really really good information. Me and my roommate finally decide to get a dragon. We got a starter kit in a few essentials but we just want to make sure we're doing it right. Little anxious about the temperature being just right and him getting the right amount of UVB. If I send you a picture of what we got going on could you give me some tips on how to take care of the little guy 🦎💚
I want one so bad. But I would have to have you to build his habitat with all everything he needs😂😂because I'm not creative enough 😂but I love these lil dudes ♥️
Oh and another question, my bearded dragon is about 5 years old, so hes pretty big. He has a log in his cage that he sits on for basking, but does he need something to climb on? Is he too large to climb?
Are you able to keep the cats out of the room your dragon is in? That would be ideal, since the cats may stress the dragon out, and could potentially break the lid of the enclosure.
Subbed. Thanks for all your uploads. I haven’t looked yet but have you made a video about where to buy a bearded dragon? I know most people say from breeders and not pet stores but crazy question what about from online breeders?
I am considering getting a bearded dragon but I’m afraid I won’t be caring for it correctly and I’m worried I won’t be able to cover all the expenses plus the thing I need just for myself so I may not be able to get one 😢
On the hot side part of the video I had a typo. The Celsius for hot side should be 26C - 32C. Not 90C 😅
Do you leave the lights on during the Bearded Dragons brumation?
I live in malaysia and the weather always hot at 32°C do i need to buy heater?
Can I buy one or your 120 gallon tanks ready
One of the main reasons they need to be in a 120g it literally causes their brain to shrink. It causes depression and compromises their immune system.
@@thebutcher7152 yes 👍

Haha now you are lucky!
I just was gifted my baby yesterday. I’ve wanted one for YEARS!!!! I’m so happy and ready to learn all I can

Ty this helped a lot! :) I was super nervous (and still kinda am lol), but this helped a lot and for sure gave me confidence to raise my first bearded dragon! :)))
You got it! It’s not as hard as everyone makes it seems. Just a lot of info to take in soon you’ll be helping people who are getting into the hobby!
Thank you , this is useful information . I'm alway6s learning something new when it comes to these interesting reptiles.
No problem! Glad to help
I’m just a little confused about what you do for heat at night? I’m assuming you dim your lights? This is a fantastic video tho! My family got a 5-6 month old a few days ago and already made mistakes. Glad we’re correcting them so soon. Hoping to keep him happy and healthy.
As long as your house isn't super cold, you should need any lights at night. They need darkness like us to sleep. But if you need additional hest, you can use a ceramic heat emitter or other bulb that emitts no light.
2:56 I saw this at petsmart a few months ago. Two lil bearded dragons on one jail cell, one ran up to the glass and stood aggressively, the other one in the back looked sick and skinny, with little to no coloring
Thanks bro, this really helped!
Happy to help!
This has got to be the most expensive animal 😂😂 but thanks so much this has been the most productive 18 minute long video
what an amazing video! so informative! thank you for putting in the time and sharing. gonna use your affiliate links now!
Appreciate that a lot! Thank you 😊
I'm so glad I watched this video. The pet store told me everything I needed to hurt our bearded dragons. They said 2 dragons would be perfect in our 10 gallon tank. While we are now going to buy 2 larger tanks now I do have 1 question. Since they are too small to find out if they are male or female yet, if one day we wanted to mate them, what are the do's and don't since they should not be in the same tank?
Oh yeah that’s way too small for 1 dragon let alone 2! Happy to help you on the right track. So if you wanted to mate them later they do have to be around 2 years old cause that’s when they are sexually mature and are old enough to mate. Then when you want to mate them you can introduce them to each other. Have to watch carefully and they will mate in less than five minutes. After that 1 month she should dig for eggs lay them. Get those eggs put them in the incubator and then after two months they will hatch. That’s when you need at least 5 big enclosures I use sterlite tubs the 40 gallon ones. Have to have heat lamps and uvb bulbs for all babies. Then you raise the babies up 😁
Hi. Ok got it with the lights. But how much is your electricity bill pe month? And how long do you keep the lights on for?
Love your video! It’s be awhile for me since I have kept bearded dragons looking to getting back in! Your video makes this so much easier lol.
Glad to help
I watched this already knowing what I needed to do, but looking for more info (which I didn't really find tbh, I'm actually proud of my knowledge) but all this 10000%!!! Some of it actually made me sad, far as the space they need, not keeping them together (lest the smaller dies), and more. Learned these the hard way, and anyways this is a great video for information! I'm so happy for this video, thank you for this simple easy to understand video!
My only thing is my dragon didn't have as many lights as mentioned here. My guy lived over 10 years, and he was a special, inbred fella, had an overbite and a strong hand as I like to call it. He didn't have much movement in his back legs and required a lot of attention, much more than a regular beardie ime. I've also experienced and had beardies who grew tumors, and we had em removed, just dealt with a lot. Would be interested to chat and shoot ideas and experiences around to make my next dragon live their best life! :)
@@mustafaftw thank you very much you can contact me through Instagram or Twitter the links to those are in the description
Oml I’m getting one for my birthday Saturday and I’m really exited wanna take care to it and cherish it🤣 my dream pets are reptiles of any sort mainly bearded dragons and snakes
Thankkk uu fir this videoo
Happy to help! It’s gonna be awesome when you get one! The greatest feeling
Have a question. In the area we live pine and ever greens are everywhere. We want to find sticks from outside. We do have other trees like locust, beech nut, birch trees, maple weeping willows. My question is are any of these safe options for our Beardies? I want to be able to provide them with more activities. And if so what do we need to do to sanitize them and ensure they are the safest possible options. Thanks in advance.
Nicely presented, sir! Thank you!
Happy to help
I was told a 40gal for a baby bearded was too big. That if i did get one i would need to divide the space. Is this true? I’m starting to feel overwhelmed with getting on for my son. But i will be watching more of your videos!
No not at all. That’s a perfect size for a baby.
Thank you so much for this video. It has really helped ease my mind. I have a 40 gallon premium kit currently. I've have a 120 gallon on the way. I've had my dragon for 3 weeks so far. Do you think my beardie is ok? The new enclosure should be here within a week.
Yeah your beardie is fine. No worries.
@ChiefsUniverse thank you so much for the info. So I'll be needing to get the correct uvb bulb and wattage etc. I'm just currently using the stuff that came with the tank smh
@@hillcityninja3155 it’s ok many have been in your shoes and it will make due for now. Excited you are getting the right stuff though you don’t have to worry now 😁
Question: can kids 10-12 years old have a bearded dragon
Thank u so much! I have always wanted a bearded dragon, so i love this vid thanks a lot!!❤
Happy to help!
Great informative video, my man! You explain everything very well, so that it is easily understandable, and you could use this video as a textbook on bearded dragon-care :D
And of course, it never hurts to have a lot of footage of Bubba - he is a show-stealer :D
Thank you so much Jen! I know bubba is a model at this point
I got the Arcadia 12% for my 120 gallon. I know you mentioned to get the 14% do you think that will be ok 😅
Depends on the brand of enclosure. The dubia roaches one I would mount on the inside. Make sure nothing is closer than 9 inches to the bulb on the inside and you will be good to go
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse i have the eco flex 120 gal. Would I be ok to just place it ontop and not inside?
Thank you your video helped a lot I’m thinking about getting a bearded dragon also u know how long fancy bearded dragons live for?
Nice video! Can i use big bark shavings for my beardie enclosure as a substrate?
I answered but you could I personally recommend soil sandy ones myself
bro ima die till i make that kind of money 💀
came in the house this morning to my father thinking that the bearded dragon is dead from what I've read online and from your video I'm assuming he's Brumating
but he has a appointment for Monday so we shall see
Good you booked an appointment. He may be estivating as well. Which is where it’s too hot so they go chill down as well
I’ve learned so much from your videos! Thank you!!! I’m subscribed I have a question though I ordered the Arcadia pro but it’s 14% is that too much for my bearded dragon?
Depends what enclosure you have I’ll make a video soon about lights to update everything
@ I only have a 50 gallon enclosure right now I can’t afford to build the 120 gallon one quite yet
@ also I have the ReptiKing T5 10 UVB from Amazon at the moment but I bought the Arcadia because every video says that’s the best
Hey CSU,can a juvenile bearded dragon skip a day without eating?
And how many crickets do you feed a bearded dragon?
Because i just got one yesterday
Awesome video man thank you!!!
Happy to help
I don’t agree with a few things that were said ,being an owner of two beardies myself . But everyone has their own sources and opinions on care.
What did you not agree with?
Thank you for being willing to learn the newer information on these animals. So many keepers, breeders and even vets can not accept most of the new info since its contrary to what they've been doin for 30 years. I would guess you follow the information given by Dr Jonathan Howard.
I do indeed I actually have updated guide as well with more up to date info as well. Always updating and always trying to improve
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Thank you again for that. I actually came here to combat misinformation but your channel with the videos I've watched I've found none. Misinformation killed my 1st beardie Shenron and as much as people don't want to hear it I try to guide them in the right direction. Keep up the great work!
Hiii I just got one yesterday and I got a 50 gallon and I leave enough food for her to have 9-1 until I get from work and then the heat lamp off at night
Am I doing this right
Hey bro what’s a good temp for them at night time !? And what light schedule do you have yours on
Good temps at night is anything above 60f during winter it can go as low as 55f. My schedule for summer is 12 hours a day lights on winter I drop to 8hours of lights on
My daughter's family has a 2-3 year old female, I pretty much take personal care of her. I recently started taking her for walks twice a day by carrying her, she turns beautiful orange, i would like to do do more for her, what are your thoughts on a harness for walking, and how do I get one?
Hey! Could you reintegrate the vitamins again for an adult bearded dragon with correct lighting ??
AMAZING video!!! You explain everything so well and are so thorough! ❤ Newbie here. ✋
Thank you! Happy to help!
Try spraying down your greens with a spray bottle to get more hydration!
Oh great tip! Love it!
Thanks this is helping me convince my parents to get me a beardie
Glad to help
Hey man I love your videos, really really good information. Me and my roommate finally decide to get a dragon. We got a starter kit in a few essentials but we just want to make sure we're doing it right. Little anxious about the temperature being just right and him getting the right amount of UVB. If I send you a picture of what we got going on could you give me some tips on how to take care of the little guy 🦎💚
Yes I have a discord linked in description
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse awesome thanks man!!
My parents are making me research bearded dragons rn so I know that I’m up to take care of him
Waffle will be mine
Very nice hope I helped
@@ChiefSweetsUniversethx you helped a lot
Also I got waffle 4 months ago and he is a cute lil guy
I want one so bad. But I would have to have you to build his habitat with all everything he needs😂😂because I'm not creative enough 😂but I love these lil dudes ♥️
Haha no you can definitely do it! They do have backgrounds and stuff you can buy. Dubia roaches is the best budget enclosure
Love this!! What about shedding and bathing please?
Will make a video about that ASAP!
Thanks for the video, like all the info you give, jus got my 1st beardie.
Congratulations 🎊
Keep in mind, bulbs lifespan depends on the household. My cats love breaking my beardies lights and i often have to replace bulbs every few months.
Oh and another question, my bearded dragon is about 5 years old, so hes pretty big. He has a log in his cage that he sits on for basking, but does he need something to climb on? Is he too large to climb?
Never too large to climb. Mine is 22 inches long and climbs all over the place. Also cats are always getting into trouble huh 😂
Are you able to keep the cats out of the room your dragon is in? That would be ideal, since the cats may stress the dragon out, and could potentially break the lid of the enclosure.
I have a question
I have LED lights in my room, so will that be okay for the bearded dragon or does it need its own LED light(s)?
Subbed. Thanks for all your uploads. I haven’t looked yet but have you made a video about where to buy a bearded dragon? I know most people say from breeders and not pet stores but crazy question what about from online breeders?
Thank you! I have not but I’ll get right on that!
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you!!
I am considering getting a bearded dragon but I’m afraid I won’t be caring for it correctly and I’m worried I won’t be able to cover all the expenses plus the thing I need just for myself so I may not be able to get one 😢
No worries dragons will always be there. When you are ready and have the money you can get one.
Would love to have a bearded dragon someday this video was very helpful!
