New Bearded Dragon Shopping List
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Good Morning, Reptilians! This week, we're talking about the things you need to buy in order to prepare for a new bearded dragon.
Did I forgot to add food to the list? Yes. Yes I did. Your bearded dragon will need bugs (ex. dubia roaches, crickets, BSFL, waxworms, hornworms, silkworms, etc.) and veggies (ex. collard green, mustard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, squash, bell peppers, etc.) every day, and multiple times a day for babies. So make sure you're stocked up on food. You'll also need a container for the feeder bugs. I like to use sterilite bins for this.

I just realized that I forgot to include food. You'll definitely need to feed your bearded dragon as well. 😅
Example Bugs: dubia roaches, crickets, BSFL, waxworms, hornworms, silkworms
Example Veggies: collard green, mustard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, squash, bell peppers
You also need a place to put the bugs - I like to use sterlite bins. 😊
I thought a UVA light was required. Is that true ??
Hey!!! After years of wanting a breaded dragon I am finally ready....enough!!!😁
I do have other reptiles but breaded's have always been my favorite!
But I have a question and I am hoping you can clarify it for me!!
So, the basking spot: does this need to be a rock, wood, slate, could I make my own out of insulation, or a store bought platform?
I have been watching like almost every video you have done about breaded dragons, then the other day I watched one you done about not letting you be the only place I get my info from and I was so glad that I heard that because I been watching all kinds and finally found the enclosure the other day I wanted!! Thank you so much for all the info and I love you reptile room!!☺
@@ordoabchao1308 anything works!! just make sure to get a tempeture gun. (not petco therm) it just depends on how much watts you want! 150-200 watts is good for 4x2x2 becuase its high, and probably 100 is good for 40 gal! slate works best for heat
I’ve been researching day and night so I’m ready for my beardie ❤️
I got a bearded dragon last April, but he passed away shortly due to coccidia. I've been starting to think preparing to get another bearded dragon so this video is right on time!
I'm so sorry about your beardie 💔
That is a great looking bearded dragon. Great informational video!
Thank you so much! Now I just need to get my production quality on your level. Love your videos. 😊
When I first adopted my bearded dragon back in August I discovered your channel and you have helped so much!
That's so awesome. It always makes me happy hearing that the videos are helpful 🥰
@@ellesreptiles yes you have helped me alot with my beardie as well between tank sizes and lighting to feeding them my beardie is happy thankyou so much
my beardy Mushu seems to love her hammock more than anything else I've got her. Highly recommend getting one 😀
Yes! Great suggestion 😊
Yes, my Vážka absolutely adores her hammock. It even helps her poop from the texture of it. Makes me have to clean it a lot. But that's ok.
Good morning Elle, have an amazing Sunday!! Be careful today with all the nasty weather happening!!
I hope you have an amazing Sunday as well! And yea thanks! I didn't even know we were supposed to have bad weather until a little bit ago 😅
@@ellesreptiles snuck right up on you huh lol? We're suppose to get 12 to 15 inches of snow in the Boardman, Ohio area tonight lol.
Another great, informative video. When we first got our boy, Butters, the amount of wrong info we got was disappointing. I came across your channel and corrected the things that were wrong. We want our boy to be happy, healthy and long lived.
Awww I'm so happy that I was able to help you out! I also got a disappointing amount of incorrect information when I got Zsasz, so I'm happy I was able to help someone else out. ♥️
You are my go to for info!!! We are getting all our stuff ready and hopefully adopting a beardie in the next month or two!
👍
Mine a top open leafy
sees me coming n comes to my hand
This video is so helpful! I am getting a bearded dragon this Saturday and taking notes on videos like this are so helpful, much appreciated for how well made, and useful this was. Thanks a lot for the info!!
Thank you, I'm so happy it helped.
And good luck with your (soon to be) new beardie 😊
Yay a new shopping list video! 😁😁😁 your videos are so useful and amazing! Thank you for all the info ❤❤
Thank you so much for watching them - I'm happy they're useful 🥰
your content is always so great!
i have a 9 week old hypo leather back central bearded dragon,
i have had her for 8 days now! she is starting to eat green/veg/fruit out of my hands, also very hungry for wood roaches!
she is fitting right in at home! starting to handle her a bit more now, considering i have had her for 8 days, in a week or 2 ill start to bring her out of the enclosure!
Thanks for your great content!, you help alot of us !
Awesome video Elle your videos are always helpful and that's going to help beginner breaded dragon owners and your bearded dragon looks happy and healthy
I cant thank you enough for this video right now. I just bought our brand new baby beardie today & pick him up next week!!! He's my 1st beardie and I am beyond excited. I bought my 17yr old daughter 2 adult female leopard geckos from BHB on Black Friday & they are the absolute best and now I want all the lizards 🤣🤣🤣
Well covered as always Elle! 👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you! 😊
Your videos help me out a lot because I just got a bearded dragon and it’s my first time
Our Bearded Dragon is 2 years old now and she's very attached to her blankie. We have a set of 4 thick Terry cloths and we just swap them out every so often for cleaning. She's had a blankie in her enclosure since she was a baby and always sleeps on it. She'll even kick it down from her hammock and drag it into her cave with her.
Fabric harbours bacteria, so it’s not recommended to have it in reptile enclosures. Also, I strongly recommend switching to a suitable loose substrate mix, burrowing enrichment is extremely important for bearded dragons. A deep layer of a soil/sand/clay mix is ideal.
Aww, this is adorable!
Another great video! I have a really rough nail file for dogs. It's like 4" long by 2" wide and you can run it along your beardo's nails literally once or twice and take those little razors down a bit. I get so much less scratched up when I handle her and she's still able to climb with no issues.
That's a really good idea!
great video, highly informative and you came from a different perspective than other people.GREAT VIDEO😀🤜🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 😊
Another great and informative video. I know you have helped so many people improve the care of there reptiles because of your commitment and love you have for all animals. Just seeing your reptiles and how healthy they are shows it's working and encourages others to do better for there's. Keep them going.😃
GOD BLESS 🐸❤🦎❤🐢❤🐍❤
Oh wow 🥺♥️ thank you so much for the kind words. You made my day. 🥰
Hi Elle! Just want to say that I love your videos on bearded dragons and I think your bearded dragon is beautiful. Mine is the same color, I read its called a Citrus. Mine is about 3 months old and I think he's a male. His name is Makaiah and he's not fond of being held, but I'm working on it. Today after his first meal of mealworms, he let me stroke him down his back 4 times without running away. I was amazed! Usually if my hand comes toward him without something edible and squirming in it, he runs away. Last night, he bearded up at me for the first time. My husband and I had to laugh, it was like a 2 yr old child saying, " I'm gonna get you!"
Thank you, Elle, for your valuable teaching! You've given me more confidence in raising this little guy! Kay
I was just on my way to the pet store to buy some crickets for my beardy, better watch this video first in case I forget something ☺️
🥰
Thank you very much for these videos about bearded dragons they help me so much I'm glad I found this channel
I'm so glad the videos help 🥰
Morning Elle, I just recued a bearded dragon. I already had one of my own also. Awesome list BTW!
That's awesome of you to rescue 🥰 I hope he's doing OK! And thank you 😊
@@ellesreptiles he was in Brumation when I rescued him they had 2 in one tub with no heat or food. My sister took in the 2nd one
Great video, but regarding substrate non adhesive shelf liner is also something I would never recommend as it can still give off toxic gases under a heat lamp :)
CAME IN CLUTCH I JUST GOT ONE AND I AM GETTING AN 80 GAL AND I NEEDED THID THANKYOU SO MUCHHHH
Yay! Congrats on your beardie! 🎉
Ty by the way for that company I love them
OMG i literally just was watching ur old one, this is crazy, what a coincidence.
Hi! I'm getting a baby bearded dragon soon and it's my first time I'm only 13 years old and it takes alot of responsibility I learned 😂 but I'm so grateful that u made this video and I've been subscribed to u for a while now and I wrote all of my research from u Down on a piece of paper 😂 thank you!💜
Hey, I know it's been 4 months since you made this comment, but I am getting a baby bearded dragon next year when I turn 15, and I was wondering if you have any tips? Like flooring, food, and stuff like that. I have watched this video and many others I just want some more advice. Thanks!
Girls, I'm 61 years old and just got my bearded dragon about 5 or 6 weeks ago. I still read everything I can about him. I want to be the best "Dragon Mama" I can be for him. And I refuse to call him a beardie, that sounds so sissy to me. HE'S A DRAGON! A little one, true, but he's still my dragon. Kay
Oh a good suggestion I would think especially for people that live where it gets really cold in the winter and you can’t take them out side having a designated window where you have like a heat lamp I actually just set one up and it’s easy to take down so like it’s not always set up but I’ve been putting her Up there once a day and the first two days she sat there for three hours plus and then finally on the third day she was like “OK I wanna go do something else now” so I took her down before she could jump off lol … if I had a bigger house where it wasn’t literally the window right over my bed I would put stairs on the side so that she could go up and down whenever she wanted… because even though they do have the UVB lights it is still important that they get the natural sunlight
Just so u know u r absolutely correct they can't see standing water however once u teach them something and they get it they will continue to do it I have 6 beardies and have had up to 43 at once and when I tell u everyone drank from a water bowl I legit mean everyone some didn't like it but wud do it but those were baby's they are. Little harder to train however all 6 of my dragons drink there water they usually run thru it the best thing is to put a container big enough for them to swim in they will go in and out of it and see the moving water and drink it so like the dog bowl get one from Walmart with the rubber bottom they will absolutely use it spray water into it to fill it and make them see u that is how I trained all of mine p.s I love u if it wasn't for u I wouldn't have had as much confidence as I did coming into this
They sell really good cards that read the uvb I am saving to get the reader however I'm using the cards for now and they work well enough u will know for a fact if it's not putting out uvb
Thank you so much I really need help! My brother has no idea what he is doing idk if he even cares.😐 So I am taking over 😁so thank you for all of this so helpful,😊❤️🦎
Aww well good luck! I'm glad the beardie is going to be well cared for! ♥️
Ur girl is going broke now!!!! But I am so happy to give my future beardie a good life ❤ I’m getting her in march 😊
Great video!Your background looks awesome! A soft toothbrush is good for cleaning poop off your bearded dragon !!
Thank you! 😊 And yes! I definitely forgot to include that - basically a necessity.
There are people saying half the tank length for uvb is all they need. But I found you first, so my light stretches almost the whole way. That is all I will ever do. Nature doesn't just go half way. If they need away from the light, that's what hides are for. I set a reminder on my calendar for light changing day. The only thing I don't have on you list is the uv tester and a second food dish. And that's because I tong feed her bugs. On the days I work that's the only attention I can give her, so we make a game out of it.
I actually said in the original footage that it's best if as much of the tank as possible is covered in UV because in the wild, the sun is everywhere. But I cut that bit to save on time. 😅 so yes! I completely agree haha.
And oh yea! Feeding tongs are an amazing option - totally should have been on this shopping list! 😊
@@ellesreptiles I'm pretty sure you've said it in the past. It stuck with me. You were the first youtuber I found when I got my beardie. I've watched all of your videos. You give such amazing advice and you have such a calming voice. You guys are so fun to watch too. You also forgot a dehumidifier if you live in a humid area. Which I have for the warmer months. Advice I also got from you!
Mines eating roaches RN
Yeah I went from a timer switch to a smart outlet where I can control it from anywhere on my phone because sometimes during the winter it gets too cold and I need to turn on the ceramic bulb at night so that she doesn’t freeze… That being said my mom also has a bearded dragon it’s a family bearded dragon with my sister and brother and they do not have a timer even though I suggested they take the one I’m not using anymore because I upgraded and it’s just very frustrating to know that that bearded dragon is being neglected sometimes he gets like 20 hours of sunlight sometimes they forget to turn it off at all and they wonder why he’s crazy lol … I have always kind of thought that the tank that I use a small even though it’s the largest one you can get at the pet store and now that I know that people are suggesting 4 foot tanks I’m going to have to measure mine and see and maybe build one myself because I have no idea where to get a bigger one… also there bearded dragon Doesn’t have an actual hide they have one of those rope hammock things and because he hides under it all the time they say no it’s fine… He has nowhere to get away from the light I just thought I should mention that because like it just breaks my heart… If this was a child CPS would be called but people don’t care as much about animals as they do about other stuff
Keep in mind that 4x2x2’ is only the minimum, bigger is strongly recommended and many people believe the minimum should be bigger. I’d try to build a 5x2x3’ or larger.
I heard that there is some new science about the lighting and the effectiveness and placement regarding to uv from arcadia. Whats your thoughts about that?
how do i know what temperature/humidity I should have based on my house temperature and the temperature on the heat pad?
I’m getting a bearded dragon I have a Pug and she is very vocal. Will this cause the bearded dragon more stress and if so how could I make the stress manageable and everyone be happy?
My beardie has stunted growth, or it’s a runt. Idk how to tell which one it is. She’s over a year and a few inches below the the average length
African fat tailed geckos vs leopard geckos
Ultimate debate
It really is!
I just got my first beardie and what is a normal amount of Poop and How often is good? Thank You!!
Hi umm not to bother you but I got a bearded dragon two months ago and I was wondering if it will Be OK if I use wood chipping at the bottom of its enclosure
Everyone subscribe this UA-camr is incredible she deserves 100 mil
What if I get a 75 gall fish tank and turn it on its side so it's a front opening tank??
I got a bearded dragon in October and he’s so sad and lethargic and I took him to the vet and they tested him for parasites and adenovirus and everything came back fine. He’s still so sluggish and hides from his light. He gets calcium powder on his worms and his lighting is fine according to the vet. Do you have any suggestions to get him out of his funk? When we first got him he got sick and he got dewormer and calcium drops and he perked up and shed and gained weight but all the sudden he plummeted again. I’m just not sure how I can help him.
I have various reptiles but I've always held back from beardies. I'm terrified of MBD and I've seen so many dragons with awful mbd from care mistakes. Maybe one day I'll get one.
That's understandable! It's very easy to prevent, though, as long as you have the correct lighting and dust their bugs with supplements 🥰
If you are prepared to give them the proper lighting and supplements, please don't let this scare you. They are amazing animals. I'm pretty sure my girl was starting to have issues with mbd before I got her. Her jaw is slightly crooked and she has a toe that is twisted. Her supplements get stuck on her mouth and I have to keep it clean. But she has all the correct lighting now so I don't worry about it progressing.
@@ellesreptiles for some reason my anxiety just fixates on MBD 😅
Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I got my 7y/o a beardie and all has been well, but today I noticed her shedding and she started waving her hand really fast. Wondering if i should be worried or do they flicker in this way to remove shed? 🤔
That sounds normal. They do all kind of weird movements when they're shedding, just because they're uncomfortable and trying to get the shed off 😊
Pets animals reptiles 👍
Amazing video! I recently got my bearded dragon around a week ago and was wondering if I should change my substrate I'm using rabbit pellets right now. He seems to be doing well but I wouldn't want it to cause problems in the future.
By rabbit pellets do you mean the food? Like alfalfa pellets? If so, I definitely wouldn't use that. These can break down and cause mold if they get wet, whether from water or your beardie going to the bathroom. And if your beardie is using the bathroom on it, and they decide to try a pellet - they're now at a greater parasite risk.
The brand I’m using right now is called Kaytee supreme rabbit food. It’s what the reptile place recommended when I got my bearded dragon.
Correct me if im wrong but i heard bioactive mixes can make a beardie sick is this true?
Love your videos. But can you make one on what to buy for An Bioactive tank plllllllzzzzzzzzz
Yes good idea i want that video to
That's a really good idea! I can do that 😊
@@ellesreptiles thank youuuu
Great video! I was wondering if bearded dragons stink, I’m hesitant on getting one because of that reason. Thanks for the video!
As long as you keep the tank cleaned out they don't. There are also several brand of bearded dragon safe soap now that can make them smell good 😊
@@ellesreptiles thank you!!
For my first time having a beardie is it ok to have a non front opening tank to start off with??
You can, but it’s not ideal. You’ll need to move the lights every time you open the enclosure (which can get annoying) and it may make taming more difficult, since coming from above can make you seem like a predator.
I have been begging my parents for years please any advice 😢
Were do you live
FIRST! love your vids
Thank you! 😊
Please can you do a blue tongue skink shopping list. Because soon we will be getting a northern blue tongue skink
Yes! I'm not sure when, but it's added to my list 😊
@@ellesreptiles Thank you so much love your videos and animals 😊💗
