Bearded Dragon Behaviors Explained

[@katepriest346]

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

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That's hilarious XD

[@hyuma_shade]

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

[@Ghost_GAME-X]

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

[@MrFunkhauser]

My new beardie goes to the corner of his cage and has a waving party with all the reflections he sees

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

He's very submissive then

[@TheSaltySiren]

*THANK YOU*!!!!! I wondered what the heck our beardie was up to with the head bobbing. This was perfect timing!!! Keep the videos coming, they’re educational and fun to watch. 💗

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That's awesome, thanks for sharing! More to come!

[@LewfrmHV]

I’ve had my beardie about 2 months now and I love him !! Pricey at first but well worth it !!!!

[@donnajoao]

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 🤗

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That's great, happy to be of help! Thanks for sharing :)

Welcome, Neighbor!

[@MangoTangoJKU]

@@ColdBloodCreations thank you!

[@susanosman3643]

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 👍

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Thanks so much!!

[@josephmarino9145]

So when they are gaping should I turn the heat down ?

[@colleenm9144]

Great video as always. I'm glad I'm not alone with this problem. I hand feed him vegetables and greens for a long time. I know I shouldn't but doing it for years. Great info

[@ethanbilardello6293]

Thanks For all the info!!! I'm getting a bearded dragon soon and you're videos have been really helpful

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That's great, and we're happy to help! Good luck!

[@kidswhoworkandplay2199]

Good job, ladies!! I wondered about that outdoor aggression. Thanks for the info!

[@ryudragonuv]

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.

[@thegood2661]

Just got a dragon today. It was opening its mouth, when searching why it does this shows numerous of reasons of like stress, sickness, and more. Thank you I was really scared.

[@edwardrussellgleeson3774]

Great stuff guys thanks... keep putting those out takes at the end. I'm still laughing.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

LOL we definitely will!

[@kimberlyburdick9666]

I really enjoy watching your video's. This is my first time having bearded dragon's and I watch you and your dad everyday,just to make sure that I'm doing everything the right way.. so thank you so much😊

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Welcome aboard!

[@martinexoticsusa]

Secretly love your guys channel!

[@kermitdafrog4029]

My bearded just laid eggs last week. I was so surprised.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Oh wow!

[@dsc5085]

My female bearded dragon has femoral pores and likes to headbob, and has never waved. She also has layed eggs so she is a tomboy

[@hyuma_shade]

Mine too

[@FunwiththeSalmons]

Super helpful! I was actually just wondering what the mouth gaping meant on my beardie the other day! 😅

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Yay, happy to be of help! Thanks for sharing :)

[@ayanabell698]

Should I be using separate bins for the different stages?

[@Omah50]

Great work ladies!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kush420ism]

Hello thank you so much for all the information this is great to know I just got a bearded dragon for my son and I want to do the best to take care of him now I live in Arizona and I know that you guys spoke about the humidity butt over here it’s very dry is a dry heat how long can I have him outside so he can enjoy the natural sunlight and get his vitamin d .

[@TTVBunnyDougie]

Stay informed, stay beautiful. Thank you!

[@daviddibble2879]

You guys are awesome!!!! Thank you.

[@emilyanncahill2863]

Sooo what if mine has a black beard and head bobs and seems to be a male, but digs around when he goes under his hide? Is he digging just to get comfy or could he be a female?

[@hectorsilva5376]

This is great information! Based on the arm waving my Gandalf may actually be Hermione .

[@michaelfox6948]

Can you please make a video explaining your tactic to tame your baby bearded dragons. Its hard to feed them outside of their enclosure when they don’t want to be taken out or run when you try to grab them gently

[@codyolmstead4907]

awesome. Didn't know alligators gaped as well. Thanks for the great video

[@ColdBloodCreations]

You bet

[@imouhtside]

shes so frickin beautiful

[@joshmorgan7394]

My bearded dragon Leo bobs his head and waves his hand, Leo also tries to dig.

[@drakemaglaqui8310]

Another great video ^_^

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We appreciate it!! Thanks for watching!

[@Leah-ul1lc]

I always wonder why my bearded dragon bobbed his head lol... Izzy my bearded dragon is really smart, he reminds me of a human at times.. I have two females and one of them does wave at the male and digs in the sand a lot.. thanks for the info ;)

[@ellie_m_j]

I'm sending this to my parents who are lizardsitting for me when I'm on vacation lol

[@emmaandamanda]

When can I feed my beardie superworms? How big should he be?

[@ColdBloodCreations]

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!

HAHA!

[@witchylisalou7828]

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!

[@Lexxiilola0331]

My baby bearded dragon does this when I walk in the room the slow head bob with the waving what does that mean ? I always wave back

[@austinreeves4168]

So my beardie is a male but he digs all the time is this normal or could it be some with his setup?

[@maggiemonzon4927]

Hello I have a question I want to send my daughter her bearded dragon to San Diego and I love in Miami, can you recommend someone that can transport it?

[@amandaqueen2475]

We just adopted our first dragon. We love him so much and he's so sweet 🥰 but last night i was holding him and he fell asleep but started gaping in his sleep. It looked like he was burping almost....should i take him to be seen?

[@depressed_weighted_B1anket]

He's bobbin his head because there's a dance party up there. (;

[@missshirley9893]

I love the dance they do. My male be be boppin... He's been and has a cool black beard. My female is a citrus so she's orange. She waves at him and bops her head real slow. He'll climb on her and bite her. She's bigger than him but that don't stop him! Lol! 😂

[@jourdymoretti9081]

I am going to get my first dragon in a couple of months. I’ve been trying to find a good substrate and there’s a million different things. Is sand better than mulch type? I want to make sure I have this correct before I get him.

[@rebapearce95]

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?

[@Kiera.Desmarais]

I have a baby dragon, last weighed in ay 7g, it refuses crickets. I brought it home 3 days ago. I have managed to get it to eat meal worms and this morning a butter worm as well as some baby kale. Do I need to worry about the lack of crickets in the regular diet?

[@kaitlynredetzke7752]

Some just don't like crickets but it could be something he doesn't like that the cricket is eating. You can do mealworms, small superworms, silk worms, bsfl, dubia roaches etc 💕

[@dethsightgaming]

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.

[@markqara723]

My baby bearded dragon is 1 1/2 months old and began to hand waive to me

[@nicobay4512]

Beard dragon look so dumb yet super adorable ♡

[@ilovehazelyn]

My dragon waves at her reflection.

[@tepoztlitlacatl634]

She's submissive to herself lol jk

[@pallana3701]

My dragon waves at me

[@tracylynn1461]

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...

[@metarcee2483]

That was absolutely a tantrum. A massive one, at that. I wish you luck with the little tyrant.

[@lyndseyleahy8469]

My bearded dragon Simba who's a male is bobbing his head especially when he sees our dog Eddie 😂

[@arandomusername4019]

Ohhhh tysm I thought my bearded dragon was bobbing his head at me, but no he was just bobbing his head at the glass (There's only a glass door in the cage so it often looked like he was bobbing his head at me) also it's the time of the year again

[@annaflaherty5206]

what does it mean if my male bearded dragon is swimming and digging in his water bowl

[@gabegonzalez7560]

Mine hissed so I hissed back

[@ColdBloodCreations]

I love this.

[@bigdandtheboys8248]

Are smaller mealworms bad for a baby bearded dragon.

[@904DuvalRaised]

I think I got a female dragon, it’s a baby but I seen the wave twice

[@blame7121]

Thanks, very informative video. I have a male dragon but I've never seen him do the head bobbing, instead he does the arm wave every now and again. Are you saying that my boy is a little wimp?? (jk)

[@edwardrussellgleeson3774]

... and shared

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We appreciate that!

[@jessicashaw2196]

Why was my male doing the arm wave and digging all the time?

[@Digitalhdwmn]

Because your dragon is trying to seduce you😂😂😂😂

[@noahhuraan5353]

I feel like bearded dragon mating is how it should be for humans

[@sigabou7296]

What if he is bouncing his whole body

[@tinyteacosplay479]

My bearded dragon Hotpocket could care less about the sun, in fact when I take her outside to my backyard she tries to go back inside xD or she’ll just sit and do nothing

[@Travelwith_Adrienne]

I am to scared to take my dragon outside

[@donkanonji8585]

ok one day i seen my dragon opening and closing his mouth is that another way to gape

[@reneemurray933]

Yeah I just got a 6 month old

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

Then you have my beardie Luna, who opted to lay eggs on my mom's lap because she was watching a murder mystery and I guess got to involved to walk off and look for a more normal egg laying spot...

[@1uhot426]

Mines got in the cage n waved at me out of nowhere after 2 hours. I was worried cuz i knew it ment he was scared....then i realized my dog was in the room lol

[@lilwildcherrybug]

I have two reptiles

Mines a baby and it bobbed head at me because it thought I was doing it then it wave arms next day lol 🤣

my bearded dragon is small, and so we didn't know what the sex was.. based on this video, looks like my Rex is a Rex- y!

Put a flashlight on the upper part of the tail and raise it up. If it has 2 knocks it's a boy if it don't you have a girl.
