Bearded Dragon Hibernation / Is It SAFE to Ship Dragons??

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Many of you have asked for a simple and easy place to find all of the supplies that we carry and recommend. Here they are. And our promise to you is this: We will never carry supplies that we wouldn't use on our own animals here at C.B.C. Every single product that we carry, we use. So as Philbilly Tubbalard would say: "This right here be the place to git yo reptile stuff..." www.coldbloodcreations.online/supplies

You re videos are great. As someone who is actively doing all the research I can before purchasing a bearded dragon, your videos have become invaluable!! I'm hoping to purchase one from you actually! We livr in Georgia as well

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Thank you. We love to see our dragons go to homes that have well prepared for their arrival.

Last year Rosa brumated for 6 months! I had to bother her each day to finally bring her out of it. She was fine once I made her wake up - it was scarry that she didn't want to wake on her own. I wonder if the long time was because she was obese and suffering malnutrition when I rescued her. She was down to a healthier weight and showing signs of better nutrition when bruation time arrived. This year I finally got her to eat greens (bee pollen a life saver) and she actually had a normal shed! Hoping this brumation is not so long.

I'm currently doing researching, as I'd like to have a bearded dragon. I've never cared for a reptile and don't have much knowledge. Your videos have been such a great help! Thank you

Love the bearded dragon videos, definitely enlightening. I’m from Ludowici, GA I’ll have to stop by and see your shop!

[@Dovietail]

I live in central AZ, and my beardie hibernates every year. You dont have to be too far north to see this behavior.

[@beardiebrandice]

Good vid overall but hot hands heat packs should never, ever be used for reptile shipping as they're known to reach temps above 140°. Pretty sure even Debbie would agree that Uniheat packs are so much safer!! Please consider making the switch to a safer heat pack! ✌

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Thank you, but we and many others have used these for many years and have never had an issue. Not once. I have tested them with a thermometer that records both the high and lows, and these will not heat up the size box anywhere near that temp you mentioned. The surface temp might reach that, though I highly doubt it, but the boxes that we tested, where the thermometer was kept in a box kept inside at room temperature (70 degrees) never reached above 91 degrees. (which is ok for dragons, though not most snakes). But I will look into this, and test again as products do change over time. Thank you for the heads up too my friend.

[@beardiebrandice]

@@ColdBloodCreations hey thanks for being open to suggestion!💖 Some people take it personal when really it's just the animals best interest in mind. I'm glad to hear you've tested them yourself for safety, that's more than most would do. And you are right the horror stories I've been shared did involve snakes and frogs, not beardies. I'd just hate for someone to experience a loss in shipping due to using an unsafe heat pack when there's other options that are only a little bit more costly. Pennies when you consider how much shipping costs overall!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

No problem at all. None of us are so superior that we can't learn from one another. I've been doing this for over 30 years and last week I picked up a couple of amazing reptile room tricks from a guy probably half my age. I appreciate you mentioning that to us. In fact I'm gonna have Debbie send me some of the ones you mentioned to see how they compare.

[@torishillcutt]

Hi! Love your videos! Watch all the time. However, I saw that clip with the hot hand heat pack and had to look through the comments to see if someone else had mentioned... As a regular user of hot hands (and I live in Georgia near you) I saw this and was shocked! Hot hand heat packs last for a maximum of 30 minutes..... not at all acceptable for hours in 30 degree or lower temps. Hope you can reconsider using a heat pack that lasts for longer!

[@brittanycruz1717]

How long do they typically hibernate, and how will you know when they are done?

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We usually allow ours to hibernate for 3 months. We usually wake em up ourselves, but they will start to open their eyes and be more active when you allow them to wake on their own.

[@raymondnormandeau2173]

Hi there I just started watching your channel and I am learning a lot from you. So I have not purchased a dragon yet because I want all info I can get. My wife bought me a full kit set up for xmas shh she doesn't know I know lol, any way watching your channel and I herd you say you ship anywhere in the country? does that mean Canada? I really like how you care for your animals so much knowledge. Props to that lol

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We can ship to Canada. It is a bit of an expense though...

[@raymondnormandeau2173]

Oh, I thought when you said $50 to anywhere in the country that you were talking about Canada also

[@bronxraingee8050]

Yasssss. Thank you sooo much

[@ColdBloodCreations]

No problem! Thanks for watching. :)

[@QueenLogic87]

Can you do a video on how to tame baby bearded dragons... Mine does not want to be touched.. She is about 4 months old...

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We covered that in a recent video. Check out our entire bearded dragon series videos.

[@marieharrigill8356]

Love your Chanel I have learned so much even growing mealworms I notice there a black spot on my dragon any idea of what it could be is the heat lamp to close to him ? Thanks

[@yaacovmoshesilverman3272]

My dragon still basks and his light period is fixed, but he does often hang out with his eyes closed and is minimally responsive, even to his favorite food. He has reduced his eating to only super worms (he never ate much vegetables) and only eats pellets accidentally (I give one super worm by hand to get his attention, then put a few in the bowl with the pellets). Suggestions?

[@ColdBloodCreations]

If they don't bask, don't feed. The food left in the stomach of a cold dragon will simply rot in their gut. NOT GOOD. I'd stop feeding and cut the lights for a while.

[@wendyadams7508]

Mine is going into hibernation. So what you are saying is I can turn the lights off during hibernation?

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That's right.

[@amysmiles9751]

My beardy is on the small side. I think its because I let him sleep through the winter when he was only close to a year old.

[@elizabethkulinna8704]

How are the dragons able to breathe through all of the insolation?

[@SturrFryN7]

Hey y’all love the channel I have one question: what are your thoughts on under tank heat mats/pads and are they essential or can lamps provide enough heat in their own? (I live in northern Ohio) Most people I’ve talked to like them but I’m a bit wary since I had a lizard get burns from one of them once

[@ingwerminze]

Hello guys! I live in Germany and my Beardie should be 1 1/2 now. The problem is: The two winters he literally went for brumation for 6 months each (even when he was only a few months old), just coming out for a drink now and then. I keep track of all his actions, dinners and I always react on his (natural) behaviour but I am so afraid that he might get MBD and that I am doing something wrong but I also don’t want to overreact. He currently is 28cm long. Is he too small? He looks healthy and behaves attentive and he always wants to eat. ^^

[@alexander_3923]

Can mbd happen at any age in bearded dragon or mostly young?

[@brandonmcqueary7608]

My vet told me they don’t hibernate as well! My bearded dragon is 1 year old.

[@telyconde4183]

How do u if it’s adults or a baby.

[@koleoltmanns1144]

Hello, we have a bearded dragon that is under six months old and is showing signs of hibernating. After watching your video and reading over a few article all say we should try and stop her from doing so. How would you advise me to waking her up without over stressing her out?

[@kaitlynredetzke9031]

Vet, your dragon is too young

[@sandraspreacker9706]

My 2yr old male has been black bearded for a month, he's not sick but won't eat just lays there, is it possible he wants to brumate, it's August and hot out but idk what to do

[@ColdBloodCreations]

He may be too hot. Check temps ASAP.

How can I buy a bearded dragon from you ?

[@winged_cat_4571]

Can you just feed your bearded dragon crickets?

[@NewHunterScallop]

What if you live in Ohio?

[@XMsBossLadyX]

How can I tell the sex of Bearded Dragons

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Same as with humans. Penis = male. 100% every time. Guaranteed.
