Bearded dragon living it up .. watermelon season

Just gave my paradox bearded dragon some watermelon.. enjoying this summer weather with the windows open and uv shining on his back lol. I’m really enjoying the new 40 gallon tank I got for him .. much better than the 25 being that he’s already over five months he’s growing fast now. #beardeddragonlover #reptiles #homelove #watermelon #healthy #lovable #beardy #habitation #kale

I love how everyone is giving this man unsolicited advice on care for his pet. 😂 Y'all need to touch grass.

Thank you, I definitely learned from people that have bearded dragons as pets, not the internet. But I did learn something new lbvs.

This is not a good setup. Hammocks should not be used in the basking spot. Your dragon needs to be able to bask up on something that can also warm its belly. Dragons like dirt, sand, rocks, and branches. Your dragon has nowhere to go when it brumates. Tons of great care videos on youtube. Look into it.

@@ericr2066 I actually did about 20-30 hours of research before and after buying it. I will consider what you said and look more into it, thank you

He is correct. Also, they are not supposed to have fruit at all. Causes mouthrot, fatty liver, and bloating. They don't eat it in the wild. There are good alternative treats.

@@dereksmyth8596 thank you… yeah I gave him fruit only once before and of course everything Ive done some research on before doing… people really are giving out false information so much I don’t know who to believe. Lol

@Life_Coach_Rio Here is an interview with the world expert on bearded dragons. He goes over everything you can think of. It's a long video but it's broken into parts and time stamped. The channel this video is on is reliable too. They go off of his studies. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZPcZ5dpjt2Mj7ssi=siaiuTMV61kfgx6h

Actuall they can have fruit every now and then, their diet in the wild consists of protiens, vegetables and fruits . You are stating an opinion not a fact. @@dereksmyth8596
