Bearded Dragons! What, Where, How

[@ag3639]

Your 'What, Where, How' videos are my favorite!

[@erikandfox]

Fun fact: they played the role of yellow-spotted lizards in the movie Holes.

[@blacktrickstar3468]

EZ Dee Why didn't they use frilled dragons?

[@erikandfox]

Cheaper? Easier to find/handle? Not aggressive? Idk I didn't work on the movie lol

[@donut5818]

I'm going to get a leatherback het hypo trans female beardie

[@GirtheAlienGoldfish]

They didn't use frilled lizards because beardies are more fitting of what the yellow-spotted lizard was supposed to look like.

[@Cheer_gurl299]

EZ Dee yes the did

[@treetiger3aj924]

I don't know but I think she forgot to say how to take them a bath. - make the water warm. - don't put soap or anything just water. - make them swim around then they will poop. - water needs or can be up to your nuckles. - when there done put them on a towel to dry them. That how to give them bath your welcome :3

[@user-oh6xq8lx3z]

And if not up to your knuckles it's safer to do it up to half their belly or halfway up their arms.

[@sour_pinata]

My beardie is a blanket lover, snuggler, and gets massages in the bath.

[@Chumpfish1]

He is so spoiled😂

[@teslamulrath6434]

Randi Peters sounds like a spoiled baby 😂😂❤️

[@TMartin0092]

Bearded dragons are so cool. * *Basically what I say about every animal ambassador Jessi introduces us to. I just really love animals.

[@GeekChicPolitiq]

I really like how you broke down his classification, not just the labels but the specific definition of each label.

[@jamparker969]

[@nerdygameinggurl]

oml did i finally found a person providing CORRECT INFORMATION ABOUT BEARDED DRAGON? unbelivable instant. Im so tierd of the sand as substrate 😌

[@nayruofthezoras1458]

I love beardies! They are so adorable and I always wanted one. At the same time, I'm aware that these precious little reptiles required a lot of costly work. Maybe one day I'll get myself one. 😄

[@ryancentnarowicz]

I found going on vacations was a bit of a challenge with owning a Bearded Dragon because I had to find someone reliable to watch my Bearded Dragon you can’t drop them off at a kennel like a dog. I would say if you like to travel I would not get a Bearded Dragon. That was the only downside owning one was for me other than that they are perfect!

[@fonzer22]

an episode on eyes could be interesting....

[@katieko6633]

I love how you combine information on natural habitat and characteristics of the species with their care. It's so frustrating to try to educate someone on proper pet care when they just claim you're making things up. But with hard facts, it's more difficult to argue. Thank you for such good animal videos!

[@melissaabbey641]

I love that Bindi is watching over Jessi's shoulder and posing for the second half of the video.

[@cadelboyce3873]

bearded dragons can also change sex while they are still young (about 0-2 months old) depending on the temperature

[@me1928273636454]

Omg I'm literally so much like you, I'm so passionate about animals that I love to just sit and research about different animals all the time and tell anyone who will listen about them haha I just don't know how I can live on my passion (if that makes sense) I just want to find any way because I love animals sooooo much. If you (or anyone else) has any advice on this then I'd be sooooo grateful. Thank you 😊😊

[@pilesofbats]

I got a beardie called Waffles for my birthday, and he has already been spoiled with a large tank despite him being a juvenile, and he loves to look at himself in the mirror in the bathroom whenever I take him there for a bath XD

[@RodrigoBarbosaBR]

THAT is a beginner reptile? Geez. I wonder what an expect one needs in terms of care.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Rodrigo Barbosa I know right? It's a big package of responsibility.

[@RodrigoBarbosaBR]

As it should be. When we take an animal into our homes, we have to really care for them. Which is yet another reason I love your channel and the work you do. For me, I have a couple of cockatiels that live with me, and making them happy and comfortable, providing them with the best food (both seed mixes and special extruded feed), toys and lots and lots of love, they are, simply put, the ones that keep my life balanced and all the stress of daily life under control. I hope one day to convince my wife to let me get a couple of Lorikeets. I have my eyes on either a blackcapped or a rainbow. Do you have any of those in AnimalWonders?

[@petriepack]

can you do a video to show us how to do a den for a bearded dragon,🐢,🐟,🐍,🐊, and birds

[@dylank.8688]

Some people find the whole concept of "beginner" reptiles misleading. I would have to agree. I don't think any exotic/non-domesticated animal should be described as a "beginner" level pet. As far as I'm concerned, all reptiles, and amphibians, start at intermediate and work their way up to "only a specialist should be keeping this species for the purposes of rehabilitation or preservation". A lot of these so-called "beginner reptiles" end up dead, unwanted, or in deplorable conditions because commercial pet stores pass them off as some kind of entry level species, that are even appropriate for children to keep. And on that note, I need to go feed my gecko now.

[@garrettburrows442]

definitely not a beginner. most people that think having a dragon would be cool come to discover that are way to responsibility and either give up or don't properly take care of them and they die. it's nothing like a cat or dog theirs alot to contend

[@jamparker969]

The ad under the video is for bearded dragons, so cool!! Way to be relevant KZbin!

[@AdornThyHeadset]

lol, Bindi in the background at 6:13

[@LuckyCoinFrog]

My bearded dragon Tobie is 7 years old now! His favorite salad treats are raspberries, pumpkin, and apple. He ferociously eats them as if they are bugs. Though now that he is older I have to give him warm baths every few days to help him poop. I don't know if he likes baths but he does love telling the other lizard in the mirror who is boss!

[@fogs3430]

Can u guys do a serie where you do like cage tours or just show the cages for all your animals? :) that would give people a better understanding of How the habitat could look :) like you did in this video :D

[@amberloveslearning]

Thanks so much for making this episode! I love the "What, Where, How" episodes and so do my students. I hope you do one on Frogs or Toads next!

[@jadyn5727]

NEVER USE AN UNDERTANK HEATER OR HEAT MAT FOR BEARDED DRAGONS they need overhead lights as they can't gain warmth from their stomachs and they can get burnt easily

[@FireHeart2829]

Thanks! I'm trying to learn this for my aunt whose beardy is doing poorly, won't eat, drink, her skin's super dry and she can barely move her lags. Her tank's in a window so I had my aunt cover one side, the new cool side as we reconfigured the tank, taking out the heating pad! Now I know we did the right thing there at least.

[@vidademikey9790]

Well better tell the people that made this video to stop spreading misinformation ms expert.

[@BeardedDragonCare22]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching this, and was very happy with what you said about substrate! :) The only thing i'd recommend is feeding veggies every day, instead of every few days. Maybe swap the live food and veggie routine around? :) This was very informative! It's a shame people don't always realise how much care they need though :(

[@dothislaterdontprocrastina1396]

outstanding video so clear and punctual while also informative at a nice fast pace

[@SalvanicPapi]

can you make another one of your guinea pigs!?

[@humboldtrootz]

I'm getting my first beardie on Tuesday!!! I'm so excited!!

[@stevegonzalez1500]

Great tutorial on Bearded Dragons! By the way, Love Your Channel !

[@thequestionwhy3827]

I would love a video like this for commonly kept snakes, like rat/corn snakes, or small pythons like Ball Pythons

[@TheReal_ist]

I own a bearded dragon his name is Goliath btw. Love your guys videos, KEEP AT IT.

[@LOUDMOUTHTYRONE]

The Realist Does he turn into a statue in the day?

[@maliaaristone5327]

The Realist and Raymond Smith are u the same person? Bc both of ur lizards are named Goliath Xd

[@monkeygif5543]

The Realist mine is called Norbert

[@petalphan]

What is your opinion of people breeding their reptiles? are there a lot of risks? do you ever breed animals at animal wonders? would you ever make a video about animal breeding or reptile breeding specifically?

[@LadyNyra]

Maybe this is too vague but you guys do exotic animals all the time so what about a 'What, Where, How?' on a common house cat? They're really common but surely their some cool stuff about them.

[@myminizoo4559]

could you do a tour video and show us all of the animals and their enclosures?

[@mrdogscratch]

PLEASE DO ONE ON CRESTED GECKOS!

[@lilithwolfstear9877]

Lettuce isn't recommended, but I can appreciate your video.

[@brinapeanut]

So obviously dry skin is an irritation/health concern with mammals. Is it the same for reptiles? And how do you differentiate between Bad Dry Skin and just normal lizardyness?

[@reptileguy105]

ive always kept mine on a mixture of small rocks and coconut husk.

[@gigifabulous]

They are so cute. Do you know how they generally behave around cockatiels? I'm considering getting a bearded dragon in the future, but I won't if they pose serious danger to the other.

[@Gotimenick]

Great video!!

[@Hugntugs83]

Please have a video of what to do when a bearded dragon sheds and how to take care of them during this process.

[@dirkgently5126]

We have 2 bearded dragons and most days when I go to check on them they jump on my arm and climb up to my shoulders or head and then just sit for a while and I don't know why

[@GhoulishGal]

Hey! Shes the girl from the Kid Science KZbin show! lol

[@zalxder]

dis good leezurd hooman

[@buddybearthebeardie6168]

woah woah lady calm down. Ur so fast at talking. I have a bearded dragon, I even named my profile name after him. BuddyBear :D I love him.

[@FatAxe18]

With the bearded dragon uvb light and heat lamp i know they stay on during the day, but at night do i turn them off or leave them on?

[@1994moviebuff]

Really don't see why I would need to wait till my dragon is older to get a carpet. This was good advice though. Glad my beardie has a reason for not eating his greens

[@bwilson7804]

Ehhh I hear ya, paper towels as a baby still isn't a bad idea like she said easy clean up. They crap a lot more as babies and make a mess. Mine as a adult now goes every few days...

[@laylac4041]

I have a bearded dragon with yellow skin disease. is there anyway I could get in contact with you to ask you some questions about it? I have been trying to get rid of it for about a year now. he has been to the vet but nothing seems to be working.

[@Nagarath16]

Can you guys give Celsius readings for the rest of the World? Or are most of the advice only valid in US?

[@BeardedDragonCare22]

I know I'm not them but i can help :) Babies need a hot end temp of about 39 celcius, and a cool end of about 25 Adults need a hot end of about 35 and a cool end of about 22 :) However this is just a guide, as there is varied information on this.

[@Edgar.travels92]

Love your enthusiasm and you have a really nice face too

[@Tiny_Toast]

Can you do a care video on your red tail (Colombian red tail boa) they are beautiful and i would love to know more

[@jjcoleman367]

wow. thank you . so much info. x

[@SammiLeighPalmer]

Do you supplement calcium for Bindi? By dusting or gutloading?

[@animalwondersmontana]

Sammi McSporran We do, once a week we dust her crickets with calcium and powered multivitamin with D3. I didn't include it in the video because it was getting too long already, but I did put a link about it in the description.

[@SammiLeighPalmer]

AnimalWonders Montana Thanks for responding!

[@wowobam]

How do I know which feathers I can cut from a lutino/white winged cockatiels when I clip their wings because I wouldn't wanna harm the bird by accidentally cutting their blood feathers as if I accidentally cutted one I wouldn't know what to do, it'd be amazing if you could answer AnimalWonders :)

[@billyr2904]

When you talked about him, being a reptile, you didn't mention egg-laying or 3-chambered heart, because there are exceptions.

[@hootypatootie]

That is a giant beardie!

[@hiemsx]

What's a good reptile for beginners? Something like a Gecko?

[@aemondseyepatch]

youre freaking me out, lady

[@salty_eyez6804]

Hey Jessie !!

[@Udaling-Trashcan]

I have a bearded dragon and his name is Rocco

[@meadowjones472]

i'm a little confused and worried. my beardie is probably about almost 2 weeks old now. he wouldn't eat any crickets and my parents wouldn't allow dubai roaches. i'm kind of worried because he only eats mealworms as breakfast and dinner. i don't feed him anything else and believe me i've done all my research and all of my information is kept. i know all of the bad stories but as a baby he is only eating 1 mealworm a day? is that okay with the impaction situation? he acts fine and is active too.

[@greed0599]

I love beardies~

[@beardeddragon2555]

Some times I get bit by accident by my bearded dragon when I feed him and it hurts

[@culwin]

How could they have not been in written record until 1964? I know Australia is remote but it was well-explored before that.

[@animalwondersmontana]

culwin I'm not an expert on Australian history and exploration, however from what I've researched their reptiles were not well documented until recently.

[@excessionary]

My thinking is that a lot of it has to do with population and supply. Australia is roughly the same size as the United States, but we have less than 10% the human population. In addition, while our ecosystems run the gamut from tropical rain forest, to snowy peaks and deserts, the majority of our land mass is fairly hard to stay alive in. As such it's possible to travel over land, but hard to survive out there for extended periods of time unless you brought infrastructure with you. As for the bearded dragon, I'd guess that there might be older written records, but they may not have been part of recognized natural history texts. Just my guess.

[@laylac4041]

can you do a video on bearded dragon yellow skin disease? please

[@darcywebervlogs1381]

I come from Australia and would like another pet. Are bearded dragons very active

[@ArunSCool]

Your new subscriber 🙂❤

[@TheEigylyte]

witch veggies and fruits bad for them ?

[@LeoMes01]

is bindi named after bindi irwin

[@keltonwaybright8040]

I have 3 of them my friend calls them an amildilo

[@halo_b8156]

thanks my bearded dragon spyro now has a better enclosure

[@scoutyd1237]

4:35 lol

[@brandoncolman3422]

Only feed mealworms when babies but after that feed them superworms

[@177SCmaro]

Hand gestures!

[@hyperdrivehype4006]

Please someone help me explain to my parents that sand will cause impactions

[@itz_ness8676]

Bindi was annoyed, his bearded was a dark grey

[@Miduuza]

But they can't dig on tile

[@Jake-rb8yk]

I thought the minimum for adults was 40 gallon

[@ragnkja]

I suspect that depends on the shape of their enclosure. For terrestrial animals, a minimum area and ceiling height makes more sense than a minimum volume.

[@fagonfly]

Nillie A minimum area and ceiling height is the same thing as a minimum volume.

[@MidoriFlygon]

not really. surface area/footprint is probably the most important factor. you can have a volume of 40 gallons in a thin tank that's really really tall. 40 gall is probably a better size than a 60 because the area is 36" x 18" while a 60 gall is 48" x 12". 12" is pretty thin for a fully grown 20" bearded dragon. the height is important as well due to the distance between the lights and the dragon. you need the lights as close as possible with little to no obstruction

[@cartersandilands4961]

Jake it is

[@roseabigail2971]

Can you grow a young bearded dragon in a 55 gallon tank?

[@justincristea]

What other reptiles are opportunistic omnivores?

[@xenonautica]

Ohhhh so that's why my Lizard backs away from my parents

[@braunvieh1416]

you do not ever want to use a heat mat for a basking species... they sense temperatures by their heads and they can overheat themselves with heat mats. their bodies will warm up but their head won't warm up nearly as quickly and they won't realize they're too warm until they're far too hot

[@gabsprado121212]

what college did she go ?

[@foxlover5819]

I have a baby bearded dragon

[@whacckk]

ah, she kept calling bindy "her" 😂😂

[@katlynrose5603]

Lol my beardies eat paper towels

[@jordentobin7234]

Never give a bearded dragon carrots or yam because they have high amounts of sugar and can cause diabetes

[@toddlowen5554]

My bearded dragons name is Jessie...O_o

[@davidgold3nrose]

But snakes aren't tetrapods and they're reptiles?

[@Ruffles.G_G]

the eye thing is not true because in the wild they eat tarantulas and scorpions and i have seen a beard eat horn worms and mice but you do what you think is best because it your pet.

[@Ruffles.G_G]

also cockroaches can be a staple diet depending on the size of the beady. but remember to feed them a variety as the video says. feed them crickets, horn worms, cockroaches, lettuces (ROMAINE!!!), and if he or she is big enough small mice and even fish (minnows)! just dont give them anything from outside nor form a bait shop for fishing

[@Suzanaa47]

Could you please include Celsius as well in videos? I'm polish and we don't use Fahrenheit..

[@ragnkja]

Seconded. Providing the conversion on screen would be a great help in making the information easy to understand without having to stop and convert to a familiar unit mid-video.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Suzanaa47 Apologies, we usually try to include the conversion verbally or in text. Thanks for the reminder!

[@Sandwichscoot]

I recommend newspaper because it is easy to clean up their poop with it.

[@Sandwichscoot]

Also, when I first got mine, we tried putting paper towels in his cage. He didn't like it. He was standing against the glass like he wanted to get out. He liked the newspaper though. He was about 8 or 9 inches when I got him.

[@teslamulrath6434]

I would recommend no meal worms what so ever

[@schonsospaet22]

nice video and good information, but breathe - breathe baby, you talk to fast

[@sirpieman300]

can they eat mealworms when there a baby?

[@TrailDrifterPhalanx]

sirpieman300 no, mealworms should honestly be avoided, especially as babies

[@Rainefaelyn]

We have a couple of bearded dragons that visit every couple of weeks. Also a blue tongue. We have a bush scrub area just behind us and across the road. As well as a creek a few houses down. So despite living in suburban Brisbane (10 minutes from the city center) we get a fair few interesting visitors. The bearded dragons hang out on the rocks in our back yard and occasionally steal little pieces of our dogs food. They also have come up to our back door and peered in. It's almost like they are deliberately teasing our cat.

[@nono-sh1iu]

that sounds awesome. there's a big iguana that lives in the grassy area beside my apt bldg. it runs away from humans though.

[@GirtheAlienGoldfish]

They be like, "henlo u stinky cat. go eat a mouse, ugly."

[@efrenchen293]

In a few days from now: Happy Steve Irwin Day! Perfect that you do an episode on Bindi!

[@the_schrecky]

[@leeannemartin2461]

theres a bearded dragon in the pets at home near me that i would always go and say hello to, I stopped going for a few weeks cause of work and when I went back it ran up to the front of the tank when it saw me

[@ilovedbzsomuch18]

you might have spook it

[@leeannemartin2461]

Connor Hunt no it ran up to me

[@dm_nimbus]

I didn't know that bearded dragons were that smart. Learn something every day :). Where does reptile intelligence range?

[@jamparker969]

+

[@waterjades]

James Craver Some are smarter than others. Mine recognizes her name and will come running when I call her. She's always trying to figure out what I'm doing and wanting to eat what I'm eating (which she's not always allowed because it's not good for her)

[@dm_nimbus]

Sounds like a scaly puppy :) I used to have a box turtle, but it didn't seem so high on the intelligence scale, just biting anything that entered the terrarium.

[@jamparker969]

[@Mistfall254]

James Craver Yea, my buddy Apollo knows my voice,and gets really distraught like when I had shunt revision surgery last year

[@robertschilling3308]

does she ever breath?

Haha haha lol Xd

[@maxattack3853]

[@cheaterman49]

Hi Jessi, thanks for the great video! Could it be possible that you speak in imperial units but caption the video with metric instead? I expect most of us to have a hard time doing the conversion while still paying attention :-) - I know I do! Thanks again for all the awesomeness, keep it coming ^__^

[@xmissxvictoriax]

Bindi is saying, "why is this chick yelling in my ear..."

[@Raulruul]

when she said how the bottom of their head becomes black mean irritation. Bearded dragon Turns bottom black*

[@rayhs1984]

Had one named Goliath. He loved him some raw green beans.
