The petsmart near me, the workers there told me to stay away from the thrive lids, coil uvb bulbs, and directed me towards being bioactive. They are exactly what a petstore employee should be.

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

That’s actually awesome! Good job for them! There is some petsmart employees who know there stuff!

[@bullfrogjay4383]

That is definitely cool.

[@BenjaminWilson-gk9ve]

Another amazing vid! Yay! Also I looked at your Amazon stuff and the snake supplies is great, everything about it!! The looks, and EVERYTHING!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Thank you!

[@gamingwithgodlucky7635]

love the videos. Glad to see your growing so much

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Thank you! Yes it’s crazy going to be at 100k soon!

[@user-bj9nw5wf5n]

What a great follow-up for your previous video! I was hoping you'd do one of these types of updates. It's always a good day when Chief Sweet comes out with a new video. Thank you for providing trustworthy and educational content to reptile hobbyists everywhere.

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

That means a lot thank you so much!

[@tinacoribella5]

“Snuggly”😂-LOL…you’re Great!! Always love your videos!!!

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Haha thank you

[@kymbryant5972]

Great videos man! My 7 yr old son has been reading books, watching and researching for months about getting a pet beardy and he loves your videos

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Thank you! That’s awesome glad he likes them!

[@AlexAllenKale]

This is the right beginner setup

[@garg4531]

I love that one of the first things you explain is the importance of uvb and heat, and how the lights in starter kits aren’t enough (honestly the fact that it’s literally alternating between nothing and 0.01 is really something o_o Especially when you consider that 3.0 is the bare minimum!)

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Yeah it actually was giving 2.0 with the updated screen but the regular screen it comes with blocks soo much it just blocked all of it haha.

man, u make such a good vid

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Thank you

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse and also, my friend's bearded dragon start eating sand, is it true that this could mean that it needs some extra vitamin apart from D(he doesn't have one)?

[@Lofa_Neva_Loafing]

Nahhh the second “guess where I got this outside”had me😂😂😂

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Haha glad you enjoyed

[@user-vv6ol5mp4t]

Hey do you think you could do a video over uvb requirements for leopard geckos or ballpythons

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Yes making those videos soon!

[@user-vv6ol5mp4t]

​@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you!!!!! I can not for the life of me find somebody that breaks it down for me

[@BradStudet]

just discovered you but your really good

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Thank you

[@janetrojas396]

I’ve been watching your vids to start learning about bearded dragons! They have helped out a ton! I keep hearing mixed things about the substrate and getting it to make yourself from Home Depot. Do you recommend for older bearded dragons or for babies with the substrate you make? I just got the same tank and the additions like the different screen, UVB strip, etc. also! Thank you!

[@janetrojas396]

Also what are your thoughts on Cyprus mulch?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

I use the mixed substrate for babies and adults no issues happen. Happy I helped out! Also lots of advanced keepers and many breeders use the mix of play sand and top soil/ reptisand and reptisoil. It’s up to you on the substrate choice really

[@janetrojas396]

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse awesome! I just went a got my beardy today! I just did paper towels for now, but when I go to Home Depot today I think I’ll go ahead and get the substrate to make myself! Thank you!

[@jacobgarza5806]

Will it work with the stackable bracket that I bought with the different screen?

[@chrisg2419]

Great video! Do you know if lilac leaves are safe for bearded dragons? I know they're good for tortoise's.

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Yeah they are fine for beardies

[@chrisg2419]

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Thank you!

[@katiemusser8523]

What size tank do you recommend for an adult bearded dragon? Where would I find that tank for purchase?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

I recommend a 4x2x2. You can get them on amazon amzn.to/3R1Fy2i

[@willammoore862]

It looks like you put the substrate a bit higher in the back than in the front of the tank, is there a specific benefit for that?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Oh yeah just to allow for deeper digging. That’s really all. No real reason just in case the dragon wants to dig more

[@bananasmoothie5185]

Yo bro I’ve been watching your videos for 2 months now in prep in getting a bearded dragon and I want to say you are the best person when it comes to advice for beadies thank you you have helped me so much i also wanted to ask I’m struggling on substrate as i live in Australia it’s hard to get products like fertilizer free soil and stuff like that so i have this plan so far My enclosures about 5x2x2 and these are the materials so i have: Horticultural charcoal 5l Peat moss 5l Coco coir 30l Jurassic Australian sand 18l Sphagnum moss 150g Play sand 20l Leaf litter Is that a good plan and if so should i mix it all together in certain quantities of course or should i layer it with certain materials or if you think i should get other things and get rid of other things. Thank you so much for helping me and thousands of other people.

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

This all looks great you can leave the coco coir and sphagnum moss out. Other than that looks to be a reallly good bioactive mix

[@Snipe_the_hype278]

Could a 4 ft x 1.5 x 2 work for a beardy it’s a glass tank

[@Bunnylover-is5kr]

Yes!

[@amyturner2253]

Hey, im trying to find the link for the new screen in your amazon list but i dont see it

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Oh yeah it won’t be the same but I’ll update it with the Zilla one which is identical just different brand. Added it to best reptile products

[@ayeenenes]

Do you usually turn the lights off at night or leave them on all the time

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Turn them off all at night

[@ayeenenes]

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thanks you’re the best !

[@garg4531]

Leaving them off at night makes sense After all, in nature reptiles don’t have the sun beaming down on them all night 😉

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

@@garg4531 that’s right! Plus it also cools down at night as well lots of times double digit cool downs. So good to have no heat sources unless it’s like 59f in your house

Hey what if you’re not sure how to setup the decor like I’m not sure how to set up the basking sot right can you help

[@user-ew4sq2jj5z]

Basking spot

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

I have a bearded dragon setup video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGbRo5WsjLpnb9Usi=q6TU3vHshGAY6hZ0

[@user-ew4sq2jj5z]

Thank you

[@meganstoner9035]

Is it normal for bearded dragons to spend a lot of time on the cool side of enclosure ?? Just recently my beardie only basks after she eats and hasn’t been wanting greens. Help please!

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

It may be too hot on the basking spot. Check temps and see if it’s above target temps

[@meganstoner9035]

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse the temps on the basking spot are between 90 and 100.1 and the cool side was at 78 I believe.

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

@@meganstoner9035 are the air temps readin this? if so too hot. you do need a temp gun to take basking spot temps and the air temps are read by regular thermometers

[@meganstoner9035]

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I used a temp gun to get those temps

[@Mr.Hashira]

Can you do one for leopard gecko

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Yes

[@Mr.Hashira]

I have a thrive kit for my leopard gecko it's the 40 gallon also for the substrate. Mix can i use jungle mix soil and reptile sand and excavator soil? ​@@ChiefSweetsUniverse

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

@@Mr.Hashira yes that works as well the jungle mix is pretty much the same as reptisoil

[@dreamteamloft]

I bought top soil from Home Depot and as soon as I got my bearded dragons he ate a stick from the soil. Now he’s not eating and no poop yet.

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Make sure he’s hydrated feed lots of romaine lettuce and he’ll poop it out

[@julianto4361]

Also make sure your basking zone reaches the optimal temperature for proper digestion (38-42c)

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

@@julianto4361 forgot to mention this thank you! That is exactly right!
