I dont get the “everyone has a beardie” trope when they are still nowhere near as common as cats and dogs. A beardie will always be exotic and cool because its a reptile.

[@rickcroney1286]

Great information. Beardies are cool but also remember they live a long time and that means you are responsible for them for a long time. Too many of them are up for adoption everyday.

Your right I see it all the time and it's sad. Most people are selling or giving away the enclosure and lizard for free. Wish I could save a bunch but like you say it's alot or responsibility

[@insanity4224]

Had my Beardie 12 years and he’s still going strong. I live where they occur naturally so he lives in his enclosure outside. No heating devices or lights. Gets afternoon Sun. Hibernates all winter so only eats 8 months of the year. Caterpillar or snails as protein (from the garden) and flowers/veggies for plant matter. In summer temp gets to 40c/104F so I put him in a bucket in the shade. In winter the temp gets down to as low as 1c/34F. He stays in his enclosure and sleeps for months. I see temperature ranges recommended for these animals that are not at all what they are exposed to in the wild. BUT I would not recommend my way over what Wicken’s is saying. It’s just interesting.

[@Godistriun3]

Can you make a video of the enclosure.. I also live in a desert with a bearded dragon and would appreciate the advice

[@insanity4224]

@@Godistriun3 just has red sand, some climbing logs, a hiding hole to escape the sun if required. Only gets Sun in the very early morning and late afternoon. Water bow for drinking and a food bowl. It’s a reptile enclosure so has plenty of ventilation. On days where the temperature reaches 35*C+ I put the dragon in a ventilated bucket in the house so he doesn’t get too hot.

What's your favorite thing to watch your dragon do?

[@settheworldonfire94]

I’m watching this because I am a teacher, and I got a bearded dragon for my classroom through a grant for teachers. Unfortunately, I got him at PetSmart before I knew how they got their animals, but I am trying to give him the best possible care. He’s a cute little guy, and I’m keeping him at home for now because I read that the juveniles can get stressed in a louder environment like a classroom.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Hey no worries

[@mushroombones2483]

As someone who’s baby recently passed after living a long 16 years I really appreciate this tutorial especially since it’s been a while since I’ve had to start from scratch

[@danime4288]

Beardies are such lovely animals! It's great how they respond and interact with us humans. Before getting a bearded dragon it is important to know, that they do brumate (winter rest) and what you have to do to give them the right condtions for brumation. It is important for their healthiness. First time my beardie brumated, I was so scared - although I knew they would do so. I checked on her every day and night to see, if she was still alive 😅 But it's okay and no big deal once you know, what to do.

[@graciebrain2565]

I love my beardie sooo much I have someone looking after him for 2 days while I’m away and I carted at leaving him 😂

[@michaelraines3465]

So I just got a baby bearded dragon. I live in Tennessee it's cold here right now. So when will he brumate? I'm learning as I go

[@danime4288]

​@@michaelraines3465 hi, I don't know at what age they start brumation. I always get grown-up rescued animals. But I always let them decide, when they want to go into brumation. They live free in our room, so I clearly get the signs when they get less active and eat less and lesser. It is important that their intestine are empty when they brumate. If Beardies live in a terrarium, you shorten the illumination time of their UV/lights week by week. There are many websites in the internet to look at the details. I always look at several pages, because some information can differ from website to website. I hope everything was coherent, because english is not my first language 😅 Sending hugs into the US 😊

[@shannons8394]

My beardie, Frankie, is my favorite reptile. I am going to name my reptile education business after her and eventually will use my reptiles in my speech language pathology therapy sessions. That way I can combine my obsession with my passion. I very much appreciate your videos, thank you!

[@BobbieLGoodman]

[@jolenedyer4629]

Great video! We tried rehabbing a beardie about a month ago. He was 8 years old and was in a 20 gallon tank. He lived off of pellets. Unfortunately he was severely dehydrated and ended up with an impaction and aspirated two days after a small bath. Since then we got another beardie as a surrender and he's thriving! I do encourage people to search for those who want to surrender because they're out there. I had five people willing to just give theirs away because they couldn't handle the responsibilities. My son now wants to make it a job to help rehab beardie and get them to health.

[@withoutthecoins6060]

I have a beardie called Arthur. He is so so chill and gives me such amazing relaxed vibes when he snuggles into my neck that i need to be careful i don't fall asleep with him on my chest (i have 3 cats and a dog too) 🦎💚

My hubby has a coworker who took in a beardie, but they didn't really know anything about them. When they took it in, it was in 20/40 gal tank as an adult. We try our best to offer them as much advice & resources (such as videos like this one) for information as possible. Hopefully, in the future their beardie can have a better life and they can learn the proper way to care for him 🧡

My daughter and I have four beardies between us. Two are missing the ends of their tails, a foot and some toes. The other two have varying degrees of MBD. She owns three and I have one. They are all amazing characters! We spoil them rotten after their rough start in life. If you can, adopt a rescue. Our local reptile store got these and we took them in. Just wanted folks to know even if one is missing a foot or is stunted, they still are full of personality.

[@Gbody_Klown]

I get my first beardie this weekend (rescuing from family that doesn't have time) coming in a 55gal and hasn't had the proper lighting in some time gonna build my own enclosure (these companies and sellers are pricing 120gal+ outrageously) it walks on leash and chills out with literally anyone especially kids😂I can't wait

I've wanted a bearded dragon FOREVER. Yesterday, my friend gave me her rescue. She has two. One is a little on the -do, not touch me side & the one she gave me, which is a three-legged sweet, sweet girl. She is awesome! I'm worried that I'm not going to give her what she needs to thrive but the basics are covered. She's got night and day lamps, her main heat lamp, both stumps she loves to climb and rest on & her cool side with another climb area, plants, food & water. She loves to be held. Learning as I go. & these videos are going to be a big help! ❤ ❤ ty

Thank you for this. I've almost owned my 1st bearded dragon for 2 weeks now and totally in love. She does amazingly well as the exotics shop had her as one of the cheaper dragons you can get. They sell the ones that are missing a toe or end of the tail cheaper. Gemma is missing the end of her tail, but also she is missing one of her back feet. Doesn't stop her climbing and running around the place.

[@kerseykrewzoo]

I hate that pet stores are allowed to sell animals and this poor bearded dragon missing pieces is one of the reasons. Glad this animal has been blessed with an owner who cares enough to do research on proper care and husbandry and obviously loves them very much.

[@lizlilliman3644]

@@kerseykrewzoo it's a good small shop, and I'd rather that they did sell them then kill them for missing bits. He has amazing set ups, with each animal being given more space then they need. His dragons have all been well handled since birth and she lives her salad as much as her insects. He has chucked bits in for free, so when we got the bits to set up the tank he gave us food bowls and rocks free. Then when we got her he gave us a weeks supply of bugs free as well. He is knowledgable and was happy to answer any questions no matter how silly they seemed. At least we didn't get her from pets at home as they had no clue on what they needed.

[@kerseykrewzoo]

@@lizlilliman3644 Ohhh okay. I thought you got her from one of the big chain pet stores. The smaller, privately owned shops are usually more knowledgeable and able to give you bundled deals and such. All my animals are rescues except for 2 ball pythons I'm waiting for good weather to ship them home. I take in unwanted and/or deformed animals that most people don't want because I believe they deserve a chance at a happy life, too. 😊

[@meelozoe626]

This is such a good care guide, but remember to do as much research as you can when getting any pet. Also, sometimes they can be picky when it comes to eating their salad. A great tip is to try dusting the salad with bee pollen. It is great for beardies and mine, at least, really loves it.

I’m sorry bee pollen? That’s new to me, where do you get yours from?😄

[@justinpaul3110]

Few things I'd add: 1. Go with the most recent information. They've been popular for so long that there's A TON of antiquated information out there. 2. If you get a baby, get a roach colony going BEFORE you get the dragon. Babies eat so, so much. They are WILDLY expensive, out of proportion to their initial cost, to feed. 3. Gradients are super easy if you have lots of stuff in there. Plus, it makes the dragon happier. I noticed that when I upgraded my dragon to her new home. Most people's enclosures are the right-size but are too minimalist. 4. These aren't exactly beginner reptiles. They are more along the lines of the beginning of intermediate level reptiles. 5. DON'T FUCKING STRESS OUT. The level of neuroticism in bearded dragon keepers is positively astounding to me. Yes they are not beginner reptiles but they're not fragile animals at all.

They are beginning reptile, not intermediate at all. The rest of your tips is good except that one

My bearded, Tweak, is loaded with personality. She glass surfs when she wants to be out with the family. She spends more time on the cat tower than the cats do. She seems to love to watch tv and she likes to ride on my shoulder when I do house work to music. Her enclosed is a hand built corner hutch with glass windows with a living room view and French window doors facing the kitchen. Every time I open her doors out cat Towelie jumps in to hang out with her. They seem to be best friends. The cat will even go to the warm side to sleep there. She spent a lot of time outside this summer and seemed to enjoy exploring, now the winter is here she sleeps more, mostly with the cat.

Please don’t let your cats and bearded dragon interact! They’re predators and prey. All it takes is one scratch or bite and a cat could seriously injure or kill your beardie. Saying they’re best friends is anthropomorphism. There is no benefit to the beardie, only risks.

[@kerrymotiejaitis7929]

@@nightinggale6470 I thank you for your concern, however I've been raising cats dogs fish and bearded together for years. My critters do great at coexisting with one another. Humans could take a lesson from them.

[@CharleeRed]

i may be coming into ownership of a beardie, so I'm learning as much as i can. she's six, and currently belongs to a good friend of mine. I'm trying to do right by her

I’m about to adopt a small little three year old guy from a friend, he just needs more attention. I cannot wait to take care of him ❤

[@ginacardarella]

It's good to watch You guys is videos. Even when you think you know what all as reminders? As I forget about the water bowl. And I think I tend to overfeel so thanks for all your advice❤

I'm always willing to learn and I adore these videos! I've been keeping many species over the years, but never a beardie until now. I work as the head vet tech at a local shelter (I also work in emergency and specialize in critical care and stabilization) and a beardie was surrendered to us. She was in a house fire (with a bunch of other small animals), left behind for 2 days - the fire department didn't find her until later. She was already improperly kept in a 20 gallon with a coil UVB, anorexic, with inappetence and severely dehydrated. She was young and still had time to correct the issue.. It's not usual that we get reptiles at the shelter and no one to foster her. I became a beardie enthusiast overnight, and put my nursing skills to the test.. I was 80% sure she was not going to make it, and I would have to make the call for humane care. BUT She went from 79 grams to now a whopping 220 grams. Eating up a storm, all these salads, crickets, silkworms I've been giving her. All the supplements! Her transformation has been so amazing. Her personality has come right out. She frequents my hospital to meet my coworkers and puts a smile on everyone's face. Yes I adopted her shortly after her arrival, and she's my pal.

Thanks so much for watching 😀

[@gamesring8975]

Wow thanks for the info👍 I love learning about these little dragons 🥰

[@The_Original_LBSwanson]

I've wanted a beardie for decades but still not in a position to have any reptiles. I move around too much. I fell in love with them in highschool when a friend of mine had one. She was super chill and would sit on my shoulder and watch TV with me.

[@Certifiedlisterinemouth]

This has been very helpful to learn for when I get my bearded dragon

[@MrBeefy-og7nw]

EXCELLENT guide! You da man Adam. Love to Diamond. Great info, no bs, and totally agree they are the best reptile pet if I had to choose just one.

[@JeremiahRuffin-oh1lb]

Because of you I love and got my s juvenile bearded dragon

[@crayonpasta]

Hey! I’m tony Andrews daughter! I have a bearded dragon of my own, and your videos are helping me get better care!!

[@shapiro9640]

Thank you for the great information and insight into keeping these lovely dragons .😊

[@itsLizJaramillo]

Bearded dragons are so great! It's so sad how many people don't take proper care of them

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I really hope this video helps change that!

[@janellekrivoruk2493]

I know i hate the whole petsmart/petco care guides that say beardies can live in a 40 gallon

[@ginacardarella]

Ha!!! I prefer not to mention it around. Cause I have to keep track of her but I want her to move around because sometimes i'm afraid she doesn' set an up exercise.

[@harrisonburns9090]

You're my new trusted source of beardie info. I'm an anxious parent for sure and always feel like I'm doing something wrong or that he's not happy or sick or something. The big question I have is if he's about 6-8 months old should I upgrade to a 120 gallon from a 40 gallon and is he ok to have BioDude substrate?

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

hey thanks for watching! Yes you for sure can upgrade and use Biodude substrate

[@harrisonburns9090]

@@WickensWickedReptiles thanks! I'm also a very anxious pet parent and we've noticed our little guy has gotten really lethargic and staying in his hide most of the day the last few days. I'm.sure you've seen a lot of beardies and I'm just wondering if there should be a cause for concern. If you've got any thoughts let me know and happy to give more info. I just trust reptile owners to know a lot about the medical side of things since they've seen it a lot.
