Frequently Asked BEARDED DRAGON Questions

[@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

[@katrinarobertson7173]

Philbilly!!! Lol! “It’s your name kid! He can’t pronounce it!” Hilarious!

[@Omah50]

This video had 1 thumbs down. It must be someone named Zacharia! LOL!

[@Dsmwarrior1996]

I got a buddy from the Philippines, we used to call him Philly Billy, little off topic kinda, but made me think of it 😂

[@colleenmiller2648]

I first want to thank you for making this video!! I am a new bearded dragon owner and I feel like we are making remarkable progress!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That is why we make em. We get hundreds of question about reptiles each and every week, and time simply will not allow us to answer each one. So we decided to do care videos so that people can view at their own leisure and learn valuable care information about their beloved pets in an environment that is not hostile to newcomers. Our character Philbilly is answering questions in this comedy skit, that is often the way newbies are treated in many reptile forums. Sadly, unlike Philbilly, they are not kidding. We hope that many people will have great experiences with their pets because of our videos. And maybe even get a good laugh every now and then. Thanks for watching...

[@A1AAdventures]

The progress & experience doesn’t happen overnight... but with diligent research It DOES.

[@katepriest346]

Am going to be getting a bearded dragon soon and have been watching loads of your videos, thank you for all the info!

[@ColdBloodCreations]

You're so welcome! Thanks for watching, and good luck with your future dragon!

[@A1AAdventures]

There are soooo many technicalities when it comes to proper Bearded Dragon husbandry. Great Vid tackling some great topics

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Thank you, we really appreciate that!

[@ohhowkeni8709]

I just got my bearded dragon. All I really had to go off of was the information my friend knew when they researched how to take care of bearded dragons (they got a bearded dragon and that’s where my love for them grew). Watching your videos makes me feel so much more confident that I’ll take the right steps to ensure my bearded dragon is well taken care of and loved. ❤️

[@lisapasmore207]

Have had my beardie Bahamut for almost 5 months you two have been a wealth of information even thou i did 6 months of research before getting him, I can't thank you enough!!

[@-j43kfr0st-2]

Great video! You guys have helped me with my new beardie so much! I’m a new owner and I appreciate the tips! Without you guys, I would be taking incorrect care of him! Thanks so much guys! Have a great day

[@ghostie-8089]

I might be getting a beardie soon and your videos really help me learn about how to take care of one, I often struggle with my attention span but the way your videos are structured really help keep my attention on the video! Thank you so much keep up the great work!

[@flamingnaruto13]

[@johnbrazell2433]

Dude never blinks.

[@flamingnaruto13]

I’ll have to look thru your videos and make sure it’s not already covered but I got my dragon from a friend, full grown and the age is unknown. I was told “at least 2-3 years” ANYWAYS maybe have a video pertaining to care for older dragons rather than newborns? 💚🐉

[@raphael077]

Awesoume! Greetings from stockholm 🇸🇪

[@woolensnail2584]

Loving that hat

[@noasaurusnancy9937]

I love the information in your videos. We just obtained a juvenile bearded dragon but are not exactly sure how old it is. How do I know I am feeding him enough? We feed him three times a day and keep his veggie bowl full. He hasn't thrown up so far which is good and he poops every 1 - 2 days. He seems to eat anywhere from 10-12 crickets or up to 15 mealworms in one feeding. We remove anything he doesn't eat within ten minutes.

[@OneLove92626]

I recently took my bearded dragon to the vet and they said he was a bit to big lol I guess I need to cut down a bit

[@iiobamnaxxiithethird3498]

Ok, I have a question, what feeder insect is easiest to take care of, and what are the best vegetables for them?

[@gagegarofalo123]

I’m new to your channel, I just purchased a baby dragon from a local breeder (I live in SouthEast Louisiana) I’ve been watching tons of your content and yourself and your daughter are by far the most helpful and knowledgeable reptile enthusiasts on KZbin, and I’d just like to say thank you for the extremely helpful content. I do have a question, I’ve notice he has been rubbing his head on his basking rock, is this cause for concern, or is he just at the beginning of a shedding cycle?

[@tanaandgigiandbecky]

I am also from Louisiana and am looking for a close breeder. Who was the breeder you got yours from gage?

[@dmom1517]

Hi do u have any more baby dragons available???

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Sure do!

[@veroniqueindigostarseed6329]

There is no dumb question. Very professional

[@lindabishop6147]

We got our Dragon when it was 15 inches from end of tail to her end of mouth. How can you tell what age it is. It molts but very little.

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Size will not tell you a dragons age as they grow at different rates even among siblings.

[@krahn27]

I might get one and ur vids have helped me a lot

[@kennethjohnson4987]

You guys crack me up. I think i might get a dragon soon

Hello i was wondering how far you can ship the Beardie i live in California and looking for a baby dragon

[@florence8820]

Bearded dragons DO bite hard. And they can and will cut the blood out. I know this from experience. I have one thats alwys been a biter.

[@joycebenjamin6710]

what can we do if our bearded dragon fall there times.

[@austinrendon6517]

Hi, my bearded dragon occasionally goes periods without eating much at all. He is around 4 months old. I have all the right equipment for his tank, and he is a very friendly and happy dragon. I feed him crickets and mealworms (varying) and salads and he does not seem to go to for the salad much at all, and sometimes will not eat any crickets or mealworms. I mist his salad and make sure to feed the insects calcium supplements. Are there any reasons to this behavior? There is always food offered to him, but he occasionally stops eating for a day or two, and then continues a regular eating pattern for a couple days. Do you have any insight to why this might happen?

[@austinrendon6517]

I also make sure to keep all the insects at the right size for him to consume.

[@stephanies9689]

Use the right size bugs (no larger than distance between dragon's eyes), vary their diet (dubia roaches, hornworm, silkworm, superworm, whatever), and dust with calcium in addition to gut loading. Finely chop veggies, use lots of variety, and don't offer bugs in the morning so they'll eat their veggies. You can offer just plants for a few days if they still won't eat plants, but your dragon is still growing and needs lots of plump bugs for now. If they stop eating and it's not because of hibernation, ask a vet. But yeah, long story short, do your research.

[@weeskittle725]

Hello! I have a bearded dragon that is dominantly grey and black in color. But his head and two of his left limbs turned yellow. I am worried that he might have Yellow Fungus. Please lmk what you think.

[@dennismorgan2230]

We own both a Beardo and a green iguana. Our iguana can definitely cause a lot more damage than our Beardo 🤣 I have the scars to prove it 😂🤣

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Yes sir. I hear ya on that one...

[@haydenmccaffrey3091]

I really want a beared dragon

[@donovanguzman3958]

I heard that when my dragon grows its wings that's the only time they can go out is this true

[@ColdBloodCreations]

Um yeah, sure. Whatever ya think...

[@victorc9987]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 best end ever

[@marygracebradford6218]

[@ColdBloodCreations]

We have just such a video that will be a help to ya already on here...

[@marygracebradford6218]

Cold Blood Creations how long do dragons live if they are properly cared for

[@sjconway420]

Thank You so very much for all the wealth of dependable information you provide. As new adoptive parents of an adult Bearded Dragon, you have been our only source of trustworthy information. We really appreciate the time and effort you take to educate people who may never purchase from you. You are just offering a needed service out of goodness. Thanks. BTW; Phil-Billy is the only part of your videos, that I don't love. But then, I was never a fan of The Three Stooges either. I do love that you sent me the Million $ Gospel of John with my first order. Maybe Phil-Billy would be just as funny, if he'd watch his language ❓

[@madmaster3145]

What is your opinion on bioactive habitats for bearded dragons? I would like my future dragon tank to be green with living plants and a realistic looking source of water.

[@stephanies9689]

Bearded dragons need humidity between 30 and 40%, any more and they start getting respiratory issues. If you want standing water, get a turtle; they love that, a beardie probably won't.

[@JenniferVian-e2r]

I had a very scared dragon who I rescued from a very abusive situation couldn't touch her for several months after I had brought her home or she would bite you. In my case, I already had other dragons and I had a very confident another female who be scared, not aggressive but scared abused dragon would watch as I interacted with and I'll let this happen on purpose because ugh dragons do learn from watching each other. The fours, several weeks and so that she could see that I wasn't going to hurt, I wouldn't hurt the other dragon. And it did help to let them buddy around together outside of the enclosure, and eventually the 2 became such good friends that now they prefer being in the same occlosure, having the more confident dragging around, helped the scared dragon. And after several months and lots of Patience as well as therefore, while if I put my hand in the cage, I would only do so if I had food in it so she started associating my hand with yummy bugs, and not then i'm going to grab her and throw against the wall with she had unfortunately, had happened to her in her previous home now she's one of the most loving bearded dragons I have. She absolutely loves being with humans and on our shoulders. But it's going to take lots of time and patience, if you've got a scared dragon, that's scared like I did

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That's amazing! Patience is key when dealing with dragons!

[@Dsmwarrior1996]

I feel special, when I got home with my beardie, I went to put him in his tank and decided to "pour" him out of the container from the pet store into my hand, and he laid there and closed his eyes like he was falling asleep, I haven't seen anything resembling aggression from him in the 4-5 hours I've had him, he might just like me, he did get excited when I walked by him at the pet store, I wasn't even planning on buying one, I was there for flea spray and joint medicine for my senior dog and walked out with a bearded dragon and everything I needed to start out 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 along with the other stuff I was there for of course, now I need to come up with a name for him 🤔

[@aWestSideMom]

What’s the best way to clean your beardie’s tank

[@nicolenevarez8722]

Hi aside from dragons being housed together. How can you get two dragons more so male, male to be in separate enclosures, but even though they are not housed together ...will bonding them everyday together outside of their enclosures ever be safe or possible ?

[@emilyernst3288]

How to train your dragon 😂😂

[@lylab5]

How do I get my bearded dragon adapted to other places other then his tank

[@tore2737]

Does the same stuff apply if the dragon is trying to escape rather than being defensive?

[@eloceventing]

My bearded dragon is as healthy as can be but there's one problem, he seems to be afraid of heights. Every time I pick him up he swings his tail in a circle, flattens out and spreads his legs. But when he's on my shoulder he's completely fine. He only does that when I pick him up with my hand. It doesn't matter how close to the ground he is, he always does that. He has a good relationship with me I just don't think he trusts me picking him up even though I've never dropped him. I don't know how to fix this, can someone please tell me?

[@MrFatbag]

I know this an old post but my beardy has always done the same thing and no matter what I do he freaks out.

[@isacvalette8623]

I got a question: won't it freeze on the night when the lights go out?

[@amiwaifu3051]

Do i need to use vitamin supplements for a bearded dragon? If so how much do i need to use?

[@trinityturner7188]

Amaris Wilson calcium, and d3. You can purchase calcium powder from pet places & d3 comes from UVB lighting (one of the two lightning’s they need)

[@hellseeker-inc9756]

@@trinityturner7188 @ kinda want to tag along with the vitamin question, i am new as well. I got the powder and the instructions are meh. It just says put crickets in a bag with some powder and shake it. Now they look like powdered donuts. And then i tried to grab em out to put in the tank for my dragon and had pwder falling off my fingers. Plus they jumped in his water dish so i had to save the dumb crickets from drowning. I now know to take the dish out. But still a bit unclear on sugar coating the crickets with the vitamin powder. Also if i switch to just meal worms like 1 of his videos recommends do i coat the mealworms instead? Its my first day and the crickets LITERALLY WERE stright up white when i dropped em in the dragons tank. I know powder falls off as they move around the tank so i am not sure if i over did it or not. Sorry i just dont want to make my new buddy sick cuz im a putz😕

[@amydaniels740]

My juvenile beared dragon lose use of his hind legs.he is strating to use them kinda.anything i can do at home to help him in anyway?what caused this?

[@junesmom82]

Someone told me that any kind of bug that has freshly consumed oranges are toxic to dragons. I've been feeding my dragon orange fed bugs. Should I stop feeding the bugs oranges or is the group I heard this from wrong about this? Thanks for your time.

[@noeffort5383]

What you can do is gut feed any of the insects oranges as long as 48hours before feeding feed them something like carrots, it will make them same to consume for the bearded. Good luck

[@hannaheschl5668]

How do i get my bearded baby dragon to eat vegetables? I put them into the cage but he never wants to eat just a little bite of it.

[@o.a.osolutions2535]

My beardie isn't pooping and I don't know what to do. She's 6 months old and hasn't shed in over 2 months

[@johnbrazell2433]

I know that this is a topic that has been hashed rehashed and then asked again, but... I have a bearded dragon and a Russian tortoise and there is so much conflicting information out there as to what vegetables they can and cannot eat for various reasons. It seems that there are the obvious things to avoid such as onions and lettuces of different types but other than that everything seems to be up for grabs. For example doing my research on some sites they say it is okay to feed spinach and others say no some say it's okay to feed broccoli or cabbage others say no. Some say beet greens are great others say no they are dangerous . This whole oxalates thing has me confused. I would request a video on this specific topic of what you can feed and should not feed bearded dragon or Russian tortoises. I trust in your experience and your information that's the reason I am asking you to to make a video on this topic. Thank you and I will be watching.

[@stephaniedavis2243]

Can I use a heat rock for my bearded dragon.

[@Aroundtheworld-ew6rx]

So I clean the tank by cotton balls and what solution?

[@jeannettecross7812]

Mine will only eat like 1 or 2 meal worms in one sitting. Is this too little, we tried crickets and he still would only eat one maybe 2.

[@Raineboots622]

My bearded dragon "licks" me and my clothes. From day 2 of having him, he's always kinda acted like this. He is always looking for attention from me. I noticed he doesn't act this way with other people such as other members of my family. He also poops on me sometimes. He does poop in his enclosure so it's not like he's refusing to go in his enclosure. Does this behavior mean that my bearded dragon is comfortable with me?

[@loganjaco2811]

How often do I bathe my baby bearded dragon

[@OneLove92626]

If anyone can help me out how many super worms should you feed a adult bearded dragon and how often?

[@stephanies9689]

Like he said, use your common sense. If they don't eat it all, eat and vomit, or gets kinda fat, reduce the number of worms next time. If they're losing weight (scales that measure in grams are all over Amazon) then offer more. An adult should be eating more like 20-30% bugs and 70-80% vegetables, so really focus on offering a variety of tasty plants.

[@elliot9310]

[@dbell9389]

😂😭 the ending

[@deltonprice1773]

I love the Philbilly skit, but on a serious note, I bet this was at least somewhat based on reality. I used to work at a mom and pop petstore. People would come in and see an animal and the first thing you would hear is, "Well BIGBOXPETSTORE has 'em for cheaper..." And after wasting our time answering their questions they would leave and some of the real cheap asses would go buy from BIGBOXPETSTORE. Then these same people would have the gall to come back asking us to help them with an animal that they didn't even purchase from us and get MAD if we didn't answer their questions or told them to go back to the store they bought it from. These people are parasites. They want all of your time and knowledge but give nothing in return. And they think they are ENTITLED to the same care that we would give to our actual customers.

[@Depresso_Espresso_420]

You guys are in the herp hobby yet you sell snake skin products?

[@ColdBloodCreations]

That's right! But you've probably got the wrong idea... ALL of our products are made from animals that died naturally. We do not believe in killing animals for their skins. We are involved in the herp hobby, as you said, and we know plenty of breeders. Unfortunately, reptiles do not live forever. When said breeders (or sometimes pet owners) have an animal that dies, rather than throwing its body in a dump somewhere, they bring the deceased animal to us so we can preserve its beauty.
