[@thatbeechick]

Thank you for explaining the calcium sand issue! In Australia we are encouraged by breeders to use play sand, but it should be noted that this is very different to the play sand found overseas and is a rounded shape. - I have done personal photo comparisions with this stuff and other PetTubers in the states, our play sand is completely different. I'm with you on the paper towel stuff, but for a different reason - I've had my beardie on paper towel and on AU play sand (again don't use the play sand from the US, it's different) and I found her much more enriched by the play sand. In Australia we also feed Wood Roaches as a Beardie staple, which are much better than crickets for them, or mealworms - than can cause impaction due to chitin in their coating. So if you're in AU and can't find dubia roaches - buy some wood roaches (or woodies)! I will eventually do an Aussie video on all of this! Thanks for the Video! Animalogic is great too - I've been watching her forever, she's an amazing artist!

[@WickedWildlife]

Thank you for pointing out the difference with calcium sand and genuine dessert sand Here in Australia Sand has always been the go to substrate (real desert sand) and impaction issues are almost unheard of

[@jamesgladman314]

Wicked Wildlife I was always led to believe they don’t live on sand in the wild but hardened clay?

[@WickedWildlife]

James Gladman I hear this a lot, generally on social media from people over seas. I personally live in the natural range of the Eastern Bearded Dragon, and about 1.5hours drive away from where we start fining central beardies (the ones common as pets world wide) and loose sandy soil interspersed with rocky outcrops of open bushland makes up the vast majority of their habitat

[@Emzotic]

Wicked Wildlife I saw wild Beardies on that gorgeous natural red sand you have in the outback. I was struck by just how dark the wild beardies are! I got close to one which was on a stump in a camels paddock, and it was amazing to see how fast it was running over the sand! Much faster than any beardie I’ve seen in captivity!!

[@WickedWildlife]

Emzotic very true, you do get the odd brightly coloured one but it goes to show how much of their colour is a result of captive breeding Where in Australia did you travel?

Vet Tech intern here - saw a beardie the other day who was impacted due to his owners trying something new and putting clay in part of his enclosure. They immediately removed it when they saw him eating it but the damage was already done! Luckily he did well after fluids and an enema and passed a large chunk of the clay in hospital! ❤

[@Emzotic]

Elle's Reptiles Thank you!!!

[@ninvusoogoar6098]

for a substrate, i use a nonporous mat in my 4x2x2 enclosure that also has little grooves that are slightly elevated so he has the ability to grip it while he moves around. i 100% recommend using a mat like that because it make's cleaning a breeze! i just go outside and use the hot water hose and clean any poops ive missed if i am at work which also allows me to sanitize everything.

[@nightinggale6470]

I strongly recommend switching to soil, or half soil half textured tile. Soil gives them digging enrichment, which is extremely beneficial for them.

[@fionashepley478]

Sand mats aren’t a good substrate. Paper towel, non-adhesive shelf liner, or textured tile are all good solids. It’s best to offer digging enrichment with reptisoil, organic top soil, or a bioactive substrate. You could do full loose, half and half, or full solid with a dig box

We went to Home Depot and got two sets of tile (like for the bathroom) for my berdie, he has a 50 gallon tank and the tiles are SO easy to clean! So much easier than his old carpet.

[@fionashepley478]

Keep in mind that the bare minimum for an adult bearded dragon is 75 gallons, and bigger is better. Tile is a great solid option (as long as it’s textured and not too slippery) but it’s best to offer digging enrichment with reptisoil, organic top soil, or a bioactive substrate. Half tile half soil is a good option.

[@elise1341]

Good point, but I think you picking a few dandelions isn't going to harm the environment for bees.. if you mow your lawn & there are dandelions, the get chopped off & grow back in a matter of days. Better than people who spray their lawns with poisons, killing the weeds & all the little critters living in the soil. I will pick all the dandelions I want.. my birds love them!

Thanks for reminding me of him. ❤ he will be greatly missed. And to everyone who owns / wants to own one, take very good care for these animals. They depend on you like a baby with his mother.

[@Jazzicorn]

Hi Em, I enjoyed the video I just have a few opinions which you probably won't see but hopefully someone out there will. I am SO glad you addressed that a 40 gallon is not big enough for a healthy adult dragon!! I know you recommended using a UVB tube, however in the video you showed a bulb and as someone who works with bearded dragons and their owners, i see many people confused over UVB/UVA, what the difference is etc. Regarding the substrate and impaction, I wish you had mentioned that impaction is 100% caused by husbandry problems, improper heat, hydration and UVB makes them unable to digest food they normally could, and in my years, and my bosses (Best Australian reptile vet) career we have seen impaction from Paper towel and food items only. Paper towel, newspaper, carpet etc are awful substrates! I have seen many bearded dragons, and other species, ingest the paper towel and die due to being unable to digest that unatural substrate. They also harbor bacteria hugely, same with a sand mat, when your dragon poo's how are you going to clean it properly? Unless you are fully replacing it weekly, I find it very unhygenic. For diet, a variety is best, not just dubia and locusts, things like earthworms, silkworms, BSFL, crickets, roaches, snails, there are soooo many different options dragons can eat. Another thing is the Calcium with D3, you should not use this if your UVB is a brand that also produces D3 already as your dragon can have too much of it and get very sick!! Also bearded dragons skin is waterproof, so saying it helps them to shed is a myth unless the skin has already lifted and started to shed it won't help. Also saying bearded dragons can get MBD from not enough calcium is true, but they can also get MBD from too much calcium or the wrong UVB. Also Bearded Dragon Owners is one of the WORST WORST WORST Facebook groups ever!! I was kicked due to just posting a photo of my dragon on a soil/sand mix because apparently it is unsafe and against their rules to have a dragon on loose NATURAL substrate... Check out Bearded Dragon Network instead which has almost 30K members and they promote educational, vet approved and researched husbandry. No "blankets and pillows and doll beds".

[@WimberieGray]

Thanks so much for this post! I was in the Bearded Dragon Owners Facebook group and thought it was quite odd that they didnt support natural substrates or habitats. I'll check out the Bearded Dragon Network you recommended. :)

[@donniedial3014]

We have regular playground sand that was baked to kill germs, but we only have it on the hot basking area. We use tiles on everywhere else. We don't feed him on the sand to help him not eat it, and we haven't had him deal with impaction or eat the sand. We have had him get constipated, but washing him helped. Sand wasn't the problem tho.

[@shayden9733]

i put my heat in the middle, and i have three levels of basking . theres the top, where he can be hot, in the middle, where its warm, and the bottom, where its cold. i always turn the light off at night, but i use a ceramic heater.

[@Emzotic]

Lalah Thank you!! Welcome!

[@greekfire2012]

3 small things to mention. 1. If your heat is hot enough for your beardie you wont have issues with sand but I definitely agree that it isnt the best thing for them especially young or juvenile beardeds. 2. Research has been done and shows that red lights can make a bearded dragon go blind since they can see the red light plus they dont need night heat being a desert species anyways. 3. Never feed mealworms to an adult bearded dragon. Ever. Petsmart was sued for telling someone to feed their bearded mealworms. That beardie died because the mealworm chewed through its stomach. Superworms are ok because they are big enough that beardeds have to chew them up really well. Otherwise I love this video. Very educational and informative.

I purchased a baby bearded a few years ago and had THE BEST time setting up its habitat, buying all the best foods, and watching him thrive. I have a rescue crested and same thing, setting up his vivarium and watching his personality develop is such an awesome feeling. I get frustrated when I see people go overboard with the, "They aren't social creatures, don't handle them, and if you do only for a few minutes a day," yada, yada, yada. While this is true for some reptiles, mine personally would be SO pissed if I didnt let them out to explore at least once a day. Toothless (the bearded) was my first lizard ever and they are such awesome companions! Also Arcadia is freaking fantastic! I get a lot of my stuff from Pangea, love those guys!

Nikki Folster I’m so happy he’s doing better

Bearded dragons are honestly the best. I rescued one that was surrender to my local petstore. His back legs are completely lame due to past issues with impaction and I believe he may be a bit stunted as well. But he is a big eater and a healthy pooper now and loves to fall asleep in my lap while we watch tv after I get home from work.

me and my boyfriend became bearded dragon parents in January! His name is Winter and he's the cutest little bean in the world. Always love learning new things for my little man.

Low key for maybe 1/2 the vid I was like “why did she get full body tattoos?” 😂 love the outfit but I was so confused 😝

Aahahhahaah

Its so normal now for ppl to be 1 giant walking tattoo and i dislike it

[@vanellopescorner8882]

I'm happy for how well Bad Idea is doing, and I'm happy that you are taking such good care of him!

[@rayaa2036]

my brother found his bearded dragon and ever since he started living with him, he slowly stopped moving around as much. my brother doesnt give him enough heat as he needs and rarely feeds him. and the poor lizard looks so sad everytime i see him. i hope i can convince my parents to give him to someone who can actually take care of him or to take him to the vet :(

[@simplyjaceface6050]

Awww, I know I’m late to your comment but ask your parents

[@hannahtheartist5519]

I haven’t gotten my bearded dragon yet, but yesterday I put a deposit on one!! I’m getting him from a reptile store called scales and tails. It’s very far away from me but it’s all we could find. All the baby’s of the bunch were put together, and seemed nice and healthy.

Playsand mixed with plain topsoil is the absolute best impact ion wont happen if you have proper ambient and basking temps

[@rileytheimpaler9641]

Still stay away from calcium sand

You seem to have so many animals, that you're taking care of. They basically make you a Disney Princess ^^

Watched Animalogic she recommended Emzotic, need to know more about our bearded dragon, love both channels and thank you!!!🙏👌🦎❣️

[@nono-mk3mx]

Hey Em this is a very late commet and im sorry im late :( but do you think you could do a red eared slider care video,im a average res kepper but many(not all) people dont know what there getting into and think they can live in a 10 gallon tank so i think a res video would be helpful.💓

[@AshtonLeo]

Cocofluff47 :D gosh I completely agree! I work at a pet store that takes in surrenders and we get soooo many aquatic turtles 😞 then it takes a bit to find someone who is willing to have a minimum of a 75 gallon tank

[@nono-mk3mx]

@@AshtonLeo yes,i wish more people knew how big of a tank a turtles needs, it necessitys to be healthy,there food and other thing.

I watched this video before and let me tell you as a new mother of a baby beard dragon. This video is so helpful. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and making this extremely easy for me!❤

[@unilionjoy]

"some people just don't care about the environment." can't agree with you more. ww

[@SeventhGate008]

It’s so great seeing content like this. I had a beaded dragon a long time ago and after watching this I can confirm I did not take care of them the way they needed to be. I had no idea about the sand, and I was told all they needed was crickets and lettuce which Is not the case! I think with education like this younger me would’ve done a better job so I hope it’s the same for all of the new or old beaded dragon owners out there! This is excellent content thank you for making this. Also R.I.P Indy she was a great lizard who lived for 7 years.

[@karafoxx9616]

Please don’t use paper towel, although it is safe for the animal single use items only add to the problem of landfills and green house gasses.

[@KillerofGods]

Soooo... How is any other reptile bedding not single use?

[@maggie1000]

John Doe For bearded dragons some people use things like tiles which you can clean as nothing really sticks to it. Other substrates like sand and certain dirt type substrates can actually be recycled (in a way). Not just for reptiles too. Or sometimes you can use recycle material like newspapers to make your own substrate sometimes

[@KillerofGods]

@@maggie1000 ah cool to know.i don't use any of that stuff for snakes, so cool to know there are options with lizards.

[@19jenh82]

@@KillerofGods do not use any loose substrates.

[@MsSuperconductor]

My beardie ate paper towel and had to get an enema to remove it. Paper towels are not good to keep in the beardie enclosure.

I had a bearded dragon as a class pet in 2nd grade ( four years ago) she was 2 when I was in second grade and she was six this year. Kept in a 20 gallon tank, and fed mainly meal worms sadly she died before this video came out or else I would definitely show it to my old teacher(we are close family friends). Keep up the great work ❤️
