Is A Bearded Dragon The Right Pet For You?

[@bradyayotte3681]

Just to let u know he wasn't waiving he was letting u know that your the boss that he doesn't want to fight. That's what they do in the wild to let each other know who is in charge

[@Zaxtor99]

How cool is that? Thanks for that comment and feedback, very interesting! :-)

[@lakeishacollins2697]

I'm getting a beardie for Christmas and I've done soo much research and I think it's easier to have a seperate tub for feeding just a Rubbermaid tub or something and feed them live bugs in there. Hope this helps anyone.

[@sawyer8242]

Lakeisha Collins it's great you've done your research :)

[@evertonfanjuan9212]

That's exactly what I'm going to do when I get mine!!! I've been wanting a beardy for about 2 years now and I might get it this month, so I basically have 2 years of research

[@kerime.7861]

"he does a dance" *shows a beardie trying to escape his glass terrarium*

[@yesyes1299]

Glass surfing

[@BrodieBr0]

Awwwwwwwww Their submission wave is so cute. haha

[@ReginaFilangy]

I wish people would stop saying they don't take much to care for. That makes people think you can throw them in a tank and call it day.

[@19jenh82]

I have 2 dragons. 2 years and 3 months. no way I spend that much a month on food. order online, never use pet stores.

[@ashrobat]

19jenh82 What site do you order from?

[@oren8699]

Why not pet stores? I don't buy animals from chain petstore. Infact I don't have any chain petstore a where live. Only got a awesome petstore takes amazing care there pets, sadly keeps Betta in little jars :(

[@chrisjabre]

Hey Zaxtor - Thanks for this video - very very helpful

[@cristinekulkowsky9654]

Your drain really has a personality.

[@katerynafernandez5803]

Awesome video! Wishing you & ur beardie well!;)

[@kyatisback12]

500$ a month? I've never fed that much insects. But nice documentary!

[@yesyes1299]

Probably on dubia roaches?

[@Frozenman1223]

love little buddy videos r great

[@copyhard760]

I liked the video, very informative. I will check out the website as well.

[@Zuxeh]

Great video man !

[@nubanddub696]

Thank you for the help!!

[@Z5Z5Z5]

zaxtor99 Now that i think about it i was looking up other reptiles and i decided to watch this video and i wasnt so interested but after this video i became more interested in bearded dragons

[@Z5Z5Z5]

plus your beardie looks like he wants to have a career in theater :3

[@chrishale1345]

I use Zoo med lighting :) it’s one of the BEST brands, and it lasts a long time!

[@abieentwhistle6705]

I'm getting my bearded dragon this month and that was the site I went to it is amazing 😉

[@carolynwittman3901]

I went right to the website after watching

[@danielledelgado3460]

You have really helped me! And though I am an adult. I have no doubts about MY ability to care for hopefully a future beardie. Who takes care of your baby when you go out of town? This is a huge concern for me.

[@mikeehrmantraut6061]

Also how would you see him dancing if you are not same room as him?

[@TheMissAlira]

I did this mistake and did not approximate how much bugs will cost. When i spent 300 $ per 3 weeks I understood that I need to do something quick and I started to buy insects in bulk and got a big plastic container.

[@NinaAm]

I got a juvenile beardy, she has bitten me twice. Once when i stopped her from over a counter top. Then once when she tried to make an escape attempt in the garden. While she is young, i don't have a heat lamp, but she is in a building that is affected by the weather. Our summers are extremely hot. I have actually seen her gape because she was over heating. She enjoys going inside to AC during our lunch break with us.

[@breebree218]

Nina there is NO substitute for lamps. You absolutely have to have them.

[@NinaAm]

Breanna Fowler She has always had a UVB light, just going to say that now. Also that comment was probably close to 2 months old, I got a heat lamp several weeks ago. However, at the moment I only use the heat lamp when it gets a little cool, because I've had her show signs of overheating. Having both the outside temp affect the building *which inside it can get high 80, low-mid 90s and mid to high 90s still outside* That being said, i understand where you are coming from and i understand the worries behind it. Going through something similar with a friend who litterally just got her baby. However, temperatures are something I am paranoid about. I always make sure she is in the appropriate temperatures. Even getting close to either end of temperature (yes, she has nearly overheated several times during the summer. Thats' why she liked comong inside to an actual A.C.ed building.) That being said, she does have both lights, UVB and heat. I'm sorry I worried, made you concerned, or made you upset.

[@coachomri5468]

HEY ZAXTOR!! sup im just about to get 1 WEEK OLD bearded dragon, first, is it a good idea? second, Ive built an 108 gallon tank for it coz i dont wanna buy several terrariums for it when it grows ( you know what I mean ) so to sum up is it gonna be okay or should i put some kind of "wall" in it to make a smaller "room". and one last Q, the petshop owner said a box ( in a size of a homus box lol ) full of smaller insects than the eyes of the BD costs around 12$

[@roniberg9998]

I noticed that as Rocky got older, his terrarium had vegitation in it. Was it real/live? Is that recommended? I've never seen that before; I've only seen the log and water dish and feeding dish.

[@bratatouille]

An enclosure with just food, water and a log is not sufficient. They will get bored and stressed.

[@coachomri5468]

hi! my tanks is pretty big and its cold in my house around 65 f all the time I have thought about gettin 2 ceramic lamps : the exoterra PT2048 and the PT2047 my question is can I just get one and it will cover the whole tank or should I get 2? thanks for your answers.

[@Zaxtor99]

+Omri Jaacov - I'd get just one basking light and try to get one side of your tank 96 to 105F. The other side can and should be cooler, and 65F is fine if that's as low as it ever gets.

[@coachomri5468]

thank you so much, I have just checked and it unfotenaltelly dropped to 62 is it still okay? i.imgur.com/3zHaEdL.png heres a my tank plan

[@deanhughes6850]

Thank you so much for your videos , I'm just in the process of buying a bearded dragon as I type from a seller who can no longer look after him ... I will contact you if ok ..if I have any worries .. Huge thanks ,,Dean

[@genieofhams6219]

How fast do you say beardies grow. I want to know how long I will have with my little man, Arrow, as his little tiny self.

[@Zaxtor99]

Rocky went from a tiny baby to a full grown adult in about 8 months, hope that helps! :-0

[@genieofhams6219]

Thanks so much!

[@stickyrice4484]

I have a zilla UVB light on a normal tank and this video scares me

[@skitideru3753]

how big aqarium do you need ??? for bearded dragon adult/baby

[@19jenh82]

Johannes Hiironen Thyr , 40.gallon wide or bigger.

[@jayholtzclaw2892]

great video

[@heavenmartin9990]

If I get a little baby should I immediately start out with a big tank?

[@ashrobat]

Heaven martin yes

[@evamh]

Heaven martin ya that's what I did

[@mikeehrmantraut6061]

Can you give them flies?

[@LightWolfAMVS]

can bearded dragons know their name though

[@kittenmitten6454]

Can I buy a night heat lamp. Like the bulb. Or should I not do that?

[@Zaxtor99]

+kitten mitten64 - You don't want any heat going at night unless the temperature in your house is below 65F. Beardies sleep better at cooler temperatures, just like the Australian deserts get cooler at night.

[@skyejohnson9550]

Hi zaxtor I might get a bearded dragon in maybe around 15 days, anyways what type of kit would u suggest ( the kit that comes with everything u need ) I really need to know because I don't want my bearded dragon to die!!! Please respond!!! Btw the age of the bearded dragon is 1 and a half. -thanks for your time.

OK, I know it's late, but Zoo Med Reptihabitat is a good choice! It actually has good stuff. 👏🏼

LightningPanda try putting superworms inside a bowl or bottle cap.

[@lucasmedina6321]

Oh no I only have a 40 gallon

[@jordenadams4257]

Hey Zaxtor99 what is the proper size of a tank for a beardie that is about 9 weeks old?

[@Zaxtor99]

+Jorden adams - Hey Jorden, I'd say anywhere between a 20 to 40 gallon terrarium, but by the time your baby is an adult within about 9 months, you'd want to upgrade to a 60 gallon or bigger preferably. A 40 gallon would work if you had to for an adult, but preferably bigger by that time. Great question and thanks for your comment & question.

[@splash5322]

They eat 20,000 crickets a month?

[@ashrobat]

splash No

[@jackto1431]

I need help my bearded dragon won't eat.. it only eats a little bit but I have to force feed it. And I got it from petco. I have everything it needs, help me

[@sawyer8242]

jack to if it has the correct temps, setup, and substrate, and if it's a baby, ASSIST feed. I did that to mine and he is eating now.

[@evamh]

jack to might be impacted

[@artemchingaev465]

I am a new bearded dragon owner and I found crickets online for $20 for 1,000 also your bearded dragon is so fat are they supposed to look like baloons

[@jullianlejune7575]

what do you recommend leopard gecko or bearded dragon

[@coachomri5468]

LG is cheaper , smaller tank cheaper to feed and less effort needed no uvb uva but on the other hand a BD is bigger and looks alot more impressive if you ask me

[@HyperRegan]

My mum is not letting me get one 😖

[@xtxlandon9659]

My mom said I can get a beardie but I think she might change when she is spending 200 dollars a month what shood I do?

[@19jenh82]

x Funcannuk x order online, not a pet store. I own 2 dragons and never spend more than $40 a month.

[@xtxlandon9659]

19jenh82 I got one but thanks anyway

[@gradyrigby2851]

I own one beared dragon and he cost $50 to feed per month. That includes daily crickets, changing his salad bowl daily(very fine diced collard greens, carrots, and sweet red bell pepper), and his calcium/multi vitamin supplement. I purchase my crickets (one week supply) and supplment(one container of the supplement last about a month it is fluckers brand) from a local pet store.

[@dnaastyy]

This is bias because you didn't know a thing about bearded dragons when you got one

[@blueballsexotics8596]

way over pricing a baby bierdies live food. no way that mutch money a month. thats non sence

[@TheMissAlira]

Francisco Garcia90 not really my baby beardy eating 50 insects a day. I prefer roaches and my local reptile store sells 5 small roaches for 1$. Now count 10$ a day. 70$ a week and 280$ a month. + treats for beardy it can cost 300.

Well that q was a long time ago but I found a breeder who agreed to sell me a baby anyway I a beardie for like two years now i adopted hik when he was two months old
