This woman is very knowledgeable and experienced, when it comes to raising and caring for bearded dragons. Everyone should watch this video before buying a bearded dragon. This was a very informative video. I love your content, and keep up the great work!!!
My sons beardie must be special. He loves to come out when the kids are full tilt crazy. Anytime my kids are playing loud and crazy he scratches at the door to come out and when hes out he sits on my hand and head bobs to the kids. No black beard or anything just sits and bobs. Lol.
One day when I have the proper space I will be able to care for a beardie. Yours are gorgeous and healthy! I will definitely keep your info on file. Such a wealth of knowledge!!!❤ Thank you Dave for featuring this awesome lady! I love your videos. Also, you should mess with Adam more!😆
As an Australian, I mostly approve of these keeping methods. I love how most Americans over complicate things, and lecture us Aussies how to keep them. But let me tell you what Beardies live on in the wild, as someone who has them running around in their backyard. This may surprise you, but Beardies don't naturally live on newspaper and tiles. They live on sand, soil, mulch, leaf litter, ect. Natural loose substrates. In regards to humidity, Florida is fine. In many parts of Australia the humidity in the wet season can be damn oppressive, and the Beardies love it. It's the wet and cold, and poor drainage that does them in. They actually often disappear during the dry season. Hope this helps. Don't listen to the keyboard warriors who don't see the sunlight for weeks at a time.
This isn't just an american thing, i've had people from northern eu give their own two cents. Reddit and Facebook groups seem to just fester this mob mentality a lot. A lot of the time, it's just people who live on drama, not actually about the "right way" to care for beardies.
I love it when you go to visit that breeder, I like the way they have it, so natural with good care, the quality of the specimens is impressive, you can see that the lady is very friendly.
Heather has a 5 star rating on Morph market for a good reason. Her attention to detail from care to shipping her bearded dragons out to her clients is second to none. Yes, we're a client. My wife and I bought Rebel (red bearded dragon) from her a year and half ago. We actually have two but we got Toothless before we knew Heather from watching Dave's channel. Both have their separate 4x2x2 terrariums. They're part of our family now. Thank you Heather for what you do for the hobby.
Lost my beardie boy this year he was 14….Brings me joy to see them kept so well. They hold a special place in my heart. Decided to mend the broken heart with an Ackie baby reptiles are the best.
We have an amazing red translucent female bearded dragon from Fairytale Dragons. Got it from Daytona show 2022. It's super red and very healthy couldn't be happier. Dav is now a Bucees boy!!
This is a so educational video. I hope lots of beardie’s owners watch this even though they knew how to care. It’ll be a great opportunity to reconfirm the setup of the enclosure is really good for the bearedie or not.
Those enclosures are brilliant for someplace like Florida. Up north here, not so much except perhaps during the summer months. I’m guessing there’s some way for water to drain out from the bottom (fine, coated hardware cloth or holes?) Otherwise those tubs would quickly become inundated during Florida’s rainy season. The pale (albino? leucitic?) baby dragon was amazing. Was hoping some of the many different color morphs they’ve developed were shown but more importantly she thoroughly explained their captive husbandry. There is so much conflicting-and-mis information online about, well... basically everything it’s good to hear it straight from an expert! My only concern would be the possibility of sand causing an impaction in the digestive system if too much was ingested during mealtime.
I'm originating to buy a Dragon for the last 2 months. I've been reading and watching youtube for hours and hours. Got pulled off and on in the process, mainly because of conflicted types of advise. this video answered a billion questions in only 15 minutes. And I feel I'm ready to start building the enclosure. Thank you so much!
How important is it that the veggies are organic or not? I do not have a beardy yet (planning to get my first one soon) but I’ve got feeders for my leos and I always buy organic for them; would this be best practice for my future beardy as well?
Great knowledge for sure. But nobody mentions what they eat in the wild. Beardies and reptiles similar to them need crunchy roaches or certain beetles as it helps them from teeth rot as they harder foods keeps them chewing more than the large morio mealworms. Longer chewing helps. I've uses Madagascan hissing roaches, and ones appropriate for ones size.
Question. I keep my bearded dragons outdoors, 6 months out of the year here in TN. I buy uvb bulbs around october when its time for them to come in. Do I need to supplement them with uv over the winter, or will heat alone work?
I’ve always heard UV exposure for 6 - 8 hours per day is important even during the 6 month (or so) indoor period. Reptiles can get MBD - metabolic bone disease without it. I also dust all my guy’s food with an all purpose vitamin powder like Reptivite. She was accurate about “gut-loading” and hydrating feeders. Pet shops usually just give feeder insects potato slices and such starchy food as a constant diet isn’t great for the animals who eat them.
I have a question, she mentioned a slate tile for a basking surface.. i just went into my reptile store & the guy adviced me stay away from slate because "it cooks the insides of the dragon" obviously i can test the temperature/heat it receiving on the surface with a thermometer gun. So my question would be can i have a slate basking spot? p.s her bearded dragons are so pure
THey are amazing good pets i have a bearded dragon got her when she was 2 months and now she almost 3 years old and we take her everywhere we go and she runs the house too..they get attach to there owner too would not trade her for the world..i live in canada too cold in the winter..and she will be heading to brumation soon thanks for this amazing video P.S We Have sand for our girl My vet say no to super worms and its a hard shell
can someone explain to me... for the blue cage, does have a drainage system when it rains? Don't bearded dragons have problems with wet sand? And don't baby bearded dragons swallow sand when they eat?
That was my question also, mostly about possible impaction issues of sand. I’m pretty sure those enclosures drain from the bottom somehow (screen bottoms, holes, etc.) If not they’d get flooded during Florida’s torrential rainy season.
I have a controversial opinion on bearded dragons because I don't think just everyone can have one just because I've seen the amount that have been badly taken care of have died been abandoned on the street and more because people couldn't take care of them properly or just didn't want them when they were bigger and I want that to change
No animal should be an impulse buy or given as a gift to someone unprepared to care for it. Sadly many ppl treat reptiles as “disposable” pets, no animal is “disposable.”
This is a common problem for every popular animal. Dogs, cats, birds, lizards... you name it. People will just buy them and have them as "display items", and get all of their info from the petsmart employee who probably couldn't even tell you where they come from without looking online first lol. We would be seeing mass amounts of other animals at shelters if they weren't already overcrowded with dogs and cats.
So....the temperature drops that FL experiences don't affect those poor dudes chilling out there? I guess no more than it would wild ones, but, it makes me nervous....
They can tolerate the temps down in Florida, but when you go north it's just too cold. Some people can manage beardies pretty well outside, and for some it's just not possible, be it weather, area, or personal preference.

Ah yes just because your an Australian you know all about them lmao, that's like saying "As an Nigerian I best know to pick out the best watermelons"

Great information thanks

Perfect video

As always a great video love 4 feet reptiles

I love bearded dragon videos 😊 heck I love bearded dragons 😁💚✌🏼
How do I buy my next Dragon from FairyTail Dragons?!?!
Great video!
#RattleOn
Isn't it too humid to keep beardies outside in FL?
How do you make sure they’re getting enough water with store bought mealworms?
Give the mealworms apples, zucchini, leafy greens, etc for a couple days before feeding them.
First comment!!! Yeah
Awesome!
i bet they love that yummy natural UVB
