After losing one Beardie after purchasing through petsmart, this channel has been keeping my second beardie (from local store) much healthier and more active! Thanks for the vids!
Sorry for your loss but I’m glad your second beardie is doing great!
We going through the same situation pretty much. I’m just still getting the second one. Sorry for your loss man
I’m sorry for your loss I hope the second one is helping you feel better
I can realate somewhat considering I haven’t been able to find my snake for a long time and I’m starting to give up
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Yo, I loved this video lol. So, I have a question, I bought the Reptizoo UVB fixture, but the bulb broke, and I replaced it with an Arcadia, would that work?
Thank you for the time to spent researching and making the list you have really appreciate it. I can tell this is something you really love I have two Dragons of my own one baby and the other a year. So great to be better informed on care taking tips to ensure a healthy life
Thank you for the kind words. Happy to help
Thank you for the videos! You always provide such helpful information. Also, appreciate you posting recommended products on Amazon so I know I am getting the right items for my baby bearded dragon!
Thank you very much! Happy to help

I watched your videos so many times before getting a bearded dragon now my setup is the best for my bearded dragon
Let’s go!!! Awesome!
Thanks for the help and insight.
Happy to help!
Just picked up a red breaded last night and was watching to get what I need thank you life saver
Happy to help
This video was super helpful for me getting my first dragon. My coworker is looking to get one herself and I’ll definitely be sending her over here, appreciate all the super informative videos!
What made my day was the Pip Boy box casually sitting on the shelf.
tank you for this video, saving up for a setup soon
Happy to help
My bearded dragon gets here tomorrow. Thank you for your videos bro!
Congratulations 🎊 happy to help
I work at a Petstore and your videos have been great research for not only my work with informing customers when they come to buy a Beardie, but also when I get myself a Beardie. Thank you for the very informative videos
You know this man knows his sheit and is a man of class when you see the pip boy in the back 😂
Thanks for all the information! My girlfriend like them but I know nothing but this is helping as your videos always do!
I’m happy to help! Also you know it. I live in the wasteland. Haha
Great vid helped a lot thanks👍
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for the video!
No problem!
dude is my go to source for bearded dragon husbandry!
That means a lot thank you!
Thanks for the great information..
No problem!
Love the video!! Was looking to up my care and this helped and I do t mean to criticize, I just figured I’d throw this out there, I know fruit isn’t the greatest for beardies but my sweet girl loves to have strawberries as a treat every once in awhile and she has a normal poop and she seems perfectly healthy I’ve had her for almost three years now and she’s a real g
Thank you so much! Fruit is ok as a very rare treat. Just high in sugar is all.
I'm really enjoying your videos and have been incredibly informative. I have a new bearded dragon and so happy these videos are coming out now. Do you have any experience with blue tongue skinks as well? Would love a care guide for them too!
Thank you so much I’m glad you enjoyed them. I do plant to someday make some blue tongue skink videos in the future as well!
These videos are top-notch. Love the diagram you made showing the size of bug compared to the dragon.
I would really love to hear your care guide points on crested geckos if you were to make a video on that.
Wishing you a great day! Thank you for the quailty content 🎉
Thank you so much! Yes they are coming out very soon!
i really enjoy your care guides regardless of what species it is. been looking into Ball Pythons and seen your yt short posted a few months ago. will you be getting more in depth in the future? can never not have enough guides on proper care :)
Thank you so much! Yes I’m working on multiple ball python videos as we speak!
I got Zilla slimline desert fixture 50 uvb but changed the light bulb to uvb 10.0
Love your videos! Def helped us set things up for the Rankins drag we picked up at a local Herp Expo! Everything I’ve read says their care and behavior is same as their larger cousins but was wondering if you had any other insight or random info?
Thank you so much! Yes they are from the same area as beardies so care is very similar!
Thank you very much for this info I got. A beard dragon and did not no how to take care of it when I scrolled through the vid I started to watch now i know how to take care of them now.
Happy to help!
Literally crying I feel like a bad mom 🤧
I just got a bearded dragon few weeks ago and I got so much info from you you most definitely have the goods and as a Cherokee nation member out in California love seeing a Native from Oklahoma dropping the knowledge. Keep it up.
Appreciate you lots! Yeah man natives coming up!
Lumbee tribe member here from North Carolina.glad I found this channel
Love the videos, don't have a desire to own a bearded dragon but if I ever do I know where to come
Appreciate you!
I had NO idea about the coil UVB bulbs! I got my beardie last weekend, going to be going to petsmart tomorrow to get the T5 HO!
Happy to help!
Bro you was so helpful
Thank you happy to help
Thx so much
Happy to help!
I haven't seen or heard much of dental care in beardies in all of my 3+years of research. I lost my 2 year old beardie due to (what I have learned, their teeth & jaw are one piece, not separated) and she had a massive buildup of tartar, which hurt her, in addition, she had a hard lump on her jaw that the vet suspected was cancer. I need these care guides to include dental care (feeding raw squash and hard veggies to clean their teeth). I ended up syringe feeding her for weeks and "brushing" her teeth with a cotton swab with special tooth cleaner from the vet. We had hoped to save her, but after 2 weeks of treatment, she didn't resume eating on her own and it was best to put her down. She did everything else normal (poop, etc.) she just wouldn't eat on her own. As for the teeth & jaw, as one, I had a baby that had her teeth/jaw disconnected and the vet told me it was hereditary (or a birth defect). I also syringe fed her chicken baby food & Pedialyte until I noticed her teeth/jaw loose and just hanging there. I was devastated, she was my 1st beardie. Anyhow, if you would try to do a video on dental care, I would appreciate it. I had to learn the hard way and I did get another beardie and have changed things WAY better (I hope). I appreciate you reading & commenting on, well, comments! 🥰
Sorry that happened to you yes in the future will talk about bearded dragon teeth
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I would greatly appreciate that. I just can't find much about the topic and I wish I had, it might have made a difference. Thank you very much, it shows you really care.
I don't know how to write to you, but I wanted to send you a message with a picture (of my beardie).
Thanks!
Happy to help!
Your videos are the best we just got a bearded dragon today. I was wondering how big of a uvb light for a 75 gallon
Thank you! Depends on height of the tank. If it’s 18-24 inches. Arcadia 12% t5 24-36 inches
Fallout, beardies, sick hair, I think I’m gonna like it here. Been raising dragons for over a decade but there’s always something to learn.
Oh yeah we love fallout around here for sure!
I loved you’re video it answered so many questions but I still have one question. Are screen cage ok to used for a bearded dragon?
Sorry I forgot do I need to mist my bearded dragon for humidity and is so how often and how long
Oh my goodness this is the first video I’ve seen anyone bring up the eye bulging😂 the first time I saw mine do this I thought I wasn’t seeing her right and then I saw her doing it again up close the next day and i freaked out because I never saw the eye bulging in any of my research
Haha it is wild
Awesome video. I have a tortoise who I got at 3 months old and he just turned 5 years old. He lives like a king. I’ve been interested in bearded dragons for a long time so have finally started researching to determine if it would be a good fit for me. Your video is incredibly thorough and helpful. I took lots of screenshots. I will look through more of your videos and have subscribed. I would like to ask though, do you have an opinion on where the enclosure should be kept? For tortoises, they kind of like to be left alone. You wouldn’t want to put the enclosure in a high traffic area. Would it be the same for a beardy or would it add enrichment to their life to be in a lived in space? I live alone, so not much movement in the house, but just something I’m curious about. I’m happy to see that the UVB requirements are the same for my tortoise as it is for the bearded dragons. I also have the solar meter for measuring UV, so it was helpful to learn from your video, what reading I should aim for. Thanks again for the great video!!
Hi there. I’m just learning all about dragons. I have a 65 gallon terrarium and wondered if the 24” and watt your suggesting in this video would be good for that size tank. I also noticed you had two basking bulbs, are they 50 watt each or 100 watt each. I just want to make sure I get what I need. Thanks for your time.
i have 2 bearded dragons and a leopard gecko. my youngest beardie just died (i used to have 3) who was only 1 yr old but had a respiratory infection so im re-educating myself to make sure my older beardies stay ok🥺 im realizing i screwed up by not feeding my younger one enough.
What about the solar glow or power sun for uvb..
I’m just now getting my first bearded dragon
Congratulations 🍾
Hi!! I’m researching and filling my brain with as much information as possible before I even think about getting a beardie and you have been helping so much, I was just curious on if you keep the led light on 24/7 or just during the day, also what do I do for the heat lamp at night? I’ve heard to get a red light one for night time but I don’t know if they are safe and I’m not sure if I keep the heat lamp/ubv on 24/7 too
dont do red light was told the same the first night seen he was doing some weird stuff so i removed it and he was way better.. but honestly i turn my lights on in the morning about 7 and turn everthing off about 10 right now and the tank stays about 75 at night. here in a couple months ill switch the time to keep up with the way the sun is up and down
@@butterthystuff117 okay thank you
how frequently do you clean your bearded dragon
Is MBD something that only happens when they are young, or can they develop it when they are adults n stop growing?
What is your opinion on mercury vapor bulbs? I’m new to beardies I keep dart frogs and geckos lol but, planning on surprising hubby cause he love them
If you have a solar meter you can definitely use them. But other than that hard because uvb can be wayyy too strong at the basking spot when trying to get good temps
I live in a cold state and I was wondering if it's okay to have a 90 gallon tank to make sure I have good heat especially during winter time?
Yeah you mean like the shorter version like a 4ftx2ftx18inch tall one. That’ll be fine I know for super cold places you have to make adjustments and as long as the animal is happy that’s all that matters
We got the Dubia tank and I couldn't get enough info off your mention of the UVB bulb for it. Can you please let me know which it is?
Arcadia 12% or 14% t5 24 inch uvb kit I would mount it inside the tank as the dubias screen blocks too much. You can also use the zoo med t5 24 inch 10.0 uvb
This is a really great video, although the video kept buffering about the time you started to answer about feeding them fruits.
Sorry about that TH-cam is weird sometimes. Thank you very much!
@@ChiefSweetsUniverseYou’re welcome, I retried that section and was able to get through, thank you.
I bought the repti zoo t5 will it be ok till I get the money for the Arcadia or zoo med
It’ll get you by for now yeah but try and get a zoo med t5 10.0 t5 soon.
Can you use bioactive substrate or other sand substrate for baby or juvenile dragons or stick with paper towels/ tile/ or zen mat stuff???
Yes I use substrate as soon as my hatched babies are 1 month old
Question - my tank for my bearded dragon has humidity 50%. Taken out water bowl with no improvement. Any suggestions ?
Love your channel- getting my first baby from a trusted breeder- question: blank newspaper or Playsand/topsoil for baby’s substrate? And how do you clean the “dirt” mix properly? Can you show a video of this? You Rock!!
To start just use blank news paper or paper towels so you can make sure it’s eating & pooping properly. Once you are sure it’s pooping consistently then do a mix of play sand & dirt. I kept my beardies on paper towels for a couple months. Just because they were small and I didn’t want them to accidentally eat dirt & then get impacted.
Appreciate you a lot! Now I myself have always put my babies on playsand and top soil after 1 month old with no issues. Also yes I actually have that cleaning video lined up to hopefully get posted this month
Thank you so much!!❤
I’m new to this this may sounds dumb but does it matter if you have you uav light near your basking lights ? And if I have 20 gal tank and want to get the t5 will that be to much uav
I have had reptizoo for a long time should I upgrade or keep it
Upgrade it for sure
Why no ceramic heat emitters?
Hey!! I wanted to ask if having incense, candles, wax burner, or essential oil humidifier in the same room is ok with the bearded dragon??
How do you feel about taking you beardie outside to run around. or letting them come in and out of their terrarium? (mind ALWAYS under supervision.)
Yeah you definitely can just keep an eye on them at all times
If I were to make side walls for my dragon, do I have to use a specific spray foam or any kind of foam if I'm coating it with sand?
I prefer the pond and stone it’s the best. The regular great stuff is good.
Hi, I saw the guide says to use the Arcadia 12% for a 40 gallon tank, and a 14% for a 120 gallon. But what if you have the in between size? Our tank is going to be 48x18x18.
So do we go with the 12% or the 14%? And it shows 3 choices a 22" (24W), 34" (39W), and 46" (54W). Which bulb should I get? And should I mount it inside the tank, or set it on top? Thank you in advance!
The 12% will be perfect for that if the screen isn’t too thick. Thick screens can be a problem and if it’s thick I would get the 14% also the 22 inch is fine
So we put our Arcadia,zoomed and LED at one spot?
Yes you got it!
Hello, I just recently got a baby bearded dragon and this is my first real pet and I don't want to mess this up. I got the reptihabitat 20 gallon tank bundle and would like to know if there is anything I should know about It. Anything about the lighting would help. I don't really know if I am supposed to keep the lights on or turn them off at certain times. I would really appreciate if you could help me out with this.
Research before you buy smh if u don’t know how to do the lighting then honestly just regime it if ur undereducated
Freaking awesome
Thank you
My bearded I've had for 3 days from petsmart would it be OK to change the floor to sand/soil this soon to get away from fake grass carpet
Yeah would be totally fine to do.
Hey there! So do you have 100 watt each so a total of 200watt basking bulbs?
Yes but you really only need to get the desired temp then you’ll be good
i got my baby beardie i got at an expo a 50 gal tank. can he stay in that or is it too small? He will be coming out of there regularly everyday for handling time
Definitely want to upgrade when you can won’t be able to live in it forever
Hey just wanted to ask a question about my lights, i bought the tank you have on amazon and i got a 36 inch UBV light to go across the whole tank, and on light for basking and i hit 100-105. is it not ok that the UBV is across the whole tank?
It’ll be ok that the uvb is across the whole tank you usually want half so that way he can have shaded area but it’ll be fine as long as he has hides and cover
Awesome video brother. Love the channel. Keep it up.
1 small caveat....the "budget" 120gallon is NOT 120 gallons. If you're gonna link/suggest it to people, you should inform them that it's only 88.1 gallons
Are you measuring inside or outside? Because I don’t think any tank inside measure true 120 dimensions. All tanks usually measure outside measurements. As you see the custom reptile habitats is smaller inside by 2 inches due to the frame. Actually measuring 47x22x22 inside.
However thank you as always. It technically is 120 just small on the inside which most enclosures all fall into that as well. The new Dubia enclosures v2 ones actually get as close as any on the market though. They increased the outside size by a half inch. Which I also have link on my storefront as well as the zen habitats
Well it’s budget for a reason and still works great and is sturdy + roomy, I have one of my Beardie. I think she likes it..she’s really lazy tho 😭
I bought the budget option last year, through Wayfair during the July 4th sale. I paid $203 each & bought the stacker. As soon as they restock the cabinet, with the two enclosures & the stacker I’m going to buy another set since I have a 3rd beardie I took as a rescue that needs an upgrade soon. Anywho those budget ones are FANTASTIC. They have GLASS sliding REMOVABLE doors! Which are great for cleaning! I have no problems with my heated side & cooler side. I do need a solar meter. But my dragons are doing great.
Hi Chief just want to ask what light fixture is best to use, 5inch wide or 8 inch wide? Deep Dome or the shallow one? Thanks in advance
By the way i have 36x18x18 enclosure form New Age Pet ECOFLEX Mojave Reptile Habitat
I like the 8 inch wide ones the best however you know I do really like the dual mini dome from zoo med. I use two 75 watt bulbs to get a nice gradient.
I have a cedar log, is it ok to put it in with my bearded dragon
No don’t use cedar
Please, what's the difference between t5 and t8 hood light?
The size of the bulb but t5s produce strong uvb than t8s
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thank you! 🦎
Im currently building a custom 5x24x24 enclosure for my sons first bearded dragon. Is there a reason why you dont prefer the ceramic heat bulbs?
They don’t heat as well as regular bulbs and don’t give off light making the tank darker. I don’t like my tanks dark plus beardies love brighter tanks
Bearded dragons need a basking lamp throughout the day. The ceramic bulbs Heat the air and don’t provide a basking area for them. Ceramics can be good for snakes and other non basking Reptiles. But they shouldn’t be used as the main heating source with Bearded dragons.
I use Mercury Vapor Bulbs and have no problems!
Mercury vapor is the second best option the only problem is that the uvb is inconsistent bulb per bulb. I always recommend a solar meter when using it. That’s why I don’t recommend to new keepers just cause it’s very inconsistent but it does produce great uvb just might produce way too much or maybe to low for certain heights
I do change them out ever 6 months or so. I like them due to the fact they are a all-in-one. I have read that with tube lighting, they can't get away from it and can get too much. With MV, they can be in it and can also get away from it. I DO respect ones choice and have nothing against tube, it is just what I found and prefer. Just like I don't feed crickets because, from what I learned, they can carry disease (and gnaw at your pet at night, ick). I prefer to grow my own dubia and order mealworms, etc, from a trusted source. Bottom line here: I may choose to use MVB, but I have seen a whole lot worse!!! Thanks for your reply! Also, if you tell me to take the crickets out before bed...good luck! Her enclose is 5x3x2 with a lot of deco! No thanks! I don't know if I left a comment, so I will start a new thread, about beardie dental care. (Video suggestion).@@ChiefSweetsUniverse
@@EmzNotBroken1972the tube ones are much easier to deal with then the mercury vapor. They put out consistent UVB and with a solar meter you know exactly how much at any spot in your setup. You also only get one that no more the. 2/3s of your setup so they have 1/3 without UVB. I honestly think anyone who owns a beardie should own a solar meter. It’s the best tool I’ve bought since started getting into reptiles. Expensive but the peace of mind is worth it.
@@NerdyOutdoorVeteran It depends on your enclosure. I have had very good luck with using them, because they are what I've always used. It's like a lot of things, you use what you start with and change isn't an option because you feel what you are doing is best. Certainly I won't use coil or red lights, but some people do because that's what they know. To each their own, really.Thanks for your input.
Hi chiefsweet I was wondering if you could help me idk if my bearded dragon is dehydrated I’ve been giving her water but her belly flaps things aren’t going away but just in case should I put a water bowl in her terrarium?
Definitely put the water bowl in the tank. You can drip some water and see if she is interested
thank you I was getting a little worried about her
My beardie loves to drink when I give her a bath. If I notice her looking dehydrated I bath her. Usually 2 or 3 times a month. I'm definitely not an expert just saying what works for us! Also just an FYI chiefsweetsuniverse knows his stuff!! He helped me with tons of amazing advice it ended up saving my beardies life! I owe it all to him!! ❤💛💚
@@sommaluv ok I’ll try that to thanks
Do I turn the heat lamp and lights off at night? My son is taking care of his class pet (bearded dragon) She is older
Oh yes all lights off at night
Are flukers canned insects good for bearded dragons?
Do you have a picture of the top of your cage where your lights are positioned
Is 8:37 what you are referring to by chance?
8:22 I notice there is a lamp off to the left by its self what lamp is that just another LED? If I am understanding the 24” uvb lamp and the led long lamp you got from Walmart go on the same side, along with 2 basking lamps .
In total I was counting 5 lamps: 4 on one side and 1 on the other. Is that right?
@@user-ix4xo7cv8p oh yes that’s just another led daylight bulb. Haha. So I use two basking bulbs. A uvb. A led. But sometimes I do use two LEDs as well.
Hi there, Thanks so much for this! I do have a couple of questions. I just adopted my beardie from someone who said she was 6 months old, and has been feeding her three pinkies a week in addition to a lot of insects and some veggies too. I am absolutely not feeding her any pinkies, but she wants to eat insects constantly, and is 15 inches long already. Do you think that she could be so big because of being overfed for so long, or that she's actually older than what the person I adopted her from, told me?
Oh yeah she definitely is big cause she was over fed. I would slow down and feed every other day make sure to supplement the insects with calcium
Wow thanks for responding so quickly. And do you recommend something like Repetitive or just the plain Repticalcium? I appreciate your help. I only have experience with green iguanas, and she is very different!
Can a bearded dragon have too much UVB?
Is 150 watt basking too much for 75 gallons or can that burn him? My house stays consistently in the low 70's
It truly depends on what the basking temp is under the 150 watt. Get a temp gun and measure the basking spot if it’s between 105-110f it’s perfect but if it’s higher than that lower it to 100 watts
Can i feed my beardie earthworms or nightcrawlers?
I hope I can get some feedback!! My beardie has had a dark beard since I got him(3 mos ago).I notice it gets lighter sometimes but always has a greyish undertone..they told me he is a brick red. His husbandry I believe is up to par as well as diet! Thanks to your videos! 😊Is he unhappy or are some beardies just like that?? Please help!!!!
If you want to message me on Instagram or discord and send some pics of his beard I’d love to take a look. He could have something that a vet may need to prescribe him like a small infection or something as well. I’ve seen some dragons with illnesses like that need some antibiotics and there beard went back to normal.
Went to petland the other day only had the damn heating lamp for them! No uvb light at all !
Whoa that’s crazy!
Both of those links for the 120 gallon enclosures aren't available. My son really wants one so if anyone has any recommendations for a budget friendly 120 gallon enclosure please let me know.
Are you located in a non United States area? Cause I just checked and they are available for me on Amazon
Hey, I have a problem with temperatures in my tank. Since I changed the useless UVB lamp to T5 39W, the temperature in the “cold” area, where it should be around 28C, is now 30-32! I assume that it can be because the height of the terrarium is only 50 cm, not 60. In that case, what can you suggest? I was thinking about another T5, but now 24W, not 39W and only above the heat spot, because the 39W is around 85 cm long, when the tank has 120 cm. Thanks a lot! And also, if I understand correctly, for 120x50x50, the 14% should be better instead of 12 even if the than is only 50cm height
?
Make/buy a light riser
Recommended thermostat/hydrometer?
I have some linked in my storefront but I do like the vivisun thermostat and govee thermometer hydrometer
Am I a bad BD owner if I use a green reptile Carpet instead of dirt, sand, or any other alternative because it’s too messy?
I (14) own one BD who’s roughly around a year old (I got him last year on the way home from vacation in Tennessee at a pet store, and when he was a baby.)
He lives in a 40 gallon reptile tank, on my floor. He has a big water container, he has a bag of mixed dead crickets, worms, and other bugs, I occasionally feed him lettuce, and live crickets so he can retain his hunting skills, and also because ive heard it’s healthy for him. I also will occasionally put powdered calcium and vitamins on his food. He also has a red heart lamp (roughly around 100 watt I think) and a normal light. In his cage is little fake plants, a small and large log, and a little hammock (I do plan on getting him more stuff and upgrading the cage six when he gets older.)
He is generally healthy and a happy little BD, he gets to run around my room whenever my cats arnt in the room. And for as long as I’ve had him, I’ve haven’t seen nor had any problems, just the fact that he likes to be out on my bed a lot to explore because of boredom, but my mom won’t let me get another BD as a possibly playmate, but I’m also scared that they would hate each other, as I’m not too sure as if male BDs get along with other BDs. I also want to mention this is the very first time owning any reptile, and yes I do get help from my mom buying the food, things for the cage, stuff like that, but I entirely clean, feed, and take care of him.
Now to my point, I’m in 9th grade, and I’m getting busy, but I don’t plan on getting rid of my BD, but I found out that any type of reptile carpet is very dangerous and could potentially harm him, but like I’ve said, no problems so far, but I find other stuff like dirt, sand, and other alternatives to be too messy, as I’m 4’9 and generally pretty weak, and I have a hard time cleaning his cage as it is. I also do sports year round, so most of my week either than Sunday is taken up from sports, and I just don’t have enough time in the day to clean up all of that. If you could give me a safer and better option that’s easier and doesn’t need cleaned everyday that’d be perfect! I’d also like some intell if I’m a bad BD owner for using a green reptile carpet!
Much love- TheInternetWeirdo
Beardies are not good together, they are solo acts. You should try using tile. easy to clean and don't need to worry about missing toes.
@@TedTheRedDragon alright, thank you! I will certainly give tile a try!
So you have the link to the led from Walmart

What about excersize
You can take them out and let them run around your house as long as you don’t have cats or dogs or anything else that could hurt them
Do bearded dragons need an under tank heater?
No you don’t need one
Wondering if you have a bearded dragon video about taming or handling your bearded dragon?
Will have one soon as of right now I do not.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse okay thank you! Love your videos and I’ll be on the lookout
Hi chief! I have a 6 year old female bearded dragon that has not shed her top half of body in over a year. She did shed the bottom part of her body. Should I be worried? Other than that she is completely healthy.
When they are older the rarely shed so sounds pretty normal. My oldest male is the same way. As they age the sheds get farther and farther apart. Years apart instead of months like when they were young.
Wow! Thank you so much for the info. Greatly appreciated
My Beardie will be 4 tomorrow, he recently grew a mass over his shoulder, any idea what it could be ?
Sometimes it’s a tumor a vet can help ya there. They can drain it or remove it
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I have a follow up today, they free abit of juice from it 2 weeks ago and it was inconclusive, they wanna check to see if it’s cancerous, but tbh to the touch it’s hard!
@@pitsnpistols1005 very happy you got it checked out hope it’s noncancerous
Do bearded dragons need humidity
Two questions- do you recommend “soaking” baby and/or adult bearded dragons? I saw Zoomed Electrolyte Soak -is this needed ?
Second question- what do you recommend as far as cleaning products for tank? You seem recommend Fluker’s products. I found Fluker’s Super Scrub Reptile Cleaner - is this something recommend?
Also, if you could put recommended products on your Amazon list so you can get commission would be great!
If they are dirty like ran through there poop then yes other than that no real reason too.
Also yes all products on my list all give me commission so it helps me and helps others. I can put some nice very good get cleaning products on it as well but most of the time I just use hot water to clean the things I have.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the input!
can i scoop up fine sand from a dried up river bed
Yeah totally
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse thanks for the quick answer, I saw some people online saying you can just scoops up any sand/soil
We have 1 bearded dragon and looking to breed just 1 primary food source. Don’t care for the idea of crickets so would Dubia Roaches be the next best??
From my understanding any worms should be like treats and not a primary food source. I go thru great extents to make sure there’s no bugs in or even in my yard so the thought of buying bugs and housing them inside my house is giving me anxiety already lol
Understandable yes dubia roaches would be your best bet
My bearded dragon will only eat hornworms and Dubai roaches.. even though he has varying foods, from fruit and leaves to crickets and roaches- but he just doesnt seem to want to eat them. He absolutely loves his hornworms and Dubai roaches though, and im just glad hes not starving himself. Im concerned at his lack of energy too, feel like they are naturally supposed to be energetic but he hasnt really been energetic even as a baby- well, he has a bit, like running around in his cage and stuff but hes gradually gotten less energetic to the point where he's only moving for water and food. I know he isnt stressed or anything because his beard isn't black, and i think thats what they do when they are stressed.
As babies they are energetic but as adults they get very lazy.
My female woke up 4 weeks ago and has stopped eating salads, glass surfs all the time, and goes to bed early. Is that normal from hormones or could it be an illness or eggs? She eats bugs just fine and temps seem good.
It could be eggs. She could be looking for a spot to lay that’s why she glass surfs
I put a dig box in her enclosure yesterday. She did head bob for the first time near it. She started refusing her dubia roaches.
Could you ever have too much uvb?
Yes! Naturally the highest you see is 15.0 in the wild beardies usually hide during these times because it’s the hottest time of the year and the sun is blasting. But average summer spring uvi readings are around 3.0-10.0. Some uvb lamps if too close can give super high readings dangerous would be like double the sun exposure at the peak of summer.
How to know what stage of age my bearded dragon is? He is currently eating around 25-40 dubi roaches is that way to much? I feed him twice a day for 10 mins of how much he wants, with a side salad.
If he’s larger than 12 inches from nose to tail I start skipping days
His 15 inches from nose to tail idk if his fat enough. @@ChiefSweetsUniverse
My most recent short of him has his full body. Most beardies i see are just alot more wide@@ChiefSweetsUniverse
