A Sad Bearded Dragon's 1 Month Improvements!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Last month, I drove 500 miles to pick up some animals, which included this bearded dragon that wasn't in the best condition. Many layers of stuck shed, undernourishment and lethargy. Definitely not the worst things we've dealt with, but still something to be taken seriously! Today, I go over some of the very positive changes in this young bearded dragon.

Hi owo
Did my reply stick
Yup it did
GoHerping the tail tip was probably another dragon who bit it off.
you could have a category called "rehabilitated-rescue"
“But he’s very fast so you gotta be careful.”
**cut to clip of beardie yeeting himself across the entire yard**
I laughed harder than I should on this one 😂😂😂😂
That part killed me 😂 😂 😂

So funny 😆 👁

they are very loving animals if you love them and take care of them
For each new video he makes, it sounds like he will own a rescue and rehab facility much bigger than the one he has now.
Although he doesn't use a lot of complex words and terms for how he diagnose the issues, his description is enough to make the one listening understand the overall evaluation. He likes to keep everything in "laymen" terms yet also very professional at the same time; a doctor that you can understand their handwriting.
From what I have gathered, this guy is like 17 years old; purely self-taught, not an academic. I'm amazed by how much I have learned from him. A real prodigy in the herp world.
I agree
@@kbrown3787 Pretty sure he's at least 20.
@@ayyylma0 he's 18-19
_Paws_ completely agree! This guy is so good with his reptiles and I’ve learned so much. Other pet you tubers need to step up their game x20
Keep an eye on that foot for swelling! It could possibly be some joint issue like gout. I personally had a beardie with this disease and it’s really debilitating..
but I don’t see much swelling, so what I think happened is he possibly had a break or dislocation that has since healed. With it now being healed in an improper placement, that may be a comfortable way to keep his foot.
The more probable reason could be from the stuck shed. He could’ve at some point had circulation cut off to that hand, and had permanent nerve damage to that hand, thus making him sort of carry it oddly.
Whatever it is, it doesn’t look to be much of a bother. Keep doing what you do!!
They would have to have a high sugar intake for gout I think.
Hingle McCringleberry In reptiles it’s too much protein. But they have to already have the disease, increased intake of protein will make it flare up. I had to feed my beardie a strict vegetarian diet.
I definitely think it’s nerve damage from circulation issues. It seems like he probably doesn’t feel the foot much and doesn’t realize it’s sitting derpy
If that's true, he could get some kind of cast to hold his foot in proper alignment. That might correct things.
wow your a very smart hooman. I'm impressed
Maybe you can introduce "rehabilitated" as the most extreme category on the website and "rescued" as the middle category.
Refurbished
@@FredoFreedom damn dude, that's colder than my turtle's blood
And Rehomed as the lest extreme
@@ameliamarsh5162 💯 this is important because sometimes animals are loved and healthy and they're voluntarily surrended because their owner can't keep them anymore for any number of reasons. Their income changed, someone developed an allergy, they're moving ... Rehomed as the least severe option would be perfect.

"Who knew you could be so excited about blood?" Clearly Alex has never missed his period before
Wow so many likes I'm famous 🥺
Elizabeth Phillips FACTS AHAHA😂😂😂
😂
That was literally my first thought! lmao
😂
I feel that. Can't wait until I stop having them, I don't even want kids so my body is torturing me in for no reason! Screw you, biology.
I actually know a herp sanctuary that has a tailless beardie. She was from a home that the owner just left her, a bp, and a dog, with all her belongings, in someone elses house. The reason of the tail's goneness is unknown, and her name is toad. she's adorable, and about half the size of a beardie her age.
Devon Lortie that’s so sad - I’m thankful for the herp sanctuaries everywhere for the work that they do! (My beardie boy is named Toadie!)
@@Tinture Aww! I've got 2 beardies, Casper and Willard
We got our BP from a guy who cleaned out foreclosed houses. Sulley is a sweet thicc boi now, 10 years later.
Glad she is safe now.
The way he just took off outside KILLED me😂
"Lightly used" keep it😂
Lmao 😂😂😂😂
Lol
PreOwned☠️🤣
Says dragon is lethargic
Dragon hears and runs a cross the lawn
Yep, my beardie likes to make a liar of me ALL the time too,
Not only is he not bothered by you touching his tail, it actually looked like he was enjoying it. Lol
Alex one year ago: “I don’t like bearded dragons and I don’t see myself having them”
Thx for the likes 😂
Alex now: “So I only got one” (he says, sounding like the most disappointed boy)
No-man Baugh 😂😂
Beardies are just like that man. They might not get the same accolades as Tegus and Monitors do for intelligence, but they're just super chill and super inquisitive. Hard not to love their personality.
10 years ago my husband told me we cant get any reptiles.....a lil over 3 years ago he relented and said yes to a beardie, then promptly got over his severe fear of lizards!
Alyssa Hi, am looking after my daughter dragon. Am a senior and was freaked out by the creature. Slowly we have become good friends.i even feed her live worms, me of all people. I call her Princess. And she is so comical to us. Expensive to set them up. But once the unit is set up, it’s easy to maintain. Our is very calm and closes her eyes when we pet her. It’s been a learning curve for us. It’s a female and had 30 egg which were not fertile, so no babies, that was shocking. I think eventually I’ll be able to pick her up and carry her about and bath her. I almost want to keep her. Me, who gets creeped out super easily.
Instead of rescue use rehabilitated
That's a good one
Yeah, I like that one.
Perfect!
'Rehab Reptile'
Yea I like rehabilitated. It’s accurate.
But don't you first have to rescue to then rehabilitate??🤔
“Rehabilitated” could be your happy medium between “rescued” and “perfect”
this makes me feel validated for being so obsessive about my beardie's sheds.
He looks so happy rn❤️ You go little beardie !!
"Who knew you could be so glad about blood?"
- People who never had pregnancy scares.
Worst part is that a minority do have light bleedings while pregnant, it isn't a period just vaginal bleeding. And of those some even bleed regularly making it seem like a period... So if your period is normally light it can be difficult to tell the difference. And this is one of the several factors that can contribute to women not realizing they are pregnant until they give birth.
I guess it's the only upside to being a heavy bleeder :( Can't mistake vaginal bleeding for a period if you're losing literally deciliters of period blood normally.
Lmao exactly what I thought
I read this as he said it and was greatly disappointed that you worded it wrong
I’m a first time dragon momma and THANK YOU SO MUCH for your tips on handling and feeding. You’ve been a god send!
Alex, they're not rescues - they're thrifted.
400th like!
Perhaps have "Perfect, Rehome, Rescue"
I personally don't think rescue is too serious.
I was also thinking of 'Rehome' as the mid category.
Me too! Rehome works perfectly as a middle ground.
Hmm I was thinking 'rehab'. Rescue for those that will have issues for the rest of their lives, rehab for those that will be ok after a bit of tlc, and perfect for those that have never been neglected.
When I got my gecko from her previous owner she had 5 full on layers over her face,skinniest tail in the world, lost all het toes due to the stuck shed.
Shes doin alot better now tho. Now she shed the first day all in one piece. Eats like a champ, but still terrified of people
My gecko was a lot like yours, skinny, on calci sand, almost all toes gone, regrowing tail. The owner said he was about 11 years old and he lived with me for over 10. It took him a little while to be comfortable with handling, but the last several years he loved it. He would hang out on my shoulder, loved baths and loved his neck and the base of his tail rubbed. That said, he never had a normal shed, and had difficulty tracking and striking prey. Sadly, I lost him last month due to a tumor in his belly. I just wanted to thank you for rehoming your critter, and it reminded me so much of my story.
@@Tinyvalkyrie410 shes a permanent member of the family now! After all trauma she went through with the last owner I wouldn't give her to anyone else. Im sorry to hear your gecko passed :(
Tabbi E. He had a long healthy life with me, but it’s always sad to lose a pet.
tell your gecko i love her and she is perfect
When your owner takes you outside and you see a car to hide under:
I am speed.
This was not boring to watch at all! I'm so glad he's doing fine. You're such a trooper for doing what you do! ❤️
6:12 awe little dragon loves him for saving him look at him just chillin on his shoulder 😭❤️
THE CACTUS IS IN THE BACK!!!!
Oof Sopha AAAHHHHHH CACTUS SPOTTING
I was looking for this comment!
Go "How Do I Open The Gas Tank" Herping.
Can you do/do you have a video about identifying and removing stuck shed?
“Pre-loved” is a term I’ve seen.
That's nice, actually. 🦎💕
Alex you’re going places and I can’t wait to see it! Never stop doing what you love
his foot issues might just be from the stuck shed constricting it. since you have pretty much gotten it off it wil most likely heal over the next month or so.
When you go from" I will never have a beardie", to prime basic reptile keeper😂😂😂😂
Anyways I wish people would just do some research even just a little before purchasing an animal
“Refurbished Beardie” 😂
He is so cute!!! I love the clips of him eating. Bearded dragons eating is the cutest thing!
I agree
Many years ago, I was out with some friends and we went to some random guy's house. I got lost on my way to the bathroom and found a 10 gallon aquarium with 2 adult beardies in it. 1 was a skeleton, and the other was so emaciated and cold it just laid in my hand - missing toes and tail. Gave the guy like $20 to take it. I'd had snakes, but not lizards. I nursed her back to health with the help of a local reptile shop and rehomed her after she improved. I wasn't in a big enough place to house her. She was so chill and awesome. Your videos are making me want to help another beardie in need and keep it this time.
I don't need anymore animals, stop the madness, Alex.
Not boring at all! I would love to take over his care. His personality seems wonderful and Im so happy that he doesnt have any permanent issues and every thing is working out great for him.
Label them as "Rehomed" so you have an in between!
I have to be honest, when he's fully recovered, he's gonna be an absolutely beautiful dragon.
Thank you for helping me through my 4 Year’s of reptile keeping
Poor guy! Respect to you for taking the time to fix him up. You are way more reliable than most!
So glad you did this update. I have thought about this dragon quite often since you collected them.
If I had the room, I'd take the little guy in a heartbeat.
What you do is such an amazing thing . People don’t realize reptiles can be loving and loyal especially bearded babies. They just want love and to be taken care of
I love that bearded dragons look like they have naturally derpy smiles. Him just zooming was absolutely adorable
I'm so happy that this baby is doing better. It breaks me to see how bad he looked go begin with though. But I'm so glad how well he is doing ♡♡ uwu
Playing tag is like.
Friend: NO that tag didn't count!
* runs off *
Me: 1:46 *SKREEEEEE!*
You have done an amazing job at reviving this beautiful little beardie. Thank you for all you do mate. 👍🏻🦎🧡
I love how comfortable he seems on your shoulder!
He running being all like
WHO DAT BOYE, WHO HE IS? WHO DAT BOYE, WHO HE IS?
Maybe a good middle ground between Rescue and Perfect would be “rehomed/rehoming?” So glad he’s doing well (and that our boy Alex is coming around to beardies)
For the In between phrasing: Rehabilitated.
They weren't necessarily "rescued" from severe harm, but they needed some level of medical attention/therapy of a sort before they were ready for sale.
This poor little guy. I’m so glad you of all people got this boy and helped him out. I cannot imagine how long this guy must have been neglected for THAT much skin to build up
We need more Alex and Ethan videos!!
Is that a Stardew Valley plush in the background? 😂
A junimo!
what a beautiful creature so glad to see him properly taken care of!
They are tough little animals. You'd be surprised how much they can take. Its good that he found someone to take good care of him.
We just got a bearded dragon. Vet said it had pin worms with it got from the crickets bc crickets carry them, which I didn't know
I would use the term "re-homed" or something... That feels like a nice in between
Wow, T.T, thank you for taking care of him !
Thank you for all that you do. I do enjoy watching you. We are blessed to have you taken care of these guys
I think you should keep him he looks so cute there on you specially when you're just talking you can tell how much he loves you.
Well said, I agree with you, Alex should keep him.. My beardie knows my voice too.
I like something like “nurtured”, “rehomed” “rehabilitated” as a scale, since it’s more a judgement of the animal’s history and needs than the quality of the animal itself
I'm so glad you rescued him! That poor guy had to have been super itchy!!
Thanks I love all your videos and you are my favorite TH-cam channel ive been recommending this Chantal to my friends family and people that I dont know😄 love your chanel 🦎🦎🦎🐊🐢🐍
chantal.
@@zoelange-pearson3020 thanks
"Lightly used" Bahahahaha! He's doing so well, which is awesome to see.
I’ve never had nor been around a beardie until now. My husband rescued him from a really bad situation. He had not been fed for at least couple of months and running around in a pile of dirty clothes in a camper. We got him home and I began the research on how to handle. Things where going well he was eating after days of trying this and that. First 3 days he wouldn’t drink then he realized what it was and did great even drank in his bath. That was 2 months ago. Now for the last week and half ever since I bought him a much larger cage and placed him in hit he goes to one end or the other ( most of the time because I’ve moved him to the middle) climbs on his large rock or gifs in his cave and just stays there. His eyes look good and when I talk to him he responds but doesn’t move body only head. He finally ate 1 1/2 pellets yesterday but that’s been it. Won’t eat or drink not even in the bath. We have no vets out here that know about dragons. Do you have any suggestions or advice. Thank you
What an adorable little fighter
Omg I just realized the junimo in the backround!
Rehabilitated would be a good word to use, rescue isn’t bad tho
I hope for the best! Prayers for this sweet lizrb 🦎🦎💗💗💗
What a difference he is gorgeous I am not a fan of reptiles but love seeing them happy and healthy
How did I get here? I don't and never intend to own any lizards, yet I'm watching these videos. ...and I like them.
Good work, nice videos, all the best, keep herping.
-Rabbi
Maybe you should get one? They're pretty chill pets and it's fun just having it hang out on your shoulder.
Rehabed (rehabilitated) would be a good inbetween. Implies that there was some minor issues that got rectified with basic care.
I think a good category between rescue and perfect is something like "needs some love".
He's so much prettier with all that stuck shed off, im glad he's doing well!
yep, for sure
Oh that is DEFINATELY a junimo plush!!!!!!!!! Hello fellow stardew player 🥰👋
factory new, well worn, rescue
mmmm maybe csgo market types not the best
ADORABLE, THANKS FOR SHARING.
Aww poor guy , thank you for rescuing him.
Sad beardy
Bad life-ey
>Who knew you could be so excited about blood
Vampires.
Thank you for the update! He’s absolutely gorgeous. Stop worrying, it wasn’t boring. Your husbandry’s fantastic. I’m so impressed. Looking forward to your next video.
thanks :)
Poor guy.....
Lethargic no more! So happy u found him
“I didn’t get a look at him there cause I don’t feel like talking to people.”
ME.
His odd foot placement may be caused by calcium deficiency
Just buried the family beardie last night, then this comes up in my feed. Glad to see someone's baby is doing well somewhere!
“I don’t wanna talk to people” lmfao that is so me
“Who knew you could be so excited about blood?” Every female w a late period ever
He needs more ASMR baths
Agreed.
Allen Jones I've seen you on like 50 vid
I dislike seeing the thumbs downs on these videos. Alex, you're doing great, you keep up the great work!
Thank you for saving him😭
I love your channel! I just got my first Pixie Frog at a Reptile Expo, his name is Gamakichi!
So you've watched Naruto
My brother and I named our toads gamakichi and gamabunta when we where younger
I_Love_Snakes_ So_Much lol yeah
Jazzmine Mahan that’s awesome
Fellow NC native! Come say hi to me and my snake baby
Bearded dragons deserve just as much love as a cats and dogs
This beardie is adorable, I'm so glad you were able to nurse him back to health! Thank you for being such a force for good in the reptile community
Gravy boat in the background tho
“How do I open the gas tank”
I've been involved in animal rescue for years. I assure you that he IS a rescue! That is absolutely the correct term, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! I'm very concerned with the folks you got him from. It appears that there may be neglect, possibly abuse, and some shady breeding practices going on. Laws regarding such things are gradually getting better. It's would be a good idea if you find a similar situation in the future to contact law enforcement and let them know that it's something worth looking into. Hope this little guy, and others like him, are seeing a vet. Lots of good ones that work with reptiles. And by the way, he's beautiful! I currently have one about the same size, and I'm happy to say he is a rescue, and he is So sweet. Peace. 😊🐾
we have a beardie and he loves to eat things so when your dragon tried to eat the toothbrush that reminded me of our beardie!
