- Bearded dragons are possibly the best pet lizards that you can get, but what if they are too big for you? Wouldn't it be wonderful if there existed a lizard with all of the great attributes of a bearded dragon, just in a smaller package? Well the Rankin's dragon, also known as the Lawson's dragon, dwarf bearded dragon, or pygmy bearded dragon might just be the best pet lizard for you!

I think you should do a video regarding the gila that killed his owner. A lot of idiots have there panties up in a bunch over it.
Hi Clint! So glad you did a video on Rankins :) if you ever decide to do a breeding project with them, I’d offer up my adult female. Her name is Briz (short for Brisbane) and she’s about two years old. I got her as a baby here in Phoenix.
do you have any good places to buy African fat tailed geckos
Pectina Lizard: the best pet lizard?
I don't know. You haven't told me...yet.
A friend of mine is a vet and when Calci-Sand came out, she told me to get it off my shelves. In all her years as a veterinarian (at that point, 19 years), she only had to operate on 3 lizards with substrate impactions. Calci-Sand came onto the scene and she was doing 1-2 impaction surgeries almost every week and it was out for about 6 months at that point. T-Rex had just sent us a few boxes of different colors as samples to sell. I only sold a couple of bags to a customer who used it for her rock gardens and the rest got thrown out.
You can use it in insect/isopod enclosures I guess?
i had 3 out of my 5 beardies out watching this video (not all at once. individually.) with me lol. they all are intrigued by their small cousin on the screen.
My beardie (Dragster) loves to watch videos with me. We will watch all kinds of videos on my laptop together. When I am working (I work from home) he will relax in one of those soft, fleece cat tents on my desk next to my monitors. I will put my laptop on for him to keep him occupied while I'm busy. He LOVES those bird/squirrel videos on TH-cam that are "for cats." Or also those aquarium/fish videos as well. But whenever there is a new lizard or bearded dragon video out, we watch those together! 🤣🤣
I think the pygmy bearded are my favourite dragon to keep as pets. A lot of the smaller dragons in Australia don't have the same temperament as the central bearded dragons and are extremely skittish and are un-inclined to be handled where as these guys just chill out on you like the centrals. The only thing you don't really get from Pygmies is that there aren't a lot of color morphs, even in Australia.
As to morphs, why is that? Are they less genetically disposed to having that much variation or are breeders just too focused on the "centrals?"
Great post. I would say give your last point time. In the 90s and early 2000s, there weren't all these morphs of beardies. You had beardies and slightly more colorful beardies. Rankin's are also nowhere near widespread to the quantity beardie's were when morphs started popping up. I'd say in 10-15 years, the rankins dragon will surpass the beardie, but they just aren't enough of them yet :)
As someone with the last name of Rankin, I think I need this little dragon in my life!
If you married one, you could take his name and keep yours too. That's called having your cake and eating it too.
Video idea: If you want this (Prehistoric Reptile) get this (Modern Reptile). For example, If you want a Spinosaurus, get a Sailfin Dragon.
Ooh that'd be fun!
So if I want a T Rex, buy a chicken?
@@DaveLeggett87 get a chicken, realize how effed up they are and get traumatized lmao
@@nick6253 I always laugh when I see eggs with labels like "fed an all-natural vegetarian diet," because all I can think about is all the poor frogs our chickens got hold of when I was growing up. The little psychos would bash their brains out on big rocks
@@nick6253 examine a mallard drake inserting its spiral prehensile penis and realise you'd rather not consider dinosaur mating habits.
Did you know the popularity of reptiles has BLOWN UP in the past 5 years? I think YOU are responsible for that Clint. You and Brian, rest his soul😇, Chandler and all of the other great youtube channels for reptiles! You guys are all responsible for this amazing hobby becoming so popular. I've become an armchair expert on reptiles because of all the channels i watch in here. Thankyou❤
I've raised beardies, and taken in critically ill (severe MBD, inoperable spinal tumor, etc) rescues, for years, but this is the first time I've caught his channel. He's very entertaining to watch and has gained a new sub. I love his enthusiasm.
I dunno why your wife wouldn't think a reptile enclosure would be good for the living room. I have my enclosure for my bts in my living room and with the plants and lights it's really livened up the room. And it has the added bonus of a friend who comes to sit in his basking spot and wanders around.
Right?! I keep one of my beardies in my living room, where I also wfh. Let's me keep an eye on her, she keeps an eye on me, and she also gets to look out the window.
@@LeRoiEnJaune maybe Clint uses those red incandescent basking lights? I use a halogen photography bulb and a) it works really well, gets the basking spot to the perfect temp b) doesn't make things red.
It really depends on both the interior and exterior. For example, a lot of PVC enclosures look very boring even if the inside is very ornately decorated. And depending on the type of room decor you've chosen a PVC enclosure could look very out of place. And simple aquariums can also look out of place depending on the rest of the room.
If you're the kind of person who liks old wooden furniture and has a very classic look to a livingroom, you'd probably need to repurpose an old piece of wooden furniture into an enclosure in order to help it fit in. But these clear enclosures might not look out of place is as many places simply because they are clear on all sides.
My giant ball python enclosure also brightens up my living room! I am all about reptis in the living room
All 3 of my reptiles are in my living room. Everyone loves them except our parents so big win. Friends come over parents stay away
I want to give it a tiny hat
Smol fedora
@@John_Doe_2004 yes! Can see it in my minds eye and it suits him (because with a fedora it is a him). Now he only needs a tiny trench coat and he is of to go.
Don't forget the katana. Then he's all set to woo the ladies. 😂
there was a bearded dragon character in the animated movie Rango
he wore a hat
it's a good goofy look on a beardie, and they should all have tiny hats
I don’t have a pygmy beardie, but I do have a dwarf beardie. In Western Australia, central beardies are illegal to keep since they are not native to the state, so we make do with keeping the dwarfs. Some keepers say their dwarfs are friendly and social, but my boy is quite standoffish about handling, so he is a display pet. It’s interesting how social pygmys are, he is a beautiful model for the video
Makes sense since in the wild they refuse to cross state borders 😂
I died when you mentioned the "stack of who would win books." Oh man that was a good line.
Oooohhh! Seeing the outtakes at the end gave me an idea… I would love if you would do a series about the intelligence of each of these species as well. Actually all the species of snakes and lizards! In your opinion, what makes them intelligent, how they think, socialize, tame up, interact, problem solve, also your take on Reptile emotions such as pleasure or fear. You could do a scoring/rating system on this whole series too!!! Something to think of if you start running out of content 😂.
Second, one hundreded percent! Beardie behavior is fascinating.
I just know that Reptile behavior and emotions is really starting to become a talked about curiosity. I feel like if you did a series like this it would seriously blow up.
Ooooooh I would love a video on this! Especially because they're not emotive species, it's a lot harder to read what's going on behind those beautiful eyes. I'd love to learn about their intelligence and how they think. 😊
And not just these but ALL the species! A new series! Pleeeeeease!!!!!!
GoHerping did a vid or two on that subject, just ranking the most common pet species that came through his rescue in terms of intelligence.
Man, I miss his reptile vids. 😞
Can we please get a full phylogeny of extant Pinnipeds? And if you happen to know of some good extinct ones that would be great too. Thanks.
We'll be digging into them a bit here soon.

Might as well start nicknaming it the Royal Bearded Dragon if there are such inbreeding issues with them as pets right now.
ha!
Le petit prince draconique!
Habsburg Dragon🙃
@@Firestar-TV I was actually going to use that name but I thought it might be a little mean-spirited 😅
@@llSuperSnivyllthey literally ruled half the world at times. And also, uhh… they‘re dead. Plus, how many people would even read that comment? 100? 200? we‘re almost 9 billions on this planet.
Finally @ClintsReptiles did a video on the Rankins! Dwarf bearded dragon: half the size, twice the fun! :D The only thing missing in this video is that they are far more social and tolerant towards each other. In nature they live in small groups unlike centrals which mostly live alone. Which makes them a lot easier to cohabitate. In fact a pet shop owner that had them said to me he recommends keeping Rankins with a minimum of 2.
One of the most underrated lizards. They appear to be much more available and affordable here in Europe. Seen them om expo's and even in a pet shop. Although far far less compared to the central. The inbred issues might not exist here as much as in the US.
I went specifically for them as my first lizards because of their smaller size but similar character. And unlike a Leopard gecko they are day active. I still think it is my best pet purchase ever.
I bought an adult pair from the previous owner which were sold with a 80x40x50cm terrarium. Which I upgraded to 100x50x50.
BTW mine have pooped on me (and other people) several times and it is very smelly and gross.
How about a Rankins VS Painted dragon video? :)
I had 2 sisters in 120x60 cm and cohabbing them this way seems to be quite common. It has suprised me as a rather new to the hobby that they are so rare in the States!
”Are they morons?”
**Remembering pretending to eat my ball python's tummy**
Yeah, I get it.
Please tell the guy who asked if they're "morons" that mine is potty trained. I will put down a puppy pad (if he's out and about) and knows to go to the pad to poop. Even when he was very sick and I was holding him, he still tried to walk down to his pad to poop. Mine also is so tame that he sleeps next to me. I have one of those soft fleece tents for cats... and he sleeps next to me in it. I cover the opening with a towel, and he doesn't come out until I open it up. He will wait for me to lift up the towel and say "good morning." He knows his name, and all kinds of words too. He has ALWAYS refused to eat insects (okay per vet - he gets Oxbow Omnivore care 3x a week) and I make him a salad and call it his "lunch." If I tell him "go eat your lunch," he will look at his bowl and climb down to eat it. He knows "squirrel, birds and mom" as well. They are very intelligent and the more time you spend with them and get to know them, the more you'll realize just how complex they are. I couldn't figure out why mine wouldn't eat out of one of those dark "rock/stone" looking bowls from the pet store. I eventually changed his bowl to a clear plastic bowl and he ate every day. He doesn't like to put his head down into something he cannot see through, so I always use a clear plastic container now. Just like baths as well... he doesn't like to go into anything that goes up over his head. So I have a shallow 12x9 plastic container that I fill with warmed spring water. He LOVES it. Mine has also showed anxiety in other ways as well. When I brought him to the vet the first few times, he ran from the vet TO me... The vet was amazed! He ran out of the vet's hands and climbed up my shirt for me to hold him. The first time he did this, I had only had him a month. He still wasn't letting me handle him much at home, but he already knew that I was somewhere safe enough to run to, from a stranger. That was so cool!! It's all about spending time with your pets and getting to know them. Beardies are definitely not meant to sit on a rock in an enclosure with nothing to do and no interaction. They are intelligent, highly social creatures. Mine might be just a little bit spoiled too. ❤
"What is he, Stupid?" 🤣
So how did you potty train your beardie?
@@Ofallthings089 lots and lots of repetition. He sometimes forgets or goes to the potty pad and misses by a little bit. But for the most part he makes it. At first I when I saw him doing the "poop wiggle" I would quickly move him to the potty pad (I ALWAYS have one out and ready to go.) And after he was done, I would make a big deal about it, almost like when a child uses the potty for the first time. I did that many many times and he just started going to the pad to go. Even one time when he was really sick... he ate something and I was literally on the phone with the emergency vet... he got up and went to the pad to poop. I spend lots and lots of time with him. I work from home and he's with me 24/7. That helps as well with the repetition.
@@Ofallthings089They're very easy to train to poop in their baths as well, provided your schedule permits daily, or every other day, baths.
They're highly intelligent little things, and I can say that with all confidence as I currently own 6 of my own, have raised a clutch of 24, and taken in numerous rescues and a few critically ills.
@@emmyali920Do you keep the pad in the enclosure?
Finally a video where we are not making room for a new enclosure 😂. We were very fortunately have been gifted a Rankin's by a very good breeder friend a few years ago. They are truly lovely lizards.
I was honestly so surprised at the score of 1 for availability; I had no idea they were that rare in the US. Here in the UK, I see them regularly in a local reptile shop, and I came across them online quite often when looking for bearded dragon breeders. I was expecting a score of 3 or 4.
The beardie wave killed me.
Where I live in Europe I see them kind of often actually. It hasn't been the right time for me (yet), but these have definitely been on my radar! Such cool animals :D
Yeah here in sweden they are as or even more popular than beardies lol
I see them a lot too here in Germany, and now I'm even more tempted to get one.
Here in the Netherlands they are far less common than the central but you do see them at a big expo often and I even seen them in a pet shop once.
I went especially for a pair of Rankins because of their size and being social animals.
I don't keep reptiles, but my goodness, those enclosures look like they'd make pretty good mini orchidariums
The rankins dragon was my first pet reptile and I've had him for 6 years now. He's absolutely AMAZING, and if I had to choose between the central bearded dragon and the rankins dragon, I'd choose a rankins any day.
They're very common over here in Europe and I know as many rankins dragon owners as central bearded dragon owner in Finland alone!
The poop thing is why I trained my beardies to poop into the shower drain - completely eliminates the issue of getting pooped on. Also, my family's pretty sure my beardie Luna was part Rankins, because she was only 15 inches long - which is tiny for an Inland beardie but massive for a Rankins - and had significantly rounder facial features than you typically see in Inlands (which my mom described as being "baby faced"...)
Mine are trained to poop in their baths, so I just wash it right down the drain, clean the tub or sink, then put them back in fresh water to soak and relax.
“Are they morons?” Was a hilarious way to end another great video. I’ve been watching your videos for years and I’ve seen every video on your channel except a couple live streams, and despite how lovely all the new formats and content is, these ‘best pet’ videos always make my day better. You are all lovely humans, and this is my favorite TH-cam channel of all time.
Im glad you talked about inbreeding depression in a reptile. I've seen a lot of, particularly ball python morph people, claiming inbreeding doesn't matter in reptiles, which is obviously completely false. Thanks for touching on this in a video!
I love my wee Rankins, she’s just so chill
One of my high school science teachers had a couple of these and they were so much fun to play and hangout with. So chill and tolerate. And absolutely adorable!
rankin’s dragons and collard lizards around the same size? time for a handleability head to head!
Yes they are.
These little dragons had been a dream of mine to keep since I was a teenager (20 years ago) and about 6-7 years ago I was able to get my hands on a pair of rankins and have been breeding them every year since! I currently have a group of 5 adults, and usually get at least 2 sometimes 3 clutches of eggs from a female a year. Each clutch is usually 17-22 eggs. I love rankins! I’m glad they are finally getting the love and attention they deserve!
Came for the lizard, stayed for the "Who Would Win" shade
Ooh ooh! Do the Australian Eastern Water Dragon next! There's a ton of them nearby my house and I love watching them bob their heads at each other and scramble about and swim when the people come walking on the paths they're trying to sun themselves on. They are one of the biggest dragons in Australia so it would be interesting to hear what challenges that poses for folks in pet keeping. Are they as rare as the pigmy beardy overseas?
He actually has 3 video's on the Australian water dragon. A best lizard video, a head to head with the green/Chinese water dragon and a head to head with the green iguana.
I'm sure someone else has probably said this already somewhere in the comments. But, we pronounce is Null-a bore. Not null Arbour. Don't worry, I don't think there's a single American who's ever correctly pronounced Australian English without being corrected lol.
I was sold one as a normal bearded dragon from the local petsmart when I was 15. She got maybe 5 inches snout to vent, but reached full maturity, laid unfertilized eggs a few times in her life, and lived a good 9 years (with a crazy appetite her entire life btw). The internet was still young so I spent about a month freaking out thinking I had done something wrong because she just stopped growing and I didn't know lawson's dragons existed. She also had a mansion as I thought she would be much bigger so I built her a 60 gallon enclosure. She was wonderful and got my mom interested in my reptiles, highly recommend. I didn't know they were that uncommon either, I don't know if the laws were different when I was a kid or if I just got an illegal wild caught import (probably lol). Also great video as always.
The beardie at the start of the video is beautiful
I've really been looking in to the perfect lizard for me so this was perfect timing on the upload. Those snakes are adorable too!
Yess tarantula cribs look really nice. I used to keep jumping spiders and even for other species of larger insects and small lizards/snakes, these look like they would be very useful and pretty in the fact that you can see everything. Which is great for a bioactive enclosure.
I've been dreaming of owning a group of these little guys for years. I think they are just perfect in every single way.
Those Tarantula Cribs enclosures seem like a really good idea for baby house snakes. They're so tiny and pretty good at escaping so the TC enclosure seems like a save option. 🤔
Also, hurray for your wife getting her very first own pet snake! 💚
My Samwise is great. He keeps me entertained and is a perfect size as well as temperment. He was from a reptile show. They are such sweet little animals.
We love our Rankins! We lucked out getting her at a year old due to a rehoming situation 3mo ago. She was a bit skittish at first (I don’t think she was handled that much) but she’s quickly warming up and letting that beardie personality shine ❤️
What a timely video. I have two coming in April. I’m so excited. And you’re right; they were very hard to find and I had to wait for them. Just need to network at expos to find them.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO, thanks so much cliiintttt!!!!
When I took my kid to the reptile room, I think she held this exact little guy. Chillest lizard ever
Clint please keep making these best pet videos! I know you said they don’t do as well but I watch each one, they’re fantastic.
Clint you are psychic... I literally just last night was looking up stuff about Rankin's dragons because I was thinking I might like one (for years I've gazed longingly at beardies in "but I live in a small space boo hoo") and I woke up to this video and was like... fate?!!!! Of course now they're going to get expensive before I can get a setup together, honestly how dare you.
A cape house snake video is in the works? Let’s go! That’s my favourite snake, and the first one I remember seeing in the wild!
shoutout to Dave Kaufmans video on bearded dragons exoloring their habitats, that video lead me into the range of other beardys!
I love the story at the end of the booth 😂
Those tarantula cribs would be perfect for carnivorous plants
They wouldn't be able to catch their own food, though
These guys are so under-rated.
After talking up the friendliness of this lizard, was happy to see the emerald tree skink make an appearance at the end 😅
They have these at my local Reptile shop (I'm in Wales). I'm not ready to get one yet but I go say hi to them when I can and I hope to one day!
they're amazing! I looked after 2 (they were neglected). I corrected the hand of one with a cocktail stirrer (calcium deficiency)nand bandage tape and the other had a docked tail and a healed back leg that was very enlarged with the scar tissue. It was sad to say goodbye to them. I hope Savannah and Mambo lived happy long lives.
I had a pair of Rankins for a while... Steve and Irwin. Very cute, easier to keep in small space... but sadly, they had the personality of a pair of sticks. They did not want to interact, did not do much in the way of making themselves appealing as pets, and were more display pets than handleable pets. I eventually passed them on to a rabidly passionate beardie fan who couldn't believe I was giving them up. I hope she found great joy in them! I went on to adopt a big beardie, and he's a joy... and he's never pooped on me, either! :)
I love you got tarantulas cribs as sponsor great company great products
Been waiting for you talk about these guys for years!
Tip from an Aussie, Nullabor isn't pronounced nool-ARE-bore, it's pronounced NULL-uh-bore, where null rhymes with dull. Love the video!
Tarantula cribs’ new enclosures are stinkin rad!!!! Those are really cool!
I just found out about these yesterday, and you immediately drop a video!!!
If I could physically keep up with caring for one, I'd get one--a nice quiet pet that doesn't need a dog-door, leave piles of poop in yard for my son to step in when he mows--only I doubt he'd bark if someone broke into my house, LOL. Anyway, I bet my grandsons would love to have one of these, if we could just talk my daughter in law into it. Great video!
I love my rankins dragon. She is amazing. I have a bunch of reptiles but my Rankins is my lil baby
Nice to see your best pet series, I can't wait to see what you'll review next 🙂👍
I'm *only* allowed to keep them in the livjng room. It's a "i'm so happy that you have something you love that we can afford and keep localized in one room" deal
I actually breed Rankins! Daingerfield Exotics!!! They are a wonderful species to work with!
7:11 “Get out of here 😡🤬😡🤬”
“Yes I promise I will 😳😰👋👋”
i found out about them in your earlier video and just 3 months ago i came across a Dozen of the wee darlings in our local reptile shop for you said it, about 250 each. so adorable.
As someone in the UK, these guys are WAY more common over here pet shops than in the states
I didn't realize they were so rare. My local per shop just announced they had a few hatch
Thanks Clint and Crew! I love these videos and they've become a regular part of my day! I love getting to learn about all these STINKIN RAD pets while I go about my day or even to sleep at night!
I'm a Rankin's owner! This is my first Rankin's so I don't have a large group of examples to draw from but she's SO sweet compared to the vitticeps I've had. Very active comparatively, also!
Love your reptiles videos! Don’t ever stop!
Pls give a review about the Namaqua Dwarf Adder Bitis Schneideri Smallest Viper in the World with 11inches long with a mild cytotoxic venom 🤩😊😇🙏
Had no idea tarantula cribs made those size enclosures that's awesome
Dave Kaufman is the one who I first learned there were other bearded dragons which I still learned this year
I absolutely adore my Rankins Dragon but it is worth pointing out that he brummates (like hibernation) every year from September to March and this is quite common, at least in the UK. My little dragon has been asleep for seven months now and I miss him so much 😢
Also it seems that it can be possible to cohabitate Rankins Dragons (unlike beardies!) but definitely do very thorough research about how to do this safely before attempting it.
PS I also have a Cape House Snake and he is absolutely perfect and the best snake I could have ever asked for! You DEFINITELY need to do a video on these guys!
I kept a bearded dragon for a couple of years and although he was pooping often and in large amounts, he never did it on my hands. Snakes on the other hand often poop without warning.
I have bred these, at my former place of employment 🦎❤️ they are wonderful!!
There are actually a very small amount of Barbata in the USA. I think there were only 3 when the import ban started. I don’t know if there are still pure Easterns, but I have a half Barbata that can jump over a meter upwards. They’re a handful unlike Centrals.
I loved holding him at the reptile room! So sweet
Yesss! Finally rankins are getting noticed❤ I really prefer them over the standard beardie and here in Finland they are pretty much equally popular😊
We need a redfoot tortoise video! Love the channel and all your videos!
Nice tie!
They're a lot more common here in sweden. They're sold very commonly in reptile shops here ☺️
That's cool and all but honestly the rat with wings is a cooler pet because it's a dinosaur that can fly
Will be picking up a Rankin Dragon at the NARBC Tinley expo next week. Found a vendor who let me drop a down payment so I can just pick him up.
Watching again to show support for this kind of video.
Loving your best pet videos, learned a lot from them. Hoping to see a best pet video on the cuban knight anole.
Hey Clint, Would you ever do a video on the Egyptian Tortoise? They are very small and cute!
I had couple of them and they are cool as hell. Best lizard pet in my opinion
Please do an updated review on leopard geckos with updated care!! That would be so awesome to revisit that, I got my leopard gecko last year because of that review! Awesome reptile.
Clint raises reptile value.
Rankin's dragons are amazing. Honestly surprised they haven't overtaken central beardies given their lower care requirements.
I'm lucky I live in the UK and my local exotic pet shop usually has Rankin's. One day.
I live in switzerland and here we get a lot of them, it seems. A lot of petshops offer them and I go regulary to a reptileshow, were I see them all the time😅🤔
Now I wonder how our bloodlines are, but switzerland also has some special laws for exotic pets. I deffinetly should read more about it...
Danggg I want one of those eastern bearded dragons.
Great episode!
Hay Clint I was wondering if you had any plans on making a video about butterfly agama I just got one and I have to say I’m really excited about it
