#BeardedDragonTips #WhatIWishIKnew #BeardedDragonCare
I've been thinking about getting a Bearded dragon but I am currently in the research stage and I appreciate the information that you are providing. Keep up the good work and very funny bloopers
I just got out of research stage. Text my bf today with "i did a thing" and he replied with "bought a pocket dragon didnt you?" yes. Yes i did and her name is cuddles (after a pocket dragon adventures character) she's super cuddly, fell asleep on the bus home and loving life in her new home
Did you get one?!?! Howâs it going if so? I in the process of setting up my enclosure atmâŠ. And doing some last min research! An yes also ty so much for this video and the others!
@@lyricly3100 Good Afternoon! No I have decided to hold off on getting one until I am down to one dog because I currently have 2 dogs and I am not sure how one of them would be with a bearded dragon, But when I do decide to get one I plan to get everything needed for him/or her before I actually get one. I also would like to be in a house instead of an apartment.
I was wondering if you could make a video on proper lighting for bearded dragons.
I agree
This is my worry too! I want to make sure it as a thermostat as I'd hate to overheat my future dragon I'm wanting...
I keep a list on my phone of "safe" foods for my Cornelious (and there's a ton!). Every time he tries something new, I mark it with a check. If it's something he seems to really like, I mark it with a heart. If it's something he shouldn't have too often, I mark it with a "thumbs down" just so I know not to give it to him too much. So far (had him 8 months) his favorites are mustard greens, butternut squash, acorn squash, dubia & hornworms. He doesn't seem keen on bee pollen though, which I thought they all loved. He was scared of hornworms for a minute too lol
omg!! please put it in the comments!
where do you get your dubia worms? i went on the dubia dudes site and it says they are all out of stock
@@nintendobluerose9776 I have a lot of local reptile breeder friends that also breed superworms, dubia roaches, rats & mice etc. If they are out, I have a couple local reptile shops that carry supers & dubia, too. Also I accidentally started my own dubia colony so that helps lol
Iâm a new beardie mom, and are finding my way. Your video is so helpful! Thank you.
thank you for these videos. The issue I have found is that there is so much conflicting info out there, and I am so thankful I found your channel.
Thank you đIâm loving your channel đwe have 4 geckos (3 leos and a crested) we also and had 2 beardies we adopted from a classroom. Our beardies lived to be 20 + years! well, yesterday we adopted a sweet 5-6 year old beardie who was donated to the highly entrusted reptile resource - east bay vivarium - a sweet girl, fully grown, needing a home. So many reptiles are in need of a forever home due to previous owners circumstances. We canât wait to bond with this girl, checking on her every couple of hrs đwe held her at the Vivarium, inside and outside -weâre just in love. Totally excited to come across your content as we realize we are officially reptile hobbyists.
Thanks Elle! Just got a beardie a few days back and have already been struggling with crickets and running to local stores to pick up more because, like you said, i was unprepared for just HOW MUCH my juvenile eats! Didnt know about Dubia roaches but they sound far superior to crickets. I just signed up with the Dubia dude for weekly deliveries! Your videos have been soooo helpful in answering questions i have and getting my set up right!
I just found your channel,itâs very helpful. I just got my five yr old, grandson a breardie, he wanted a pet at my house. Anyway found your channel, and everything I was told or read from the
âpet store â, was wrong, like feeding them crickets once a week, kale and spinach salad,fruit as a
treat. As for handling him, we started the second day, he doesnât run and hide and loves to cuddle!
And when my grandson goes home grandpa has âTocoâ out for cuddles đđ„°
Thank you so much for the great information on beardies, we are learning a lot!â€ïžâ€ïž
Thank you so much for all your videos! I'm learning English and planning to get a dragon in the near future, so this is a double benefit for me! All the best!
So far the Juvie beardie I care for poops outside of his enclosure. Getting him out on a towel approximately same time every morning, within 5 mins to 30 mins he goes. a worm on his salad placed on this towel tends to encourage him to poop sooner if I need to run. Great video thank you for all your help. Roaches are awesome!
I live 45 minutes away from you! Iâm finding your videos so helpful
Everything you said is spot on. I used to have 2 bearded dragons and thankfully they never had to experience the vet. Nice video!
Thank you! đ
Hey Elle, just found your channel today and it is really helpful. I didn't plan on getting a beardie but my mom's friend had a stroke and now I have his dragon, Karl. I want to make sure he is getting proper care and I appreciate what you are doing on this channel. :)
Our beardies name is Carl! Hope you ended up falling in love â€ïž
That is so cute. I love it love it.

You are a god send! A friend of mine moved and gave me his 4 year old bearded dragon that he couldn't take with him. I've had her for 1 week and i went into it completely blind. What I'm working on right now is getting her to eat her salad, because she was absolutely refusing. She only wanted bugs. The tips i got from you are definitely helping a ton! Thank you!
My bearded dragon has always loved eating his salad and i dont know why
So lucky! đ That's awesome, and has probably saved so much stress
Hydroflasksks _13 same
Hydroflasksks _13 Lucky, mines never eats his veggies đ©
Lol mine loves strawberrys and leaves everything else
Same, here. Then again he will just about eat anything
Great video! A bearded dragon is the next reptile we're adding to our collection - we have one on reserve at our local (not big brand) pet store, for when they get them in next. I was surprised about how much they eat...as we live in Canada, dubia roaches are illegal, so I guess it will be lots and lots of crickets.
sUPERWORMS!!!!!
Hi, I just found your page today and weâve had our bearded dragon for about a year and a half. His name is Mr. Long clause. He said thereâs a lot of stuff that they donât teach you that you need to know to teach that to get the dragon itâs crazy like the lighting and they should really train the people at the store a lot more better, but ours is big fat, healthy and he loves us and Iâll be watching way more of your page
So far Nikki is being a picky eater , but it is his first week .I'm hoping he starts eating more than crickets once he's adjusted .
He also likes to poop in his salad often. Thank you again for these videos they're very helpful . I'm still learning after 2 years
Hi Elle... We just got 2 baby beardies and i did alot of research but watching you has helped me alot. My babies are amazing.
Yay! Congrats on the new additions! đ and I'm so glad that I've been helpful đ„°
I dont have social media... But id like ti get your opinion in my set up... I didnt see an email address in the description
100% Agree with everything mentioned. My Beardie is 11 Months, first pet lizard and reptile. I thought I did a lot of research, and foolishly listened to the pet shop employees of big name stores who just said things to say them when I was a little confused, to sell me things. Luckily after realizing mistakes and continually striving to be a good beardie mom, I kept researching and people like you have made the care so much easier. My little guy almost ate me out of house and home (with all the bug runs I was making)! I didn't even know you could order bugs in bulk till months later! lol I learned there is a local pet shop not even far from me who specialize in JUST reptiles. I support them now and go to them for supplies and update them on how he is doing. Finding a trusted vet who specializes in reptiles/beardies is important too, cause sometimes doctors will take them in appointments and then shrug. xDDD
Also, it is possible to potty train beardies. Mine doesn't go in his tank, I put him in a plastic container with a bit of warm water that he poops in, then take him out and clean him off, and flush the dirty water down the toilet. :)
Mealworms are a perfectly fine food sorce as well. If you would like a more in depth video on different feeders, Cold Blooded Creations has some great videos on bearded dragons.
Very informative. Just got my first Bearded Dragon and this is great to hear. Thanks for the info!
Glad it was helpful! And congrats on your new beardie đ
These are great tips! Thank you :) My beardie is STILL a super picky eater!! He is almost 2, but will only eat maybe once a week (salad OR bugs!). I always worry that something is wrong, but I offer him food, and he just doesn't eat it until he wants to.
Howâs your beardie doing? Mine doesnât seem to have a big appetite even though I always offer him a wide variety of insects
I absolutely LOVE the videos you make!! So helpful and makes me feel like I'm doing a good job and it's not just MY dragon! My baby doesn't like salad AT ALL!!
Awww thank you. I'm so glad I've helped you out with your beardie đ„°
Thank you so much!!! I am a new owner of a bearded in which I gut my son for Christmas!!! So naturally itâs my Grand dragon!! The information shared in this video was sooooo helpful!! Iâm over the crickets⊠I canât go on vacation⊠but my grand dragon is here and so cute!! A lot of things I didnât know and wish I researched prior because we may not have gotten thisâŠ. Thank you⊠đđœđđœ
I am about to start my dubia roach colony and I am so excited!
This was amazing! Thank you for this video, im going to be getting a beardie soon, so im looking forward to it! I have the tank as a 40gal (for a baby/juvenile) and its bioactive!! So excited!
Ooooh very nice! đ
And congrats! đ
@@ellesreptiles Thank you! I picked her up yesterday and she is settling very well!!
Bee pollen sprinkled over your greens will help attract them and they love it ! my dragon was picky as hell .... hes now munching down on greens.
I just got my bearded dragon and I have been taking notes on everything so thank you!
Thank you so much for your video. I just got a 7 week baby and your video helped me so much.
Super awesome video!! Wish I would've found this a lil sooner
Thank you đ you guys have a great Sunday đŠ
Thank you! I hope you do as well! đŠ
This was awesome show today. Helpful information on bearded dragon's and letting people know we all can make mistakes but then we can correct that mistake. We are not all perfect but we can learn from others mistakes. Thank you so much. God Bless see you next Sunday
Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful week! â„ïž
@@ellesreptiles Thank you and I will have a great week looking forward to your next show. Can you do more on tarantulas I have 3 now and can use all the help I can get. God Bless
I am so glad I found you. This info is ' beyond' helpful.
â„ïž aww I'm glad I could help!
@@ellesreptiles Ok. I took the Plunge. I'm now the proud owner of a Banana Pectinata.
im ten and getting a bearded dragon this week and your videos help me so much
Love you girl!! I am definitely going to subscribe.
Like the confidence in each video u make.
The main thing I wish I knew was:
He's really gonna eat nearly 1000 crickets a month. Start your own colony for sure.
Crickets should be kinda last on your list for staple bugs. Research dubia roaches, much better for them, and easier to breed, buy, dust and feed.
@@DoubleDragonHotel for babies, arent dubia roaches a bit tricky since they are kinda big and thick? it was ok for my juvenile, but my baby was so small compared to the dubia roaches, making it harder to eat.
@@hellobello1903 Some suppliers have very tiny ones. There are also small phoenix worms that are goof.
Double Dragon Hotel ooh I might try out Phoenix worms thanks
@@hellobello1903 You're welcome :)
The dome part had me chuckling, all I could hear was that you had a Dimsdale Dimmer-Dome. XD
Perfect timing! I just got a 6 year old rescue beardy who was kept in a 20 gallon long and had the same lights his whole life. He is super stunted and has a kinked tail and some missing nails. I can not wait to upgrade him and give him all if the lights he needs! I named him Elvis.
P.S. I was the 100th like on you video!
Awww poor guy, I'm glad he has you to take care of him properly now â„ïž
@@ellesreptiles thank you. â€
I'm so glad my juvie beardie Zuko LOVES greens.. he doesn't even care for squash, or peppers or anything.. but he will attack some mustard greens. The people I got him from had him on Beardie pellets, and spinach, with sub par lighting (but UVB was there) and not great substrate
Does he have anything to do with prince zuko by any chance?
@@bred007 absolutely. He's a fire lord dragon. Lol
I don't even know if in getting one, and it'll be a couple months before I do know. So I already have a vet that ik will see a beardie and Ive already started my research. Also, thank you so much for these videos, they are helping so much.
That's awesome. If you do end up getting one, just know that you started off wonderfullu, doing the research first đđđ
Thank you for your information! Looking to get one next month
I'm surprised dwarf bearded dragons (Rankin's Dragons), aren't more popular in the USA. They're pretty much like a bearded dragon, just small.
Sorry if this is weird but your voice is so calming
My beardie is almost one and he refuses to eat any plant that isn't growing out of the ground. I needed the salad video!
I'm not sure what happened to that video. But here's my newest one:
Bearded Dragon Won't Eat Salads? Tips For Stubborn Beardies
czcams.com/video/xz52kLCqKDE/video.html
I recommend buying ground wall nut shells. They sell this for bearded dragons, and it is much better than sand. It looks and act like sand, but it had some benefits! Such as; it is easy to burrow in, it's better for the digestive system if they accidentally swallow some, and it keeps heat in, just like normal sand. Cleaning poop up is horrific, but otherwise it is a great product :)!
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful.
I love the video, I just want to share that I have 2 bearded and your right and some cases when it comes to some dragons being picky with their diets, BUT my youngest dragon is strange he will ONLY eat Dubia Roaches and fact itâs always been that way I think itâs a blessing in disguise, just wanted to share that. Keep doing your thing girl. Congrats on your on going success.
Thank you so much! đ
Oh that's awesome! The best kind of pickiness haha
Elle's Reptiles....I agree
Thank you!! My parents told me I could get either a bearded dragon, hermit crabs, or a turtle and I have NO clue what to get so Iâm researching all of them so I could pick which one is best for me.
Which did you pick
Heyyyy hows everything just wanna say congrats on 20000 and growing. U deserve it. Take care and stay safe. Peace love and reptellesđȘđ€đ€
Thank you so much for always being so supportive đ„°
I have been watching a couple of your videos to help me get prepared so when I get my bearded dragon on the 19th
I got a baby beardie yesterday and I felt like I was doing everything wrong. I have a coiled uvb dome lamp and I poured too many crickets into the cage and couldnât get them out and I was scared they would hurt my dragon. He hasnât been eating and he always looks stressed and he wonât eat his salad either so this video helps
Not a Beardie owner yet but I have turtles. My vet was the one who told me crickets carry parasites. Never fed crickets since. Haven't had parasite problems since.
This is vary helpful I know itâs older but still love it
Omg 80/100 crickets? I'm so glad here in the UK we get a good supply of locusts. High protein and mine as a baby on 8 locusts a day. As.well as her veg. Still needed a decent size container though.
Love your videos! Thank you so much for this amazing information. I got my very first Lawson Dragon in December. Still trying to figure out if it's male or female lol
Thank you for all this info, im learning to take care of one called Lola and this helped so much! Even had the cricket keeper hahahaha that was funny đ I also have 2 ball pythons, baby Hydra like foot and a half and a 5 footer Lyra :) your Dragon n pythons are cute :) thx girl!
Hi! My juvenile dragon [3-4 months old] eats whole salads and around 5 crickets a day. He looks good, poops a lot, and enjoys the hunt. It seems to be enough for him, and I just realized how lucky I am that he loves his veggies.
I have had my baby for about a month. He FINALLY ate greens for the first time on his own and i no longer have to use anstringe to give him water. He LOVES collard greens and will devour them now. I learned to givr greens FIRST while he is hungry and then give him the bugs after. I love my little guy
About getting bearded dragons, especially babies to eat their salad, I've heard that fruit does the trick sometimes, as they like the sweet smell and taste of the fruit and when they eat the fruit, they inevitably get some greens in their mouth as well and eat it and then they end up eating the salad every day like they are supposed to. I don't know how well it works, adding fruit to their salad, but I figure that when I get a bearded dragon, if it doesn't eat it's salad, I might try adding fruit to it to see how well that works.
As for the lots of bugs thing, I already knew that going into deeper research on bearded dragon care. That's why I plan on breeding my crickets and my roaches. The superworms on the other hand, I don't plan on breeding, as it would only be a few of those per insect feeding, so even 100 superworms would be several months worth.
Mine isn't eating any of it and I have fruit in it so I want to know too! Lol
Thanks! Great video!
I hate it that you only have 21 000 you should have over a million but weâll get there someday
Can you do a video top five animals I would love to own!!!!!!Your the best I hope your channel grows more !!!!!!
I can definitely do an updated one đ
Thanks for all the videos! They are done so well! I bought a 2 month old beardie for my son a week and a half ago and can barely get it to eat. We've got up to 6-8 roaches a day, but it doesn't go crazy like other baby beardies I see online. Is it normal for the appetite to leave for so long after coming to a new home?
When I first got my beardie, she refused to eat crickets with antennas. They scared her and I would have to remove them for her to even get close. Was so glad when she outgrew that.
Great information
Thank you for this information
Thank you you are you're very great help I do have a four month old bearded dragon does not like vegetables just watched your video about feeding going to try that hopefully it'll eat vegetables after a while I keep watching your videos thank you so much this dragon is for a child that has autism so we're taming it and raising it for her she loves it and it seems the animal likes her anyway thank you so much hon
Thanks for this info!
Helpful tidbit for people in places where dubias are illegal (Most famously FL). You can practically sub them for Discoid roaches which are ok to have in FL (I believe they naturally occur there? Don't quote me on that). But they are very similar to dubias as far as nutrition goes. Just figured I'd put that out there if you really hate crickets but live in FL and are sad about not being able to use dubias.
Yes, definitely! đ
I never fed my Bearded Dragon that many crickets even as a baby and he made it to 9 years old. Many sites says 9 is considered to be in the old age range for them. I also impulsed bought my Bearded Dragon because I was a young kid and really wanted one I think I did pretty good since he made it to 9 years old and was around for a decade of my life.
Yea the amount they eat can vary greatly between dragon to dragon and depending on what you feed. That's why I just like to warn people that they are capable of eating up to that much.đ„°
thanks very much and i was going to get sand but nope now I'm way more prepared I made 9 pages of info about breaded lizard
I'm getting my first beardie soon... I've ordered a 4' x 2' x 2' viperia black pvc tank with a mesh lid, the shop I'm getting the beardie from said they don't recommend pvc and they said I should have gotten wood but ive already bought it due to it being highly recommended. They'll still allow me to get the beardie but I have to sign a form which is slightly worrying, just searching for advice as you seem to be the best person to ask!
I love your content and I love your accent
I'm in the UK đŹđ§ and doing loads of research on bearded dragons đ đ. Hopefully getting the main set up/tank on pay day (26th July) still looking for a baby (male Hopefully) but the local reptile store are selling tiny babies (little finger size!!) for ÂŁ150 . So looking for a breeder or slightly cheaper... Great Vlogs đ Thank you đ
Thank you so much, and good luck! đ
I've wanted a bearded dragon since I was young n started doing research n now I'm older and still learning new things will be getting one soon and I think I'm ready đŹâșïž
Go on craigslist cheaper and your rescuing a let and they mostly come with there set up
Sweety Monroe I disagree with Craigslist. In fact it's probably the worst place to buy animals in general, let alone reptiles. I've had many bad experiences with rehoming reptiles on that site as well as people I know, a lot of them that I rescued had a lot of severe health issues later on, that was not stated in the advertisement. If you're wanting to rehome a dragon, I would suggest pets4homes and/or other verified websites of the such. Or just from a local reptile shelter.
Thank you for the roach reminder. Itâs been awhile, because I lost my last Beardie in a house fire. I think I remember having to make a home for the roaches - right? I do have a new rescued 2 year old. I tried âcorkâ bark this time. I think itâs a terrible buy. Itâs either mislabeled or something is wrong because thereâs sawdust appearing. Maybe itâs cork and crickets, but it comes to a texture like sand. Before I used rocks and slate to make a hide. I think that was a better idea. Thoughts?
Great video and very true
Hi! Could help me I'm a beginner at Bearded dragon care and I don't know how hot the bulbs have to be and how that whole light, humidity system works
I learned a lot by watching your video and I went thru the same as you
It's funny that you said babies are usually pretty picky and don't eat their salads. I have an adult beardie who is still like that but that's because he was incorrectly cared for before we got him. We got our first baby bearide early march and I always had heard that babies are super picky and probably wont eat their salad. However our little pancake dude demolishes them. He eats EVERYTHING! lol I guess we did indeed get super lucky because I was wondering, did I remember things wrong or are we just lucky? He loves his bugs and his salad. He is the easiest beardie I have ever had/met. Oh also for those who are like me and live in Florida or somewhere else that Dubia roaches are illegal I HIGHLY recommend banded crickets over regular house crickets that they sell in the pet stores. My beardies love them and they seem to live so much longer, I hardly ever get any dead ones on arrival in the mail, they are quieter than the other crickets and most importantly they don't smell anywhere near as bad as the house crickets. I absolutely detest crickets because of all the aforementioned issues in the video but the banded crickets are really great!.
You can save a lot of money with a solar meter 6.5. Test the uvb output and replace the bulb when needed. Sometimes you can adjust the height of the bulb depending on your setup to get a little closer to the animal as the bulb ages. Bulbs can be doa, go out after a couple weeks, or last 2 years but you don't know that without measuring it. I hate crickets as feeders they are so obnoxious. Bearded dragons are not cheap and take a ton of work for sure.
Hi I was wondering if I could build a bearded dragon enclosure using shelf boards that have the for Formica texture on them
I recently bought a baby bearded dragon for my son and came across your channel, very helpful information, subbed right away, have a great new year. One question, when can I introduce Popcorn Blaze (my 5 year old named him that) to fruits? and when we do, what fruits do you recommend? What types of greens do you recommend? thanks for you time, Cheer from Texas.
Fruits are like a treat basically! But some are toxic like avocados. And some have too high acidity levels. They have whole lists of fruits.
Collard and Mustard greens are really good for them! Also like fruits they have whole lists!
very helpful thanks
I know I was sold that small container for the crickets too lolol
My little buddy Uni finds salad less than likable, Iâve tried but I think heâs just too interested in the Dubia roaches he actually displayed to me for the first time today that he was hungry! Came to the glass and went nuts when I pulled out the tongs, super smart but I wanted to ask is it okay to have that almost carpet like material as the bedding? I heard paper towels are okay for now but Iâm looking for a more long term solution to this problem let me know if you can thank you!
I really love watching your videos and yes I hate crickets too lol . Thatâs the only thing I donât like about having my leopard geckos lol . I did always want a bearded dragon but they are just to much work . I just got a baby corn snake for my birthday and so far she is so much low maintenance to care for lol Iâm new in the reptile hobby but so far I think Iâm more of a snake đ person :)
Thank you so much! â„ïž and yes! Snakes are definitely much easier/much lower maintenance. My corn snake is easily one of the easiest animals in my house. đ
I started giving my baby beardie salad in the morning when she first woke. Because sheâs extremely hungry when she wakes up and will eat anything . Now she LOVES salad at 3 months old.
Yes! Wonderful tip đ
I love my baby soooooo much but after this health episode we have had recently (thousands of dollars, multiple vets, wrong diagnoses, months of me treating him between 1-2 hours a day to get him well again) Iâm not sure if i would have done it. And i DID all the research, esp watching you and your YT colleagues). Not to mention my very well known breeder was incredibly unhelpful and rude when I reached out to her to see if his clutch mates were going through the same things. She blamed my husbandry, which I confirmed was an A+ with an exotics vet and expert. I think she thought i wanted my money back, but all I wanted was some insight. Vet said his toes arenât normal and are an issue due to breeding. Iâm proud of myself bc I nursed him back to health, but will likely have to continue with supps to for the rest of his life. Itâs just a LOT. If i hadnât gotten laid off from my job because of Covid idk what would have happened! Sorry for the ramble! Lol! I would also say alwaysssss take your beardie to the vet when you first get them regardless of any symptoms. And also, to make sure your beardie is HYDRATED at all times â„ïž love ya!
Oh no. đ That's rough. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, and shocked that the breeder was rude. I had to go through a lot with Zsasz at first too, so I know how stressful can be. It's good that he has someone who cares for him so much đ„°.
And yes! I 100% agree with taking all new animals to the vet when you get them, to make sure they're healthy from the beginning! đ
Elle's Reptiles i love your videos sm boo! i wish u had MORE! thank you for being such a light. May God bless you and Mushu sends big lizard hugs to you and Zsasz!
This sounds very similar to the experience with my baby dragon.
Melissa Hellmann oh Melissa Iâm so sorry. Itâs been rough!!!
Which one of your videos gives the directions how to get backgrounds from walmart photos????
So can you please tell me what i need? So i need a uvb ling tube light t5 right? And than heat lamp with deep dome dimmer switch? Some peoole use another light to immitate sun light also, is this nessesary? Or just uvb light tube and heat lamp in deep dome with dimmer switch??
thank you so much
That accent... Love it. I'm thinking Georgia Texas Tennessee or Carolina
My bearded dragon Malfoy didnât eat kale at first and I was SCARED lol
Iâm picking up my beardie today
bought a bunch of stuff for a terrarium and other odds and ends just want to have everything set before we bring one home
Hi Elle! Love your videos! About beardie poop... how do you gage cleaning it or what should I expect? Also, I held one and it pooped all over me. They said it should have set in water to poop first before holding. I want one but don't want to be pooped on! Lol
