I am from Australia and as a kid my friend's mother loved Shingleback lizards so much she had over 20 living with them they didn't have enclosure for them so the lizards would walk around the house, her mother would take them outside to get some sun, if you saw her mother outside in the garden there was always lizards with her, us kids called her The Lizard Lady.

my soon to be 8 year old son has been begging for a bearded dragon after holding a baby beardie and falling in love with it. This sounds like SO MUCH WORK. Thanks for all the info. I'm going to have him wait until he's older and can be more responsible for its daily care and feedings. I can't believe you even have to feed the food. Very admirable for you to do so much work.

Thank you so much Elle, this video came out just in time for Repticon , where we purchased our first baby bearded dragon!!!! Now to due some shopping !

Love how you have an entire playlist for beardies! I’ve been doing a ton of research for the last 6 months with my littles as we build our dream enclosure for our future beardie!

Thank you so much for all of the info! My baby beardie will be here Thursday and I've been watching all of your beardie vidoes and you provide so much information and tons of useful tips! You're awesome and your girl is so cute!

Amazing! Video! And love the outtakes at the end 😂 had my little linkin for about 3 weeks now and have followed all your advice which is great and I’m all the way from the UK!

Thank you. I am so glad to have found your channel. We bring our baby home in a few days and your channel, along with a few others, have helped me be far more confident in bring the baby home.

Yes!thank you so much for bringing up shelf liners. I have a full grown beardie that I have had for a year now, and we tried a lot of different kinds of substrates until we discovered shelf liners while shopping around. Nobody had ever recommended them and now me and my beardie love the cheap,safe and just all around great option😄 we also had MASIVE issues with crickets getting underneath substrate, and you can stick the shelf liners down around the edges and change ....maybe every 2 to 3 months. Also has easy clean up! Would recommend 👌

@nightinggale6470

Shelf liner releases fumes when heated and doesn’t offer any burrowing enrichment, which is very important for beardies. I strongly recommend switching to a suitable loose substrate. A deep layer of a soil/playsand/clay mix is ideal :)

As long as their husbandry is correct (temps/heating, hydration, etc.) a healthy animal will be able to pass loose sub no problem. They live on loose terrain in the wild, they’ve evolved to be able to handle it.

For future reference please don’t buy animals from PetSmart, they get their animals from mills and are not a good company to support. You need a multivitamin without d3 as well as the calcium.

I love your videos. I have raised many different types of lizards. I have raised green Iguanas, anoles, collard lizard, Sudan plated lizard, and a few other kinds. So I decided to try my hand at beardie dragons. I bought a baby a few days ago. I have it in a 40 gallon tank with heat and uvb/a. I live in a colder climate so I am using a space heater to raise the temps for night until the ceramic bulbs come. So I have a question. My baby beardie is eating 10-15 little crickets a day. I am doing feedings three times a day. It is also pooping a lot. Is this good enough? I have noticed the last few days I have had it, it is eating more and more. It actually ate watercress and dandelion greens on its own. I also hand feed it bugs. I want to help the lizard to learn to trust me. Thanks for all your research. I also ordered Dubai roaches from Dubai dude and I used Elle is the checkout code.

A 40 gallon is the bare minimum for babies and reptisoil is absolutely safe along with other proper loose substrates for bearded dragons of all ages

I don't do fruit very often maybe once a week. Has been so much fun watching her grow it had been years sents I had one.

Hey there! Just a couple questions. Im planning on getting a baby beardie soon. However, I work full time and will only be able to feed it in the early morning and then when I get home (8hours later) if thats okay? Or should I get an older beardie?

How about setting up with half tile and half carpet? Paper towel in potty area? Hadn’t thought about parasites in carpet. I do like have live plants= succulent, cactus or air plants in the tank, we are trying a bio active crested terrarium.

I'm getting a baby beardie next weekend and I'm super excited! I decided to name them Bramble because well.. Why not? I'm looking forward to having a reptile who likes to be out during the daytime unlike my other animals (leopard geckos and frogs). Edit: I'm going to the all maryland reptile expo. :3

@nightinggale6470

Calcium is necessary for the health of their bones (and to prevent MBD). Multivitamins are also necessary for their health. Supplements should be without d3 since they’ll get all the d3 they need from their UVB. Reptifiles has a good care guide with more information.

In your video you said the you have to feed you baby bearded dragon in 10-15 min increments and I was wondering if for all those increments do you use calcium? Love your videos

So I do have a question my beardie is dark brown almost black colour when he is in his tank but when I hold him for a long time he would turn in to a light brown colour and I don't know what this means I haven't fead him any kriekets to get any parasites from if anyone can maybe help me out he is still a baby only 4-5 months old?

I’m thinking about getting a bearded dragon :)

Hey, I got handed down a bunch of stuff for my bearded dragon and I thought I checked everything but my dumb *ss forgot to check dates on the supplements. I've stopped giving it to him for today (getting fresh stuff tomorrow) but do you think it'll affect him at all with it being out of date? He's had two rounds of insects with them and yesterday's fruit and veg with it mixed in as well. It expired late last year. I've looked it up and people don't seem to think anything bad will happen but I don't know if they have reptiles themselves or what their experience is so.. I don't know I figured I'd give this a shot and see if you've got any advice 'cause you have reptiles and you're informative while also making sense and kinda keeping it simple which is super useful and awesome.

Hi! I was never interested in reptiles until I literally found one on the side of the road yesterday near an elementary school. He is full grown so I have no idea how old he is. I took it to Petsmart and got all of the things. I am a little concerned about lighting so im going to go watch your video on lighting. Right now he has a uvb and basking light but it doesn’t stretch the full length of his 40 gallon tank.
