Hope you enjoy it! Thanks again!

More to come!

@@TikisGeckos yay

Don’t listen to this guy please go get a bigger enclosure minimum for an adult is 120 gallons so 4x2x2. You can start a baby in a smaller enclosure but they really need a bigger one

@motomischief2160 yes I agree with you.

Thank you!

Wow its benjamin the tort! I watch ur vids 😁

@@pawsandclaws12 Awww, thanks!! 😊💕

Glad you liked it!

Keep in mind that a 55 gallon isn’t big enough for an adult bearded dragon, it’s far too narrow. Adults need a 4x2x2’ enclosure minimum, and larger is ideal.

@@nightinggale6470 oh i understand i don't plan to keep it in this forever just until he grows out of it.

This is not true. Not sure how many dragons you have cared for and how many bearded dragon experts you know but we have over 15 years experience with these animals. A bigger enclosure size certainly does not hurt for adults but for the average keeper a 40-60 gallon enclosure is fine depending on the size of the animal. Please do your research next time you comment something like that.

Lmfao I don’t need to do my research. You never know how big or long they will get cause they can get a little bigger. Again. Anything younger than a juvenile. Needs a 40-60g. But juvenile to adult need a 120g. Cause of growth , since they hit that within a year. Growing really fast. Years of experience, means nothing. Trust me. I run into people that have 4-10 years etc. and they still make mistakes. Regardless, on what job they do. That’s a fact. In fact, idk why you even brought that up tbh. I was just talking about the tank and I didn’t like how it was specified so I left a comment and exit out. Simple.

@@TikisGeckos “experience”doesn’t necessarily mean right sorry 🤦‍♀️

@@TikisGeckos I disagree with you as well, just because you have been doing something that long doesn’t mean things/info don’t change.

If they dont Kno u they will bite u

Hope you both are still close friends ❤❤

this is literally me too lol

Honestly, I do not know! But there are lots of bearded dragon food charts online that will tell you

It really depends on your area. I have had alot of beardies that do not go into brumation but we are also in south florida where we have pretty constant warm temperatures all year. It can be around 3 months but I have seen it vary through out the years. We just follow the animals behaviour and adjust the lighting period accordingly. For the average keeper I would say just keep taking care of your dragon the same exact way but understand that it will not have the same appetite as it does when its not in brumation. You can also shorten the lighting period from 10-12 hours to 6-8.

I'm in North Carolina and mine goes in to brumation for one to two months. He comes out as big or bigger than when he went in...I don't see how. He actually went in this past winter for five weeks, came out and ate some veggies and a bunch of dubia roaches and went back in for three weeks. We use him as a groundhog....lol

Yes natural UVB is great for them, just make sure you are keeping an eye on them

Similar but not quite the same. Uromastyx eat 99% veggies and could handle hotter temps. We will make a video soon

Thanks guys!

Reptile carpet, paper towels, newspaper, tile, pebbles

@@sadieb377thank you I needed to hear that lol since i currently do have a baby one as well with a carpet

@@michaelgarcia6210don’t use reptile carpet, it’s a breeding ground for bacteria and they can rip their claws off in it. If you don’t want sand use tile or shelve liner.

Same...most breeders say no water as long as you're feeding them correctly. I haven't had a water bowl for over a year and mine grew fast, got fairly large and seems to be very healthy.

I’ve had several beardies and one of them actually did drink from the bowl. That being said, I always offer just in case. It’s not hurting anything.

@@jameswilliford5478beardys get very thirsty

I’ll end the debate right now. I can tell you I have a no water dish bias BUT after years of me testing theories and methods out, I found that if you have an enclosure that’s 120 gallons or bigger, you can actually get away with having a small water dish on a cool side of the enclosure. I noticed it doesn’t have an effect on humidity and when they want to cool off or thermal regulate, they can jump on a cool side to eat or drink. Bearded dragons aren’t dumb creatures. They know what they need and will find it. If they want to get off their basking spots to cool off they’ll find a way. One thing to note is material of enclosure. Some hold humidity more than others etc. I for one keep my bearded dragons in 5x4x4. One per enclosure.

No you do not need to leave a heat or UVB light on at night. As long as your house stays around 70- 80°F.

@@gabbymay4514 even less than 70 is ok

@@gabbymay4514 well, even if temps hit 55F it should be fine since that’s how low it also hits in the wild.

Normal standard in the US is 4x2x2 as well. This guy is just wrong.

40 gallon works just fine. Not ideal but stop acting like it’s the end of the world. The footprint doesn’t get that much bigger where it’s going to completely change their life if you move up 20-40 gallons.

@@rickymorcus8962 if it’s not much bigger of a footprint than it shouldn’t matter to get them the proper 4ft or bigger tank :)

My adult male lived his entire life in a 40 gallon and he was happy and healthy. If I got another beardie though I would use a 4x2x2 because it's just better to give them more space.

My tanks are 5ft long and 3ft wide. I have 2

​@@lisawakelam8189how tall? 2 feet or more?

A 4x2x2 is almost 10 square feet more than a 40 gallon tank. You go from 6 square feet to 16 square feet. That’s more than double the room……. Just because you could live in a closet doesn’t mean it’s right.

Greater minimum enclosure sizes are arbitrary and unenforceable standards to begin with. We are too focused on giving the animals what we think they want vs. what they actually want/need. People should remember that a larger enclosure is also actually going to be harder to achieve the optimal temperature & humidity in compared to the size/biomass of the animal in them. You can have a larger enclosure, but still be getting all of your other parameters incorrect; in this sense, this is creating a false sense of "doing better" just because you have a larger enclosure. A well-designed 40 gallon for a bearded dragon, which gets ample time out of the enclosure anyways, can be a better enclosure than just throwing one in a 4 x 2 with just a dollhouse and hammock and saying "it's good". There's also the cost/barrier to entry which is the reason a 40 is still suggested. Fish keepers aren't starting out with the $5K marine saltwater setup; they are every mom and little Timmy getting their first Tetra or goldfish from Petco or Petsmart for $50. We don't want kids & families getting priced out of the game before they can even get started. As a hobby, we need to start moving away from this "cookie-cutter"/one-size-fits all approach to everything and go back to addressing the needs of each specific species, and even individual animal.

No…..

I actually have a baby and currently only have those carpet looking as a floor thing but don’t know if that’s a good thing to have or not

@@michaelgarcia6210carpets are not recommended as they harbor a lot of bacteria and can trap their claws.

ok thanks

ok random person from the internet

Dont listen to the guy with 15 years of experience with bearded dragons, listen to this random person on YT because she is surely an expert

@@TikisGeckos40 gallon was the norm 15 years ago when you started. Literally every expert with the same amount of experience as you now says 120 gallons is the minimum for an adult.
