The petsmart near me, the workers there told me to stay away from the thrive lids, coil uvb bulbs, and directed me towards being bioactive. They are exactly what a petstore employee should be.

What a great follow-up for your previous video! I was hoping you'd do one of these types of updates. It's always a good day when Chief Sweet comes out with a new video. Thank you for providing trustworthy and educational content to reptile hobbyists everywhere.

Another amazing vid! Yay! Also I looked at your Amazon stuff and the snake supplies is great, everything about it!! The looks, and EVERYTHING!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

love the videos. Glad to see your growing so much

Nahhh the second “guess where I got this outside”had me😂😂😂

Great videos man! My 7 yr old son has been reading books, watching and researching for months about getting a pet beardy and he loves your videos

“Snuggly”😂-LOL…you’re Great!! Always love your videos!!!

Actually tree limbs should be cleaned. They do have bugs, mites and other things.

I love that one of the first things you explain is the importance of uvb and heat, and how the lights in starter kits aren’t enough (honestly the fact that it’s literally alternating between nothing and 0.01 is really something o_o Especially when you consider that 3.0 is the bare minimum!)

This is the right beginner setup

Awesome guide Chief!

I felt that dang it dollar tree from the soul 😂

man, u make such a good vid

Will it work with the stackable bracket that I bought with the different screen?

I mean- backyard tree limbs being less likely to give your reptile parasites than petstore wood is sound advice IF you live somewhere (like me) were there are basically no lizards, few snakes and no snake species that live in the trees. Here there are plenty of frogs and toads. Plenty of tree frogs that’s going to be your only concern as far as wild animals that could give parasites and illness a ride to that tree (and I don’t know how many parasites and illnesses Amphibians and reptiles share). If you live in Florida though, you’ve got tons of small lizards hanging out in trees, Monitor lizards chilling in trees, giant invasive pythons and Several species of native tree dwelling snake species so Do your research and take that advice with a grain of salt depending on what’s native (or invasive) to your location 😅

I’ve been watching your vids to start learning about bearded dragons! They have helped out a ton! I keep hearing mixed things about the substrate and getting it to make yourself from Home Depot. Do you recommend for older bearded dragons or for babies with the substrate you make? I just got the same tank and the additions like the different screen, UVB strip, etc. also! Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I am planning to get a beardie soon. I wonder what should I name them?

Do we have to change the soil out if we put it in there? Also what uvb light should I use? Great video and thankyou for the tips

If you use out side stuff you need to treat it and make it safe for the animals i get all my driftwood and leaf litter from outside i do use all bioactive enclosures with live plants so you will get random insects from lowes dirt or home depot same as plants but ya add springtails and isopods if you want a fun enclosure that keep you involved with your reptile def try bio do your research but i have def enjoyed the live plants and my reptiles seem to absolutely love it and thrive so well. I wanted my reptiles to feel as much as in wild as possible and with the cleanup crew not alot of clean up maintenance

Hey do you think you could do a video over uvb requirements for leopard geckos or ballpythons

I literally bought this today as I'm preparing to get my beardie in about a week. Thank you for making this video I was suspicious about the UVB working> Never going to petsmart again

If you really wanna make things easy put your lights on a timer there cheap and sooo worth it. And always have a thermostat installed also

just discovered you but your really good

Do we need to put any of those little clean up critters in there? How often do we need to change the substrate?

Yo bro I’ve been watching your videos for 2 months now in prep in getting a bearded dragon and I want to say you are the best person when it comes to advice for beadies thank you you have helped me so much i also wanted to ask I’m struggling on substrate as i live in Australia it’s hard to get products like fertilizer free soil and stuff like that so i have this plan so far My enclosures about 5x2x2 and these are the materials so i have: Horticultural charcoal 5l Peat moss 5l Coco coir 30l Jurassic Australian sand 18l Sphagnum moss 150g Play sand 20l Leaf litter Is that a good plan and if so should i mix it all together in certain quantities of course or should i layer it with certain materials or if you think i should get other things and get rid of other things. Thank you so much for helping me and thousands of other people.

My top is a wire grid , but the holes are pretty big. Would that still block UVB

Hey, im trying to find the link for the new screen in your amazon list but i dont see it

Great video! Do you know if lilac leaves are safe for bearded dragons? I know they're good for tortoise's.

what length UVB lamp would you recommend for a 40 gallon?

It looks like you put the substrate a bit higher in the back than in the front of the tank, is there a specific benefit for that?

We unfortunately bought this starter kit last week. I have a question about cleaning the tank. We had read about them eating the dirt & causing impaction so we thought the carpet was the best option and easy to clean (my husband used to have a snake that he used that for). How do you clean the tank with that substrate & how often?

What size tank do you recommend for an adult bearded dragon? Where would I find that tank for purchase?

Could a 4 ft x 1.5 x 2 work for a beardy it’s a glass tank

So do I need to upgrade the UVB or can I use this one it comes with?

How often do you change substrate?

Hey what if you’re not sure how to setup the decor like I’m not sure how to set up the basking sot right can you help

Should i clean the top soil i bought from lowes

Do you usually turn the lights off at night or leave them on all the time

im worried about the soil tho i heard its only for tropical lizards and it can harm the bearded dragon

Can you do one for leopard gecko

12:20 lmao

❤❤❤❤ wow🎉

Is it normal for bearded dragons to spend a lot of time on the cool side of enclosure ?? Just recently my beardie only basks after she eats and hasn’t been wanting greens. Help please!

Another thing abt rocks don’t throw them in a fire pit learned that when I was 8

I bought top soil from Home Depot and as soon as I got my bearded dragons he ate a stick from the soil. Now he’s not eating and no poop yet.

🙋🏼‍♂️

hi

So basically don't use anything except the enclosure.

I wish I had watched this video a week ago. I'm going to get me a leopard gecko, and I thought this kit was a good idea 😢😢😢

First

Whats your discord i got some questions
