I never knew that. Thank you.

A whole new meaning to “please do not turn off or unplug your device while installing”

I thought he was gonna die from drinking too much and my anxiety rose throughout the video 😂

"You can kill your bearded dragon when giving them a bath. Observe."

I didn't know this. UNTIL my son did this to his. I'm not (or wasn't) a reptile person. It took my son years to convince me to get him one. Well, one day this happened. He comes to me bawling his eyes out and his dragon has what looks to be snot coning out of it's mouth. It's completely limp and it's beard is black. My heart sank. Not only for the dragon, but my son wanted him for so long and had taken great care of him. I took Dart is his name, and wiped his mouth, put my mouth on his and gave him cpr. Yep, I never thought I would be there in that moment trying everything to save this little guys life. It was over 5 minutes of actively doing this. I thought he was gone so I sat him down. Tears are running down both of our faces. Then, Dart appears to have thrown up. Tons of water came out and he took a big breath. I started bawling in relief. We still have him now years later and he's now huge! My son tells all of his friends about it to this day whenever he shows him off. I'm now a reptile person.

"you can kill your bearded dragon when you give them a bath" Phoenix: im about to die for demonstration purposes

As someone who owns a bearded dragon and did research, and I mean lots of research, I still didn't know this. Exotic animals need people willing to always learn about them. Thank you for sharing this

My left brain: that’s really interesting information My right brain: one gulp, two gulp, three gulp, four

My internet dropped right at the end of the first sentence and I briefly thought that was it. "It can die here!" *Leaves*

"You can kill your bearded dragon by giving them a bath" while putting it in the bath almost made it look like the follow up would be "watch how" 🤣

This is such a good example of why pets - especially exotic pets - need an absolute TON of research before taking them on. It drives me crazy to see people take on creatures with more complex needs without adequate research. I've never heard this before. I've never had any reptiles but really appreciate the education, hopefully this will save someone's dragon one day. Thank you. I personally have rabbits, have had them for 20+yrs and what a lot of people don't realise that they are also considered exotic pets with *very* complex care needs. They can also die from having a bath, albeit for very different reasons (it can send them into shock) and should never ever be bathed. But so many people don't know this or ignore it. Many have killed their rabbits this way. It's so incredibly sad and entirely preventable. Thank you again for the video, I'll pass this on if I ever know of anyone getting a bearded dragon

"you can kill you bearded dragon when you give them a bath." *puts bearded dragon in bath*

The whole time I was like bro why the hell did you put him in there then! I'm like watching his little eyes close & feeling like I'm already at the funeral & then you're like "DONT TOUCH THEM AFTERWARDS OR THEY CAN DIE". You got me.

I don’t have a bearded dragon, but I feel like you just saved a little life somewhere.

I am astonished and so genuinely glad and proud of people in the comments who performed CPR on their dragons. It works on all animals!

bro was gulping that water down like it hasnt drank any for months💀

Thank you so much for this. My bearded dragon would obsessively drink water and it caused a near death experience at least once. No vet could give me an answer on what was wrong or why he obsessively drank water in the baths, but they never told me to not disturb their drinking at all. I would sometimes try to remove them from the bath because I was worried he’d choke and die from drinking too much water and the near death experience only solidified that fear. How ironic. Edit: Yes, I googled it. When google had no clear results and said that obsessive drinking could be caused by anything from acute dehydration, parasites, disease, etc I took it into my vet for an earlier than usual yearly wellness exam and fecal expressing those concerns and presenting video evidence to the YES reptile specializing vet. This vet works with others at that clinic and has seen patients from the local zoo. Please stop assuming that I didn’t bother to do research or that these vets were trash. I also presented footage of a head tremor in my beardie and the vet went above and beyond to share that footage with even distant fellow vets to try and figure out what could be causing it. I no longer live in that area and thus don’t see that vet anymore but assuming all that from a youtube comment I made thanking OP for making such a useful educational video isn’t helpful to anyone. Cheers and have a good one, y’all.

I like how the little guy is just chilling drinking some water peacefully while you talk about how his specie could just outright die by doing that.

This is what I needed to know. Now I’ll go cook dinner.

I’ve never owned a bearded dragon and can’t see myself ever owning one but this was really informative and my brain will forever remember this over information i will need everyday of my life. This actually is cool and i love learning new and good facts

This is top notch quality content, I don’t own a bearded dragon, but people like you who share these unknown things about animals are the reason why the internet can be such a good place. Thank you for putting time out of your day to share this important advice to animal carers all over the world 😁

"You can kill your bearded dragon when you give them a bath" *Starts taking notes*

I have given my bearded dragon 10+ baths and have offered water countless times and have not seen him drink water even once. Just lick the water off his face when I pour it onto his mouth sometimes. Super weird. I give him blueberries and crickets and he has seemed very healthy and active for almost 2 years now

Instructions unclear, my bearded dragon is still alive.

I was over here thinking that “they’ll drink so much they will drown themselves so ensure to pick them up” until I heard picking them up would drown them Never planned on getting a bearded dragon but this information will be useful one day

Owner *explaining dangers* Bearded dragon: mm w a t e r

“ you can kill your bearded dragon if you give him a bath “ Him giving the bearded dragon a bath 😨💀

Hes drinking that water like he shut down the bar last night.

I was like “HELP HIM, I THINK HES DROWNING” then I was like “Good thing you didn’t touch him”.

"Bearded dragons have a valve that allows them to breathe, and they seal this whenever they drink so water doesn't go in their lungs." Now if only humans could learn his power so I would stop accidentally inhaling my water, that would be nice. Edit: thank you to every Bill Nye that felt the need to sound off in the replies like none of you have ever choked on something before lmao.

I started panicking after you said baths can kill while you were sticking him in the bath I thought this was a homicide

I've always left mine in the bath until he starts trying to climb the walls signaling he wants out.

“You can kill your bearded dragon when you give it a bath” Me knowing nothing about them: *interesting*

I've been keeping them for 20 years and never knew that. Holy freaking shit! 🤯

This seems like one of the easiest animals to accidentally kill

He's so cute, look at the Lil guy takin a Lil sippy

This is actually super important. I’ve owned bearded dragons for roughly five years and I had no idea this was a thing despite research. Genuinely thank you so much

I worked at a pet store for 5.5 yrs and never knew this. Thank you for the education, I'm going to have to reach out to my old coworkers and let them know to spread the awareness!

I swear bearded dragons are the most vulnerable pets

Important information to remember when bathing your bearded dragon.

Note to self: If I ever get a bearded dragon, set up a way out of the bath so he/she can exit on their own time xD

Short summary: Don’t touch or pick up your bearded dragon while they are drinking water. Wait til they are done

I’ve been watching and learning about reptiles for a couple of years but had not heard about this. Thanks for the info.

he bouta die from fall damage if you leave him that close to the edge like that lmao

I love little channels that talk about pets like this to warn others with the same pets. I feel like so many people might've thought back to this vid and actually stopped themself from a heartbreak.

Ngl I thought the title said “you can kill your bearded dragon” and that was it I was bout to go crazy

"You can kill your Bearded Dragon by giving them baths!" *proceeds to put in bathtub*

My beardie one time either drank too much or whatever, but his mouth kind of bubbled up and it looked like he was choking on the water, it was so scary. Another time, in the bath, he pooped so much that he went pale and limp from the sheer size of it, which also scared the crap out of me, no pun intended.

I’ve always wanted a bearded dragon as a pet, so this is very useful information to have. Thank you

I love how she's casually falling asleep

I love them. They’re so cute and the have the best personalities.

Thank you for this info! As someone who will never own this thing in my entire life i found this helpful

"Wotha good... Mmhhh refreshy" Bearded Dragon of chaos-

I volunteer at a reptile rescue and have given beardies lots of baths. I didn't know this, but I wouldn't even think of picking them up until they're moving or asking to be moved. I'd freaking choke if someone grabbed me while trying to take a gulp!

Looks like the water was getting him high. Lmaooo 😂😂 his eyes got smaller and smaller with each gulp. 😂😂😂

anybody else feel like we just watched a reptile die?

R.I.P PUFF SAUNDERS

“You can kill your bearded dragon by giving them a bath.” Me not owning one: Tell me more.

Thank u for posting this now I'd be lying if I said I was just going to believe this without looking it up however it will atleast make me think every time I do that moving forward...

I’ve read a lot of articles of bearded dragons that I now know everything about them, when I was 9 I got one because my dad got me one. My dad spent countless hours researching about bearded dragons just for me. A couple of months later we got the new baby dragon, I named him ZUES because why not, but then we found out it was a girl, we call her many names but I call her Athena because why not. She has gotten a lot bigger since I got her and still to this day I have never made that mistake, but I do make mistakes some times, and I’m perfectly fine with it, I learn from my mistakes and you will too so reminder: don’t make the same mistake twice. Anyway thanks to all of these animal and reptile lovers for helping all of us out and giving advice about our reptiles, you never know what could happen

The 2% of people watching this who actually own a bearded dragon: "Pfft, obviously"

this is actually very important info bearded dragon owners should know great video man 👍 I didn't know this

I Didn’t know this a few years ago and picked up my bearded dragon after he had been drinking for a while. Super scary stuff. He almost died but thankfully he was able to regurgitate up the water and get back to breathing like normal again. Thank you so much for the info! I wish I would have known this before

I had heard about the risk of interrupting their drinking before, but I legit thought that bearded dragon was dying in the water since it's eyes began closing. It looked like it was fading fast.

Lmaooo, i was saying "pick him up, pick him up.... that's enough.... thinking that he'll just never stop"

That’s good to tell people that. I couldn’t imagine how many of these little friends passed away due to people doing that on accident

He looks so happy in the water it’s so adorable, just “mmm yes bath feels nice and taste nice too”

Bathing bearded dragons resemble a firmware update

That is actually some really nice information thank you

This worked on my nephew too, thanks for the tip.👍

Good rule of thumb in general, is to never physically disturb a creature while it drinks. (ofc that includes humans :D)

Bro was enjoying that water fr

“You can kill your bearded dragon in a bath” *proceeds to put his bearded dragon in a bath*

They only gulp like that if they're super dehydrated or parched. Their environment should be misted every morning and evening so they can lick the dew from their surrounding environment. They're desert animals and aren't accustomed to drinking standing water. But should always have access to some water in their tanks. As long as it doesn't cause the air in their tank to become too humid. They also get hydration from leafy greens, which should be a part of their daily diet.

I never had any intention of getting a bearded dragon, but this for some reason came up on my reccomended and people like you are doing a gr8 bloody job sharing vital information like this

Don't disturb a drinking bearded dragon. Got it.

when i heard "and that is why" i groaned, but then i was pleasantly surprised

The amount of bearded dragon owners in the comments who didn’t know this is scary but hey life saving tip in that case

I always wait a min after my beardie drinks or eats before I pick her up just to be safe but this is def good to know lol had her for 8 years

You saved a lot of lives with this one. Thank you. ❤

Why was he so thirsty boy drinking like he hasn’t seen water in 3 weeks 😂

I had no idea.. Oh my gosh, thank you! I gave my new baby beardie his first bath yesterday. Luckily I let him sit in long enough that I did not have this issue. Thank you. ♥️

The way he starts and pauses after saying "you can kill your bearded dragon during a bath" sounds like he's giving permission

Everyone here is talking about safety of the dragon (which is good) but man that bearded dragon makes it look like thats the most refreshing water in existence the way he slowly closes his eyes and keeps gulping lmao

"Did you know bearded dragons can die in baths?" *Proceeds to put bearded dragon in bath*

I’m so glad this came up in Shorts. I own a bearded dragon and I would be heartbroken if anything were to happen to her accidentally

It's cool how they drink kinda like my snake. He doesn't drink every day but when he does he'll literally drink for like 5-10mins straight, it's amazing.

"You can kill your bearded dragon when you give them a bath." "And that is why you can kill your bearded dragon if you pick them up right after they're done drinking."

Imagine being the person that had to figure this out the hard way

Bearded dragons are Australian. They’re were introduced to the USA in the 90s but still are an Australian animal.

I was over here thinking “I pick my bearded dragon up too early every time” Then I remembered I don’t have one.

Bro sounds like he’s talking from experience

This is why you don't put them in a pool. The chlorine will kill them.

SO TRUE, I picked up my girl once while she had her head down like this cause I thought she was drowning herself and she started coughing and gagging

“You can kill your bearded dragon when you give him a bath.” Unusual iguana tips and tricks, but dually noted.

Talk about a PSA, more people should know this.

This bearded dragon looks severily dehydrated. No wonder he was drinking like crazy

Oh wow I didn’t know that either, see just little videos like this is really helpful to pet owners & could save their lives, I don’t have any pets but if I did at least I would know how to care for them, thank you 😊
