When i got mine a few years ago i never knew about not touching them for the 1st week. I took mine out alot even let my kids hold her and she was always chilling. Till this day shes good thriving and loves to be held. She always give me those snuggles when i have her on my shoulder
different dragons have different personalities, so yours was most likely more docile!
I have had mine for 3 days, and he's also super chill. I have been picking him up, but I normally have him on my chest, and then I allow him to choose to stay or explore my bed.
Honestly, I think I might have found a social gem because he's already running onto my hand. Last night, he was settling down for bed and I gave him some pets. He closed his eyes and melted into my rubs.
I don't think my guy is stress at all by me
Lol… I followed some of these rules. I did not handle him the first day, but by the end of the second I began to hold him a bit. I increased out time each day. At two and half weeks in, he his now sleeping on my chest. I feel happy that I got a very nice dragon that bonded very quickly
I still can't get over that bearded dragons head
fr though
I love that! I want one!!
Threw me off😂😂❤
Lmfaoooooo I was so confused at first
Oops, I already broke the first rule, lol.
I got my first beardie 3 days ago. I have been picking him up, then letting him make the choice to chill on me or explore my bed while I talk to him. After day 2, he already wanted to sleep on my chest and started running onto my hand.
Idk if he's built differently or if I just did a good job bonding with him.
I still don't understand that rule. Personally, my beardie was given to me already tamed and really handleable. I gave up on the rule on day 2 or 3 & didn't notice any stress-related issues
It’s not a rule you need to follow most these people only say that to sound smart and to make it seem like they know what their talking about which they don’t
Bearded dragons are perfectly fine on sand if they get enough uvb/uva
The sand will past thru them
A scientist did a study on where they live in the wild 90% of the substrate is quartz sand which is what repti sand is
You can hold them the same day you get them as long as they are not stressed which means running from you hissing at you tail whipping etc
I touched mine as soon as i got him to get used to people,he was not stressed at all! 5 months later he loves and trusts me😁!!
Same, and now he sleep on my chest no longer than an hour tho because I get antsy. It’s been 6 days in total and he is so trusting of me, eats bugs from my hands sleeps on my side of my face lol he’s so perfect!
Mine was bought from Petsmart and he’s been very checked and is 100% healthy
Thank you so much for your videos! I binged your videos when I got my bearded dragon! A year later... his name is George and he is literally the chillest dude I have ever seen. He has never even gotten mad at me! He loves looking out windows, exploring the living room, and climbing onto my couch! Thank you do much for helping me get my best friend!
5:13 this trick is insane, now even the carnivores beardies also get some veggies
Thanks for this, I’m so excited to get my own bearded dragon :)
Thanks for the advice. Soooo glad I looked for advice 😅 apparently I needed it
I had to be very hands on and intervene with my beardies on day two of their arrivals
My first beardie Spock was shedding, and she shed her body suit down to her legs and it was hanging off of her, she was left neglected with coccidia and pinworm at a petstore - she sharted very offensive parasitic turd all over herself and it got trapped in her stuck shed; she panicked and ran it all across the viv trying to run away from her own shart; we had to over familiarize very early and she was handled and bathed and her shed removal assisted; but I think she definitely appreciated that over the trapped turd and dirty viv alternative 😂
My second one was just last week; naturally the first thing you do is get a sample tested; the poor bugger is riddled with pinworm and coccidia (5000 EPG + occasional occysts) and was imported from Spain to here via flight and ferry.
He's also very tiny too; his third day here and already being taken to the vets and his new home in quarantine mode with his new viv furniture stripped down and viv deep cleaned daily💔😂 he opens his mouth defending his rock thinking I'm going to take it away! And I also have to give him his medication dose daily for the week - but we're getting there and it's better than prolonging illness over the settling in phase! His beard lightens to grey already and his intestines are definitely relieved of discomfort now
He also scratches at the viv to wake me up in the morning for food or to come out and hang; to shart on my bed! ♥️😂

Shart Dragons
I think I got super lucky with my bearded dragon, the pet store I got him from took really good care of him and made sure he got lots of attention. My bearded dragon was immediately very comfortable with me which I was shocked about. But I also got a juvenile because the specific store I went to won't sell them any younger
😂you are so cute!! And Funny!! I love your videos!! Getting my first baby Bearded Dragon this summer ❤️
Yo dawg! Can you please do a video regarding worms/parasites and supplements to prevent all that.
Im watching because i intend to get one in next few weeks
Very good information and thank you for sharing! A lot of this I kind of figured though always good to hear from another. I mean to me this is basic common sense.
I lost my sweet boy Monday due to complications from atadenovirus. 😢 To everyone who purchases a new bearded dragon, please, please have your vet test for this virus. There is no cure and it is highly contagious. There are many different initial symptoms most common is stargazing. My poor boy from early on was always getting parasites, had coccidia, upper respiratory infections. Yes my set up is correct. Linear T5HO 10, 105-110 basking, 25-30% humidity. Come to find out in April of this year, he was aspirating food and had pneumonia and severe inflammation in his gut and a massive amount of saliva. She did a PCR test for Atadenovirus and it came back positive. He was never around other beardies except his tank mates at the pet store. I treated him with injections of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories as well as gave him supplements serapeptase, milk thistle and dandelion. Beardies with ADV have weakened immune systems so the get sick often. My boy did ok until 06/04 when the thick, sticky excessive saliva was all over his blanket when I woke him up. Vet advised me we could treat him again however with his inflamed gut, aspirating, and weakened immune system, he was just going to keep getting sick. I made the most agonizing decision of my life that Sunday. He was put to rest the next day as I was not going to let him suffer.
These big chain store pet shops are only concerned about profit. They do not care where these animals come from. They do not have the knowledge to advise anyone on the proper requirements. The breeders for them are the equivalent to puppy mills.
Instead of buying please consider adopting. So many need a loving home. If you do decide to buy, please buy from a respected breeder.
If you already have one beardie, please have them tested for ADV prior to getting another as well as testing the new one since it is highly contagious.
I'm so sorry for your loss of such a good companion 😢 thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
And you know what time it is! We gotta zoom in!!!!!😂
Just got a hypo translucent beardie 🥰
Thank you for this video!! I get my bearded dragon tomorrow and I'm so nervous. 🥺🥰
I'm assuming you've got yours by now, I'm getting mine in 5 days. Do u recommend anything to help nervousness? 😂
Just about to get my bearded dragon
I brought my beardie without doing all my homework 😂 but I’m knowledgeable about reptiles it was my birthday present 🎁 2 myself ❤
Lord I enjoy watching your channel and your content is hella funny 😂
I have some questions on my beardie how can I reach out to you other than RUclips 🤔
I got (little bug) bearded dragon from pet smart 😅 but I’m animal lover and excellent caregiver to them. I watch his activity for over hr before purchasing pet, watching behavioral extremely critical, if one chooses to purchase an animal from a pet store( giving advice)
don’t purchase exotic animals from them
My beardie is healthy and doesn’t shown any signs of illness
🤷🏽♀️ just play be safe 💕
My Question 🙋🏽♀️ lord. I’m rehousing old antique cabinetry gorgeous wood it’s 4ft x 18 inch enclosure it’s DYI is that enclosure perfect size I’m also going bioactive with this enclosure 🤔 ?
My beardie has to be rehoused asap he’s living in 10 gallon 😢 I know..but it’s temp he’s living arrangements has been under 3 mos 😢 he is showing signs of glass surfing, he’s gotten a lil aggressive, he’s been very healthy, I spot clean husbandry 🧼 every 2 days ..❤
My dragons were rescues, first day I had them they sat on my chest and went to sleep after I fed/water/bath
Thanks for video, Just got new beardie. Looks like a baby maybe a total of 6" tip to tail. Question though: Can I switch him to small superworms instead of crickets. I hate dealing with crickets and trying to locate ones that hide so they dont sit in his enclosure..
Hey Lord Elion so basically yesterday on june 5th I decided “hey. I should turn my baby bearded dragon’s night light off” today on June 6th I checked on their enclosure and their humidity was on tropical so I took him out and put him in a towel so did I do the right thing?
I’ve had my bearded dragon for a little over 2 weeks and he still hasn’t shed. He eats well and drinks water everyday but nothing has happened
just got my beardie today and been holding him and taking walks already 🤣
how is it going keeping wise? chill?
Thank you i got no clue what im doing with this lizard.
I'm adopting a 1yr+ bearded dragon. It's coming tonight. My buddy is playing middle man. I've never actually seen him. The guy is getting rid of it because he can't handle it. My plan is to let it chill for a week and slowly start trying to tame him. I guess he hisses when you get near him. This is going to be a challenge and a half.
We got our baby bearded dragon 2 weeks ago. Last Wednesday he started to refuse food. After 2 days I got him an appointment at the vet.. He has pen worms and was dehydrated. I've been feeding him a food paste from the vet and been dropping water on his nose to get him to drink. He is still sleeping all the time. Any tips?
I have a "bearded dragon" he really likes to soak in the water in the cage, is that okay?


I’m planning on making a bio active enclosure. I was wondering if they don’t eat the bugs I feed them. Can I be confident that the lizard might go after the isopods or whatever bugs I keep in the soil?
What type of veggies are you using to feed them?
Thanks for all the tips but my bearded dragon has been laying behind the fake plants i got it when my cats around is that normal?
I haven't had a reptile as a pet since the early nineties. I have only had cats since then. If i do get another reptile this is probably the one I'd get.
my dragon eyes dont look like your dragon mine the inside is black but around it is light brown I got mine 2 months ago her tail and feet are not the same color as her body i am really worry
Lord, my Smaug sleeps with me all night sometimes, with a heating. She loves to snuggle
When BD bite do they have poison? because I going to get my first BD
So quick question for y'all, if my cousin kinda scared him by acting like a hawk in front of me but not intentionally at my beardie and he got scared and a lil traumatized would that trauma carry to me? If y'all have no answer I'll run an experiment and report in a year
Got mine yesterday and I had to touch him to move him, it didnt want to leave my arm to go to the tank. I also got it to eat 4 roaches for me.
I’m getting my for free because I recently lost my pet snake and he is out exploring and my fathers friend want to give his bearded dragon away because he doesn’t think he’s taking care of him that much so he’s giving him to us. I’m not sure if I need to leave him for that weak because he’s still going to be in the same tank.
When i get older i want to be a policeman is a bearded dragon a good pet for a policeman?
1:15 what on gods green earth is that comparison 😂😂😂😂LMAO
Where is Wilbert? I love Blue but I miss seeing Wilbert!
Do you have any suggestions to get my bearded dragon moving more she hasn’t been active and moving around?
Sometimes bearded dragons just don't like to move around, especially if they are brumating. Although if you are worried and it has been going on longer than a week I highly recommend going to a vet to get it checked out just in case- hope that helps!
Hey lord Elion I got a rare baby bearded dragon for 30$ because they misplaced him in the normal section lol
If it hissing what to do
What size tank do baby bearded dragon need mine is very small so I put it in a 20 gallon
3 months later and I hope u see this lol but I just got a bearded dragon too 3 days ago and he’s small too and also have a 20 gal tank with a 75watt heating light so I hope I did good with what I have now.. how do you have ur set up? Or did u had to upgrade the tank and lights?
hey man, i raised my first girl after I saw her looking sad at a petstore and folded, she did wonderful and shes grown to be a healthy huge and happy dragon. just folded and did the same thing, this time this gal was a little older i'd say 2 months. my heart broke seeing her in that awful environment stuffed with far too many lizards so i got her. she has been beyond stressed these past 4 days. regularly basks, moves, has BM. but she will not eat and is looking far too skinny. i know its early but im worried and never faced this much stress with any other beardie. tank and lighting is all up to par i genuinely think shes just pissed and not adapting the best. any help is appreciated.
I just got my first gal yesterday, so I wish I could help :,).
How is your lil lady holding up now? Wishing her well
*How to train your bearded dragon*
My bearded dragon is 4 months old now 😅
I just got an 8 month old from someone that didn't want him, it is possible to tame him?
Yea bearded dragons are the most easiest reptile to keep and tame
I haven’t purchased one, I’m thinking about it. I have no idea what to do.

He just gotta learn you bro. Y’all still strangers a lil bit. He gone come around 🙏🏾 their bites are harmless btw. I hope it didn’t hurt. We’re new to this too. My husband and I just agreed to let our kids get one and he had a good first night. Settling in well! I’m down to trade tips if you want 🤷🏽♀️
