- Today, I go over my "techniques" for working with grumpy or defensive bearded dragons, and how to eventually get them to a fun, friendly lizard that can get along with just about anyone! What are your tips for getting reptiles that bite, hiss or just run away to actually become a friend of humans?

Hey, good job on the videos. I just wanted to share a thing I tried and that you might have the opportunity to try way more than me. When watching a film or any activity where you don't really move, get a blanket, and put the beardie on you, under the blanket. If it's tired it might work better, but globally the purpose is to make him sleep with your scent, then waking up already on you. They get that if you didn't attack them in their most vulnerable state, why would you now ? Of course there's still the work to make them not scared of those damn moving hands, but it helps kinda fast with handling / being on you. Once again, I've not as many beardies, and not as crazy as this one =)
You should’ve renamed it “How to Tame Your Dragon”

ayoo
I tried these techniques, and my beardie yelled at me in Australian.
Lol!

did u scare it by reaching ur hand from the land down under?
@@dstldthrlrmov-.-3256 no, he chill. He is not angery, it's just a joke
@@dstldthrlrmov-.-3256 oooooh! Just got the joke!
Alex: “this is a female”
*immediately after*
Alex: “HE”
They are a bearded dragon. They don’t understand the concept of gender. Pronouns don’t matter.
I do this with my female dragon every day. I've had her for 3 years. Hes a good boy, she really is.
Greyson Grey but they have biological sex, duh
Kighao Higoroshi yes but they don’t really care what you call them in English because it’s all meaningless noise to them. Same thing with dressing up your cats/dogs and naming pets in general.
@@CreepyDillpickle I cackled at this comment
Alex is the Bob Ross of reptiles
Jakari Brant underrated comment
Why is that so true
only ross' fro was fake
"When you look into their eyes and all you see is fear, its kind of cute"
That is what psychopaths say
Well I mean, bearded dragon's eyes are very beautiful and...
Okay I don't know what his thing with, "It's kinda cute," though, it is kinda off
You have misquoted him and clearly do not understand the defining factors one must possess to be a psychopath. The actual quote is: "Basically they (the bearded dragons) try to act all angry and scary, but in reality you just like look into their eyes and then you just see fear and it's kinda cute, it's like awww and I don't know you just kind of feel bad when it's like they're just so innocent they're just trying to stay safe while they freak out like this." Which demonstrates empathy and compassion in a non violent display, the complete opposite of the characteristics of a psychopath. You do not deserve those likes based on a misquote and a labelling of someone with such an unjustifiable term.

@@idontcare490 same
SAME lol
“Telling them to calm down doesn’t work” no, no it does not 😂☠️ I’m always misled by how “dog-like” my dragon is...until he doesn’t respond to my voice commands 😂😂😂
This is me with my bluey. He loves cuddles, he scratches at the glass for attention, etc. He is the damn golden retriever of herps.
But about every four days something happens where I am like, "oh. Not an actual pupper. Still a reptile. Yup."
My beardie seems to know some words. It's weird she's strangely intelligent. >.>
Oranges' n' Grievers Beardies can learn to associate certain words with certain things. However they don’t really respond to tone of voice the same way as mammals do. Like I can meet a random dog and say “here Buddy, here Buddy” in an inviting tone and even if the dog has never learned that, they will likely rush over to me with their tail wagging. I’m sure reptiles can respond to tone to a certain extant (and loudness for sure) but definitely not as well as non-human mammals.
And yeah it’s a good idea to train your beardie to respond to words! I don’t have a beardie (yet) but if I did I’d probably say “good morning” when I wake up, “hello” when I approach the enclosure, and something dumb like “yum yum” before I bring out the food lol.
Cat Splat that’s so funny, because I actually have the opposite experience with mine! 😂 he doesn’t know words, but he definitely knows when I’m being extra “cutesy” and baby-talking him versus when I’m being regular...or even if I’m not in a great mood (which isn’t directed at him-he will just noticed and he won’t really wanna be touched or handled)
Honestly, reptiles are sooooooooooo individualized that we all could’ve each gotten a dragon from the same hatch and they will all respond to the same things differently. It makes them all so cool! No wonder there are hobbyists haha
Thank you all for your responses (: they were great to read! Love hearing about people’s beardies

GoHerping titles a vid: "This is How I Tame Angry & Scared Bearded Dragons"
Brian Barczyk titles a vid: "MAULED BY A REAL *DRAGON*!!! MY WORST BITE EVER - I ALMOST DIED FOR REAL THIS TIME!!! SO MUCH DRIPPING GUSHING BLOOD THAT WE ALMOST DROWNED IN IT!!!!!!1!!11!!"
So glad I don't follow that guy, I watched two of his videos and his attitude to his reptiles were so obviously unprofessional and harmful to the animals in his care that I immediately unsubscribed. All I can think is he has many kids, teens and adults who simply don't know what decent care of reptiles looks like. Even his behaviour towards his family in videos was stomach-turning. Glad I never have to meet him.
@@MsCherade9 I couldn't agree more. He is massive cringe. I have also heard people say that the animals they got from him were riddled with mites and other health issues. Not surprising given the state of the drawers he shows on camera when he messes with a snake.
He is the worst kind of drama monger and I really loathe him. But let me warn you - his fans will come after you in the comments in a way even Jeffree Star fankids can't match up to.
Used to follow him and enjoy his content till I realized how full of sh*t he was and how terrible his husbandry is. So I can confirm this is an accurate title.
😂😂😂👌🏾
Accurate lol
I’ve been bitten by a Beardie and it’s definitely respectable. It happened during feeding, and certainly was my mistake, but I suspect that the nature of the bite would’ve been different if he was agitated.
Same. Mine was eating a strawberry, and he bit me on two fingers twice. Its like someone pinching you lightly.
It. Hurts.
Lol my beardie bit my toe once. It didn't really hurt but it shocked me.
I was bitten by my dude too on accident when feeding him and it kinnnndaaaaa hurt but not really haha
@@amandapatterson3935 ITS ALWAYS THE STRAWBERRIES TOO
Thanks for showing the good and the not so good in your vids. After seeing them I really believe I can and will own a reptile.
yay! and thanks :)
Ill stick with snakes! No claws
Buy from a good breeder and you wont have to worry about beardies without good socialization
@@sandramorrison99 ball pythons would like to talk to you lol
I have two rescue dragons, one is so gentle and loving. The other is pretty wild. It's a lot like adopting a dog, they're all unique and their backgrounds are all different.

CrazyAdriy 😂
WTF
OOF YUP
*she
shit meme
back in February i adopted a milk snake that was nearly dead, was only fed every few months, was constantly laying in a tub of stagnant water and HATED people being near her.
i decided she was the one when i first got her out and she just didn't have the energy to really do something about it, so the next day i took her home and ever since ,maybe 2 months after i got her, she has been an absolute sweetheart, only whips her tail about when you make her jump, and to this day has never bit me on purpose (only when she misses her food).
all in all she's lovely to work with and i don't regret getting her for a second. I just wish she was never in the situation she was in before and never had to experience almost dying of starvation.
i also had a similar experience with neglected beardies who are now demanding to come out for a cuddle every day and running around chasing the dog so they can have her toys (i have 2 females and they love each other, they are sisters after all)
Swagger McShanks what tips do you have in taming and how long did you take
@@j0sephsun for the snake or beardies?
I feel like a chump with my beardie and hermet crab
@Jennifer watch all the videos you can before you get it! Everything from what you feed at what age, cage temp control/setup, everything will help! Also pleaseeee buy from a local breeder or an online breeder. You will not want a "petstore" dragon, TRUST!
That's Awesome
If only my beardie didn’t give me death stares every day 😩
Oh_Lydiiaaa same😂
My girl when I'm late to put her to bed
Mine has hated me from day 1. He’s a rescue and was in awful shape when I got him. Missing most of his tail and about 5 toes. He bites me constantly. I have tried these techniques and I’ve given up. His enclosure is dope with lots of enrichment but I’m bummed I can’t really take him out. He’s so savage he chases the cat.
Avery Harte sorry to hear that. You seem like a kind person. How is he doing now?
@@analogkid4957 health-wise he is great. He has finally started eating greens. Turns out cactus was the game-changer. He has grown substantially and is a good size. Behaviourally, he still hates my guts. I am able to bathe him pretty well but getting him in and out of the enclosure is almost a guaranteed bite
I picked out my beardie because he was the douche in the group. Love taming animals!
It’s good that you did that, because most won’t buy animals like that. So you may have saved that little beardie and gotten him a home!
do you have any suggestions that weren't included in this video?
I love how he figured out the bearded dragons gender but kept calling her a him
@@Zaque-TV omg why would you say that
They can be whatever they want to be
It's the beard... humans are biased towards beards
Юрий Марков Calm down pal
Юрий Марков he found the beardie’s sex..... not it’s gender. There really isn’t a way to find it’s gender unless it specifically tells you.
@@antolimakrov5925 lmao
"You go girl" -- I'd listen to a Go Herping podcast of soft-spoken encouragement
My dragon is like this, he came from a really neglectful home and my ex roommate who owned him did a horrible job at taking care of him after “rescuing” him, so thank you I needed to watch this cause he is VERY “aggressive”, literally will chase me around my room even tho I’m like 100x his size he also REALLY hates it when I do my makeup 🤣🤣
It's a lot like parenting, if you show your dragon that they can push you around they will. Try showing your hand to them with food in it so they can connect your hand with food and show you are not a threat. Leave the dragon be when you place its food down to show you mean no harm. Soothing words and slow actions when a dragon is angry is the best way to go. Gently pet its head and body until it relaxes a bit more and do that at least once or twice a day presumably after feeding. It will take awhile but your lizard child will come around. Hope this helps a little! Been trying to do research about dragon behavior and this is what I scrounged up😅😅
When you realize this was 2 months ago and is probably useless help😅😅😅😅
@@hunternyx4462 hi, this is helpful! I just bought a baby beardie (maybe 1 month old) and I need help. I can't tell if he like me or not and if I'm handling him right. It's been just over a week so I just started the bonding process so any advice will help!
@@rachelmatthews1157 lol that's funny I just got mine this week! His names hollow and hes very shy and jumpy I've been so freaked out about it because hes also still very weary of me😅 have you tried taking him out of his terrarium and holding him yet? Or have you only been petting him in his home?
@@rachelmatthews1157 it's going to take about a month for your baby to get used to you and stop being so flinchy but he should warm up to you. I usually take my beardie out once a day, twice if hes in a good mood. And I'll let him relax on me for about 15 minutes. I'll pet him consistently and he usually falls asleep and refuses to go back into his tank afterwards lol. I find he tends to back up sometimes when hes scared if he does that keep your hand behind him so he dosent fall. Dont put your hand over top and force him to stay put like the kid in this video did. It will only freak him out more. Keep petting him and quietly talk to him if hes getting a bit upset. Should calm down if he acts up to the point where u cant keep him in your hands put him back into his tank and slowly work your way back up to holding him by petting him. Just show him your love and he will feel it and trust you. Hope this helps a bit.
I wanna see an update video of what she’s like when she’s tamed
If she’s not sold by then idk
When my beardie opens his mouth I just pet his beard and then he's completely fine
My ball python hatched in April and he’s a little jumpy noodle. He’s false striked at me a few times :(
Did you hatch him? Because if not maybe his breeder didnt handle him
Dont be afraid they bites aren't that bad lol
Ty for your advice but I’ve gotten him to calm down :>
When they're babies, don't even worry about the bites. A papercut would hurt more. My ball python is a little skittish still even after months of having him. So whem I pick him up, I let him know I'm there, and then set him in my lap and allow him to calm down and uncurl before actually picking him up.
Once your little snake pal is slithering all around they're officially in Friendly Mode.
Show him who's the boss! Boop him on the nose and say no firmly lol I used to do this with my bearded dragon when he wouldn't "listen", he turned into a very good boi and smart too
...Exactly my experience with my beardie. After three years he and I have an understanding, but that understanding is mostly 'don't touch me and we're cool'.
As someone who chills with wild caught lizards pretty much every time I go outside, I actually do the same thing to help calm them down and be less stressed.
I Love how informative you videos are. you've helped me help my reptile to actually thrive, instead of just survive. for that, I thank you
Watching you crawl around after a huffy dragon was literally the best I've seen all day haha,, love your videos
I don’t have or plan to get a bearded Dragon but I still love watching your vids and supporting the channel
Thank you for specifying angry rather than aggressive 💜
Bearded Dragons are adorable when they're angry- worked with a bunch of angry ones that were rescued. I helped calm them down... No matter how angry they are, I've found overall, they're one of the easiest ones to calm down, and one of the easiest to avoid being bitten by-
I have been bitten by large adult ones, not as bad as like, getting pinched by a hermit crab that won't let go- lol, it's a pinch- there was a little blood, but the pinch is what I felt more than anything- he bit, and released- he didn't hold on like Tokay Geckos do.
Give me a large beardie bite over a large tokay bite! (Though I'd prefer not to be bitten at all of course!)
I love calmer animals, but I'm stuck with my lovely Red Ear Slider, so I guess I'm stuck with a wiggly girl forever haha
I got bitten once because I fed him and he accidently bit my finger, but it didnt really hurt, just for like 2 seconds, cause they have so much power in their jaws, but I didnt bleed or anything, so ... its just a little jumpscare lmao😂 but not more 🙃
I had mine chase a tomato for a bit. Ended up biting on my finger. Drew a lot of blood...
@@Labyethan oh shit! Didnt know they have SUCH a power in their jaws holy moly
Mine got my finger instead of a hornworm.....ouch ouch ouch doesn’t feel good.
@@candylanes6462 ikr
Great vid. Wrapping them in a blankey also helps.
Face hugs are the ultimate goal for taming a reptile.
5:04 "But it's also nice to not bleed everywhere." I dunno, but *I* thought it was funny.
As a women I can confirm it is not very fun the bleed everywhere
My beardie sat in her tank and watched this with me 😂 she’s only bit me like three or four times but only Bc I was hand feeding fruit and she’s losing her eyesight in her old age 😂 she’s never broken skin though
Does it hurt when they bite you?
@@muumi4u yes, my teachers beardie bit the crap out of me because her beardie could smell my beardie on me. It bled for about half an hour.
When can we see the obese Cali kingsnake again? I loved it.
My dragon bit me twice when I first got her because I reached in without warning and I didn’t even realize she bit me. It was the TINIEST pinch and I looked at my finger and saw the calcium residue in the shape of her bite 😂
also really weird amount 7 months into having her, she was on the floor then just randomly didn’t recognize me when I went to pick her up and puffed her beard out and opened her mouth. Kinda freaked me out cause it was the first time I saw her like that. I just threw a small blanket over her and picked her up. Then she recognized me again. So odd. Kinda cute when they’re mad tho 🥺
Waiting til they go to sleep to get them out and cuddle has worked with ours! But as you've said, it might not work for all beardies.
You are a hoot! I really enjoy watching your videos. My grandson, 18 yrs old, took in a young bearded dragon rescue. Poor little thing was so bad off that it lost a right hand and foot. I'm so proud of my grandson cause Miss Lizzie is now thriving and so happy. You provided a lot of excellent info for him. Now I'm hooked too!
I thought he said “you walk up to the enclosure and they immediate poop in their mouth” and I was like, ummmmmmmmmm
I find joy in taming feral cats or animals that have lost trust in humans. It such rewarding work and I recommend for any animal lover to volunteer at your local shelter.
Fun story one time I got bit by one of the sweetest beardies ever while feeding cause he can't aim and he actually bit so hard he cracked my nail at the base and me bleed a little. It was not ideal. Do not recommend.
I'm happy my boy (seems) to love me. I just recently helped my sister, who rescued an adult bearded, socialize her. She wasn't aggressive by any means, but she certainly wasn't used to being handled. She's the sweetest thing now. Gosh I love beardies!
My daughter got bitten by our bearded dragon. we love him so much.🦎
i genuinely cant imagine beardies as being so hostile 😳 my bearded dragon licks me when i put my hand in his cage, i know that’s not nessacerely a sign of affection but still he’s so innocent
The bio teacher I aid for actually has three beardies and the newest female, Tiana, was super fun for me to work with because she was alot like the female shown in this video. But the sad part was she was not well cared for nor feed and was super dirty. I started by handling her for a couple hours at a time everyday coupled with leafy green feedings and giant mealworms. I did this for about a week before giving her a bath and after the first bath she really started warming up to me and I got to say that was probably the most awesome part. Now, a couple months later, she growing some fat and eating well! Good job with this female!
I’ve been bit once by my bearded dragon but she was trying to attempt an escape and I had to grab her and that’s why she bit me. But he bite itself wasn’t enough to break the skin
Another way of taming reptiles (lizards usually) that I've heard of is to get a sweaty sock of your own and put it in one of their hides so they associate your scent with safety and comfort. I'm trying it with my angry Amazon tree boa. It's bites feel like a crackhead improvised their used needles as a shiv.
PangeaGamer don’t put sweaty socks near any type of reptiles.. 💀
Disgusting
@@aliyah1bg it was a method I read about, it's worth a shot
@@EarthsGeomancer Considering that were talking about animals that don't really give shit if they shit where they drink, or if they spread a shit and piss margarita on your arm, a sweaty sock is the least disgusting thing in regards to this
PangeaGamer It’s unsanitary.
please do a video about angry & scared leopard geckos
my boy stares at me dead int eh eyes like he's going to end my life
I second this comment. My leo is an A-hole and seems to be protective/aggressive
I feel like we lucked out..
My son FOUND a bearded dragon in the woods by our house (they are most definitely not wild on Alberta Canada!!) He's the cuddliest thing I've ever held.. nuzzles up to our necks and can just hang out for hours!!
I definitely want to get a crazy one for our next beardie though!
Mad bearded dragon’s mind:I don’t know what I’m doing here
Mad bearded dragon:LET ME GO,LET ME GO!!!!!
I would be careful with the Savannah monitor and other ones, never know if they might eat it.
My beardies where cautious even when Savvy was a little baby.
My beardie is only a few months old, and I've had her for not quite 2 months, but I've been having a hard time trying to get her used to me. She's so jumpy, and I've been letting her tantrums win and leaving her alone more than I should!
I watched this (and more!) videos before I got her, but it's so helpful to come back and rewatch to get reminders. Thanks so much for your guidance!
I’m over here trying to get my green iguanas to not deathroll, but great content.
But does it still tailwhip?
matt R the tail-wiping has gotten better but one of my iguanas has minor skin rot at the tip of his tail. Hopefully it gets better soon but I might have to amputate a small section of it, it should grow back fine.
@@trustymilkshake
That sucks I'm sorry to hear that
this was very helpful thank youuu, i’ll be showing him some gentle parenting. i had just been leaving him alone a bit thinking i’d annoyed him. 😅
My beardie is the sweetest thing, until you put her in a bath. Then it's chaos 😩
During all my time researching prior to actually getting a boa, I always heard from people that the babies are fiesty and sometimes nippy and crazy before you work with them. At first I was apprehensive about it, but after reading about taming techniques in reptile forums and other places I started to get on board with the idea. The thought of actually calming down a defensive neonate after patiently working at it sounded pretty rewarding, and I had always thought that energetic babies were cute - just look at little blue tongued skinks, so adorable! Maybe I just got lucky, or it was due to the breeder I got him from (I'm not sure if they interact with the babies before selling them) but my boy came home calm and curious and though he's definitely gotten more comfortable with me over time, he was never frightened enough to attempt to strike me or even hiss. As I'm thoroughly in love with reptiles, I'm sure I'll end up getting another one down the road, and we'll see if I end up with an individual requiring a little extra effort to become tame. Thanks for the tips, another great video!
Usualy take it? Okay... so I have this big lizzard that ate my dog and um.... wondering if you would take it? It's like 17 feet long?
This is just a joke no dogs where harmed.
Lizards freak me out. I'll stick with snakes
sandramorrison99 that’s backwards af
Someone who understands jdjfjejdjd
The cutest moment was when he rested his cheek on the beardie with the sweetest smile, but said, "This is scary." hahahaha!
HOW HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN BIT?
(My sister's bearded dragon is very, well, ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. He will bite anything that moves especially fingers thinking it's food. Tongue aiming for it and all.)
in dis verdeo Awex teaches us how to turn a angwy naughty nope nope into a sweet loving noop noop who's snoot you can boop wen u in da moop.
I’ve bin bitten by won if you look up Florida community day school u see a picture of me on google holding a bearded dragon and they don’t hurt when they bite
me too, but then again, he probably thought my finger was a worm in his veggies
When I first got my beardie it was very underweight and angry, she was a 10 inch juvenile and was comfortable being held after a while but it took a long time to pet her, I would consistently hold her, and just sit next to her (which is surprisingly effective in trust building). And now she is a perfect angel.
I tried and it worked the first day he wants to cuddle, bruh its insane a sub for that.
They tried to look tough but when you look into their eyes you See fear just enjoy it The quoteof 2020
What a great thing emerald scales and you do! I got my first bearded recently and pet stores 100% do not prepare people for the level of care these big lizards need. It's amazing someone like you puts in this great work!
The only time I got bitten by a beardie was when my dragon thought my finger was a blueberry when I was hand feeding them
Bearded dragon bites don’t hurt just feels like some did a minimal force pinch on your finger, my bit me while feeding him
I’m “watching” this with my angry beardie
My bearded dragon is a rescue and 10 years old but she has never been handled much in those 10 years, she lived in pretty bad isolation with no stimulation and her mate died. So she's had some beardie Depression for a while.
So, I'm basically raising a baby who never wants to stop being cuddled, and will throw a tantrum if I put her back. She mostly just wants to snuggle over my heart. If I'm out for half of the day I'll come home to her pressed against the glass and banging on it.
If I walk past my bedroom door she jumps up to be let out. She just gets so excited to be taken out of her enclosure but literally just to snuggle. Had her for 2 years now and she's not changed one little bit from day one. Though to be fair the first year was even worse for not wanting to be in her enclosure, and I'd have to fight with her to put her back to warm up.
Now she just sort of clings on and hits you if you put her back, but back then she would climb on my back, my head, and wouldn't get off. In order to remove beardie from my person, I would just wait until she fell asleep or I let her kick herself into a tantrum until she tires out and I can get her off lmao.
You could try setting up a non-cage area for her, if you have a room that can be dragon proofed. I have a bonded pair that are free roam. They have a table between my chair and my partner's chair with cave, food dish and UV/heat lamp. I have it covered in stone tiles because they are easy to clean and do help a little with wearing their claws down. Both are really good at getting down from either chair and back up again when they want. They also have a windowsill they can get into easily for real sunlight on nice days. The male likes to sleep on the back of my chair. Sure, you'll have to clean up a poop once in a while but you would have had to anyway. I find that if I put down some newspaper they will use that to go potty on. Paper plates and junk mail also work nicely.
I don't recommend this at all, but when I had one beardie start to get an attitude and open his mouth at me, I'd stick a piece of collard in his mouth. xD He'd eat the collard and I guess forget why he was even mad in the first place. After just a couple days he quit. It was just amusing to me.
“By far the hardest part is not dropping or throwing the animal” I LOST IT 😂😂😭😭
You are amazing! You spend so much time and money to save dragon's lives! I feel very happy for all the dragons you own.
Hey, i have been a fan for a super long time. If you remember me, i had the snake with dirty heat pits. You helped me get them cleaned and sorted out. I just wanted to comment to tell you that i have been watching the whole time, i just got a new channel so keep up the good work and i love your videos. Do you remember me?
It seams that there is something wrong with your pancake
My old beared dragon back in California named rosy,she loved hesd rubs
I adopted a leopard gecko maybe over a year ago (probably 8 months idk I suc at memorizing) She has ALWAYS been super fearful and almost bit me a couple times. She was heavily abused before she was taken to a rescue. She was attacked by a cat and lost her tail, she never had the correct heating, also someone took her from a home in attempt to "rescue" her and ended up making it worse if not just as bad. They put her in a shoe box with play sand and fed her... apples... or tried to. They finally gave her to a LEGIT rescue! Now that I have her, shes been alot more social, still doesn't enjoy being handled but shes been a good girl :) I adore her so much...
"Dont get bit"
My beardie when I'm feeding him:
I was wondering if you have an opinion on the bugco bug box feeders
From some research, the bite of a dragon feels like a velcro.
when I had a beardie she was a bit angry and had her mouth open but whenever she opens her mouth i shove a piece of lettuce in there and she eats it but she doesn't like lettuce that much so she stopped opening her mouth
Hey man congrats on almost 200k! Huge milestone
thanks! 900 to go
My baby beardie keeps running from me when it’s in it’s cage and opening it’s mouth to me.
And biting me.
Needless to say... it’s taking a while.
Bro. I got bit multiple times, and now I have a HUGE crack in my fingernail. There was so much blood. It is painful. I yelled so loud. DONT GET BIT! TRUST. ME.

Hi, I have had a bearded dragon for about a year now and every time I put my hand into his tank to try lift him or go near him he turns towards me and opens his mouth, what way can I go about trying to lift him? He will let me pet him put closes his eyes so I don’t think he enjoys it
Be careful these suckers can pack a big punch when they bite lol.
Actually this is just 1 way to tame your dragon. Some other ways would be, Don't show fear. They will thrive off the fact that you might be intimidated by your dragon. Always show them the palm of your hand and use their name BEFORE going in the enclosure to get your dragon. Hand feeding is a great way to bond and tame. Letting them roam and explore outside of the enclosure. You have to make them feel safe as they are just using the only skill they have and that is to bite. Please don't ever pull on their tail, that isn't a good thing.
Wait, it just occurred to me that we use the same shelving!
A beardie bite is more crushing than sharp because they use their jaws to mash bugs and break small animal bones. Although the teeth sink through skin like butter and leave some pretty deep but narrow and quick healing punctures. You definitely get more bruising though and that takes a longer time to heal.

I tamed my bearded (arias) he was a baby and rlly mean and would bite everyone. But he never bit me, I tamed him by taking my finger and lightly slap his nose and pet his beard. And picking him up and putting it on ppls shirt. He got use to it and stopped...
Hey, I‘m thinking about getting a snake but I have never seen nor touched one IRL and don‘t know where I can „try it“. I live in Germany, Hanover. If anyone knows where i could, please let me know. I‘d also like to speak to someone from germany just so I can ask how it works because I only know American reptile youtuber that are good. Please contact me if you can help!
Okay so this is EXACTLY how my little baby acts. She’s still young. Maybe 4 months. I think she was bought tiny at a pet store and not handled very much. I swear the only time she likes me is when I give her a bath. She has bitten me several times already. But we have made progress. I love her dearly and would never give her away because she’s feisty but she’s certainly not what I expected out of a bearded dragon. Haha.
Maybe next time get to the point quickly? It's a little irritating and boring (no offence) waiting for you to show how, I mean the first 4 min of the video is just the dragon trying to launch at you while you smile and nervously laugh.
My beardie's been chill from the moment I brought him back home. While I understand the satisfaction of taming an animal down, it's nice to just be able to take him out and hang with him pretty much whenever.
Personally I've always been taught not to grab under their belly but to support their chest and waist
My bearded dragon doesn’t open his mouth he just try’s to make himself bigger and runs
