    I'm glad you mentioned having money set aside for vet bills, as I see so many posts online from people who have a sick exotic pet and haven't done this and so they can't afford vet bills. I would also add that anyone considering an exotic pet should make sure they have an exotic vets local enough to them, as that's another thing many people fail to look into before getting a reptile and it's sometimes only once they become sick that their owner realises they can't find a vet to treat them, as most vets don't.

His bulb went out a month ago, they only feed him crickets even though he is 4 years old, he is in a 20 gal enclosure and he is rarely taken out of it.

    I got my beardie from Petsmart, and I don’t recommend! She’s very healthy now, and we did work very hard to make sure she developed no health issues while she was young. She does have many weird kinks in her tail due to her origins. They sold her while she was far too young (2-3 months old) and many I see being sold there now are even younger. They keep water bowls in their enclosure and keep several different sized babies in the same tank. The tank is super small as well. Just dont buy animals from petsmart.

      @Marcelo Delgado reptile expo, breeder, reptile retail (there are stores that sell reptiles-only, not like petsmart), and believe or not, cragslist. A lot of people sell theirs because they are moving, or cant longer care much for them, and most of the time they are healthy. Oh and of course, online reptile stores! (although they tend to be more expensive, not including the shipping).
      But petco doesnt automatically means bad beardies. They do have a bad reputation, and its very very true, 90% of petsmarts are horrible with reptiles. But that doesnt mean your local one is bad. You just have to personally go and check them out. One of my two beardies is from a petsmart, and he is very healthy, always has been since I got him 3 years ago. He did have a very very mild case of coccidia (worms) but it was waaay after I got him from petsmart, I took him to the vet, got a 1 week medication, and returned to normal, not like he was sick and not eating, he looked and behaved completely normal, and the vet said he almost didnt prescribed him the medication because it was a very low levels of coccidia. But anyways, my point is, check out your petsmart and look for this things:
      1. Do they house a bunch of beardies in one tank? red flag
      2. Are they in small tanks? red flag
      3. Are they in loose substrate like sand? red flag
      4. Are they literally 1-3 weeks old? (yes I've seen that and its aweful they do that) red flag
      5. Are they lethargic and not very active? Including not wide open eyes and not very alert? red flag
      6. Check each individual beardie, how they behave. Are they basking or just chilling in a good straight posture with their head up, are they in good weight, what have they been
      feeding them and with supplements or not, check the temperature in their tanks and see if they are good or not.
      And maybe other points that I'm forgetting to say.
      If the stores that I said above are not available to you, or cant buy from them, do go and check your petsmart, you never know, their beardies might just be in good condition and healthy. Mine was, I made sure to check everything before I bought him, and I don't regret it one bit. He is awesome and has been a lovely beardie since day 1 at his permanent home.
      I just realize your comment is 1 month old now, so I hope you made the right decision and bought your beardie!

    I've been waiting for a general care guide for beardies from you for ages! So glad we finally got one. I've had my boy for a little over two years and my aim is to eventually make him a bioactive enclosure (but I'm not in a steady place in my life right now/am moving frequently so it would be more hassle than it's worth). I also have trouble keeping his humidity low enough and keeping his temps high enough, and he is a picky one and doesn't want to eat his salads. I have a food scale that I use to monitor his weight though, and take him to annual checkups to make sure he's doing good. I really love you channel Tyler, keep up the good work! :)

    I love the video, I had no idea I had other options such as a 70-90 gallon enclosure. I keep watching videos that everyone says buy a 120-gallon enclosure. They don't seem to understand that not everyone has the luxury of having space for a 120-gallon enclosure. I feel yours is very doable.😻

    Loved this vid Tyler, thank you! I am a new beardie owner as of this year! I have wanted one for a long time and then an opportunity to rescue this adorable pint sized beardie came along and I knew it was my time! I have been watching ALL of your videos about bearded dragon care and husbandry and I love all of them, they've been super helpful. I love all your vids in general haha. It would be cool if you could do one about getting picky beardies to eat! Tips and tricks on how to make sure they are eating enough and eating all of the nutritious foods they need. I have tried a few different things but he thinks he's the Queen of Shiba and loves to be tong fed and thats almost the only time I will get him to eat his greens. it would be nice to not have to always do that, but I will do it if I must. Also it would be helpful to know what the signs are that your dragon is overweight and underweight. Food for thought! Thanks Tyler!

The age range I was looking at was around 5 months to a year old maybe (but that's just a small preference once again) I just want to get one that is coming from a good place not just a retail pet store or something of that sort. And I live in a small town so theres really not any obvious place for me to be looking that I know of either way it's going to be a drive or shipping to get one and I know that I just need help at finding a starting place...
