Bearded Dragon Care Guide - Beginners Guide 

On the hot side part of the video I had a typo. The Celsius for hot side should be 26C - 32C. Not 90C 😅

I’ve watched what feels like hundreds of videos on bearded dragons in order to learn all I can, this one video has answered all of my questions. Thank you for such an informative video.

I’m a first time beardie owner and was heavily misinformed before getting him. I was told he’d be inexpensive, low-maintenance, and easy for a college student. The rescue made their starting kit out to be much better than what it actually was. I’ve only had him for a week and I’m working my butt off to correct all the mistakes I made in the beginning and give him a happy life. I really appreciate this video!

i live in the australian outback and what i found best for my bearded dragon was literally just going outside with a shovel and gathering fresh dirt from the wild and my bearded dragon loves it

I'm adopting my first bearded dragon baby from a breeder! I couldn't be happier with this! He knows I go through stress in my life and fighting for my freedom and everything! And I know it's a chance I'm unable to pay for the dragon! So he offered to ship him to me for free if I do not win my freedom! I could not be happier with him! I'm getting a little boy from him! And I can't wait to see him in person!

I just was gifted my baby yesterday. I’ve wanted one for YEARS!!!! I’m so happy and ready to learn all I can

Adopting a beardie from a friend in a few days, super excited to get back into keeping them. Thank you for the helpful refresher.

NOTES FOR ME AND ANYONE ELSE: .120 gallon tank .Heat lamp, LED lamp, UVb lamp .UVb lamp important .40 gallon need 12 percent UVB or ZOOMED 10.0 UVB .UVB helps manufacture vitamin D plus calcium . Beared drgaon needs a 5 UVB .DO NOT USE COIL BULBE use tube style .100 Watt

Legend, last dragon I had was 15 years ago, just refreshed everything!

Just got a re-homed 2 year bearded dragon and so glad i watched this video. Extremely helped out alot. Looks like i need to get more supplies. ❤

Thanks for all this jam packed info. Just got a second beardie. My first one this young though (7 months) RU-vid wasn't that big when I got my first one so this helped alot. Just subbed 🤙🏼

I just found you and I would like to thank you for explaining things SO AMAZING WELL!! AAAAND you don't make me feel stupid or guilty if I'm doing something wrong! I have subscribed and will be watching more! Thank you so much!

Wow, really clear straightforward information on the lighting. Thanks man. Usually you have to look in multiple places to get all the answers you provided here.

Extremely informative video man! I'm about to get a dragon and all of the articles I was reading online were very vague. Your video cleared up all my questions and I look forward to getting my dragon!

I am definitely subscribing to this channel! I am getting my first bearded dragon very soon (July 11th) and I’m glad to know all of these things about bearded dragons. I have never had a bearded dragon and I don’t know anything about them. I have been researching about them and I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel.

I just rescued a bearded dragon. My girlfriend already has one so has helped me start in caring. But after this video I'm ready to go all in and make this a hobby and passion.. You covered so many important questions i had thank you. Definitely subscribing for more

i’m so excited i’m getting my bearded dragon tomorrow for my birthday. thank u for this video helped me alottt❤️

well i'm just about to get a 1 month old bearded dragon in a few days and I was taking some extra notes and this video was so informative and I got so much more notes haha, definitely gonna sub

Love your video! It’s be awhile for me since I have kept bearded dragons looking to getting back in! Your video makes this so much easier lol.

This video is so simple yet very informational. Thank you for making this video.

A 120 gallon tank sounds insane I've seen perfectly happy beardies with 40-50 gallon tanks, and plan to take mine out frequently, for handling and play

Really great video, I have recommended inexperienced beardy owners to watch this. Cheers.

This is seriously great info. I just lost my 10 year old dragon 3 nights ago 😭(actually,I bought him for my son) I really don’t know what happened to him but I wish I had done more homework a lot sooner, there was so much we were doing wrong and I didn’t know it. Absolutely heart breaking to find out we weren’t really giving him everything he needed. He was fine and seemingly healthy a few days prior and then he found him upside down in his tank and very weak. I thought he may have been dehydrated so I went and got some pedialite and syringe fed it to him 1-1 with water. He hung in there for a day more but that was it. I wish I would have known what to do to try and save him because it’s eating me. I’m thinking he may have had a respiratory disease because the last half hour or so of his life he was seemingly gasping every 30 seconds or so in between breathing shallow. It kills me to think he suffered, I really hope not💔 Your content is priceless and I hope anyone with a bearded dragon takes the time to do proper research on caring for them and finds your channel

I don't know how many videos I've watched about BD care, and I can tell you, none of them hold a candle to your explanation. Keep at it, the quality of the information you're sharing and the delivery is fantastic. And I say this when I have no intention of owning a BD =P.

Great informative video, my man! You explain everything very well, so that it is easily understandable, and you could use this video as a textbook on bearded dragon-care :D And of course, it never hurts to have a lot of footage of Bubba - he is a show-stealer :D

planning on getting one soon, these vids have inspired me to wait til after winter so i have plenty of time to set up a dope ass enclosure for it to keep my beardie as happy as possible :D

Great video - very clear and concise message. Our daughter is doing research for a bearded dragon… your video has got me up to speed 😂 thanks 🙏

A friend of mine recently bred her bearded and wants to give me one hence why im here. I am excited but looks like ill have to save up for all the needs first!

Adopting a new bearded dragon from a co worker that can’t bring him with with the move of a new apartment had them before but love watching these kinda of videos!

I have to tell you how much I love you right now & how much I appreciate your links directly to what to buy and whats best for them ! YOUR AWESOME!!!! Im getting one for my kid for xmas but we all know ill be taking care of it lol and being somebody who knows nothing this was an amazing informative video to come across! Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you!!!! Subscribed deff!!!! 😂

Thank youuuu. Your videos are helping me learn what I can do when I buy one. I made a deal that I would learn alot in order to have a baby bearded dragon. So thank you!!!!

Ty this helped a lot! :) I was super nervous (and still kinda am lol), but this helped a lot and for sure gave me confidence to raise my first bearded dragon! :)))

You are the GOAT on guides

I watched this already knowing what I needed to do, but looking for more info (which I didn't really find tbh, I'm actually proud of my knowledge) but all this 10000%!!! Some of it actually made me sad, far as the space they need, not keeping them together (lest the smaller dies), and more. Learned these the hard way, and anyways this is a great video for information! I'm so happy for this video, thank you for this simple easy to understand video!

Thank you , this is useful information . I'm alway6s learning something new when it comes to these interesting reptiles.

Thank you I have been thinking about getting a bearded dragon for awhile.

Nicely presented, sir! Thank you!

Thanks for the video, like all the info you give, jus got my 1st beardie.

I watched this before I got my bearded dragon and according to all the comments this will help a lot! thanks.

Hey the substrate you make is exactly the same substrate I make for my tarantulas, good to know I don't need to do anything different there. Also awesome very informative video.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It helped a lot.

Excellent video! Thank you for making this content.

This is such a brilliant video. We are looking to buy a bearded dragon and how to look after one carefully and properly. We already have a royal python but the care routine is very different so thank you for the great video! 🙏🏼

Thank u so much! I have always wanted a bearded dragon, so i love this vid thanks a lot!!❤

I'm so new to this BD Thing BUT OH HOW I LOVE HER & WE DEF... HAVE A CONNECTION.. But this is all truly appreciated AS I NEED TO LEARN Her As Much As Possible To Make Sure She Lives Her Best Life CUZ I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER

thank you appreciate all this information so helpful

Very good video. Just got a fully grown bearded dragon. No idea how old it is. Was left in an apartment that the tenets were evicted from. So now I am trying to learn as much as I can about it. Thanks so much

Great video thank you !

A friend of mine recently adopted a small dragon who was severely underweight, and also very impacted due to living in and eating sand, that took about 2 weeks to clear using 4 hot baths per day and some mineral oil. Her dragon is finally eating healthy again and gaining a lot more weight, but due to the severe malnutrition the beardie will sadly never reach her full adult size.

Great video - thx! Mark.

I haven’t got through the hole video yet but am I able to just catch some wild bugs and feed it. Like crickets worms grasshoppers and others thanks for the video🎉

I’m just a little confused about what you do for heat at night? I’m assuming you dim your lights? This is a fantastic video tho! My family got a 5-6 month old a few days ago and already made mistakes. Glad we’re correcting them so soon. Hoping to keep him happy and healthy.

Oml I’m getting one for my birthday Saturday and I’m really exited wanna take care to it and cherish it🤣 my dream pets are reptiles of any sort mainly bearded dragons and snakes Thankkk uu fir this videoo

Would love to have a bearded dragon someday this video was very helpful!

I am a first time bearded dragon owner, I’m nervous because I want to make sure to take care of it the RIGHT way ❤️

Hey man I love your videos, really really good information. Me and my roommate finally decide to get a dragon. We got a starter kit in a few essentials but we just want to make sure we're doing it right. Little anxious about the temperature being just right and him getting the right amount of UVB. If I send you a picture of what we got going on could you give me some tips on how to take care of the little guy 🦎💚

This has got to be the most expensive animal 😂😂 but thanks so much this has been the most productive 18 minute long video

great vid!

Wow this is a lot to keep track of. I'm still gonna give it a shot tho cuz I always wanted one. Better write this all down 😅

Love this!! What about shedding and bathing please?

Thanks this is helping me convince my parents to get me a beardie

Subbed. Thanks for all your uploads. I haven’t looked yet but have you made a video about where to buy a bearded dragon? I know most people say from breeders and not pet stores but crazy question what about from online breeders?

you’re a LIFESAVER.

Thank you your video helped a lot I’m thinking about getting a bearded dragon also u know how long fancy bearded dragons live for?

I'm getting one that's already 5 years old bc my mom's old friend was giving it away so now I'm doing research

I'm so glad I watched this video. The pet store told me everything I needed to hurt our bearded dragons. They said 2 dragons would be perfect in our 10 gallon tank. While we are now going to buy 2 larger tanks now I do have 1 question. Since they are too small to find out if they are male or female yet, if one day we wanted to mate them, what are the do's and don't since they should not be in the same tank?

Sweet video. Do you have one on color changes and their neck getting fat or fluffed up?

I would love for you to link some of your videos on how to build your own tank. I have aluminum tubing with connectors that I’ve use for bird breeding. I’m thinking I can use this and build my own cage.

I want one so bad. But I would have to have you to build his habitat with all everything he needs😂😂because I'm not creative enough 😂but I love these lil dudes ♥️

Hey thanks for the very informative video. Regarding substrate, I saw you mention in the comments that some people use just play sand for the bedding. Does it have to be a certain kind or does any work. There’s concern for silica in certain brands but if I just clean it and let it dry/air out would that be okay? And if all else fails is using paper towels as bottom okay for adults? Thanks again.

2:56 I saw this at petsmart a few months ago. Two lil bearded dragons on one jail cell, one ran up to the glass and stood aggressively, the other one in the back looked sick and skinny, with little to no coloring

Adopting a 2 year old Bearded Dragon, I’ve only had one lizard in the past, a uromastyx, thankyou for this guide it’s perfect!!!

Thank you so much for this video. It has really helped ease my mind. I have a 40 gallon premium kit currently. I've have a 120 gallon on the way. I've had my dragon for 3 weeks so far. Do you think my beardie is ok? The new enclosure should be here within a week.

Hey CSU,can a juvenile bearded dragon skip a day without eating? And how many crickets do you feed a bearded dragon? Because i just got one yesterday

My daughter's family has a 2-3 year old female, I pretty much take personal care of her. I recently started taking her for walks twice a day by carrying her, she turns beautiful orange, i would like to do do more for her, what are your thoughts on a harness for walking, and how do I get one?

What sort of tools do you use to measure the UVB, humdity, temp ect...? I dont have a beardie yet but would like to get one in the future.

When choosing wood for a tank what are your thoughts on drift wood along creeks and rivers?

Can you send a link to where to buy the UVB light for the 40 gal

I was told a 40gal for a baby bearded was too big. That if i did get one i would need to divide the space. Is this true? I’m starting to feel overwhelmed with getting on for my son. But i will be watching more of your videos!

I just got a bearded dragon and i have most of the essentials i just want to make sure the heating is right so what do you recommend is like the best things to make sure of when getting a light?

Hey bro what’s a good temp for them at night time !? And what light schedule do you have yours on

im a big fan

Hiii I just got one yesterday and I got a 50 gallon and I leave enough food for her to have 9-1 until I get from work and then the heat lamp off at night

Yes mate I've watched a lot of your videos and you no he'll of alot! I really need to ask you I just got a bearded dragon 3 days ago he's eating good but there one thing he's spending a lot of time in the corner should I be worried

a realy good way to get a cheap on it to by 3 peices of 48 by 24in ply wood but one of them in half and then use glass for the front part its is alot cheaper then buying a 120 gallon tank

My parents are making me research bearded dragons rn so I know that I’m up to take care of him Waffle will be mine

Google has told me so much bullshit thank you for making it super clear on how I can take care of my bearded dragon. Could u make a video on how I could make my bearded dragon less stressed? I just got her n it seems she is super stressed

Brumation question. During the winter months Australia can definitely get below freezing with the occasional snow storm. But in an enclosure with lightning (4×2×2) they can bask daily at 110° so technically they shouldn't go into brumation right? Or is it just like a biological clock and they're like "oh its cold outside of my enclosure time for nap?"

Thank you so much for this video! I plan to gift one to my brother for his birthday! Do you have link where I can buy 120 gallon tank?

You have to be one of the best people I have seen on RU-vid thar actually knows what they are talking about. Only thing for me is I use a T8 and no loose substrate. I was also told since in captivity we should not let them brumate since they are getting food and supplements every day. Otherwise, I applaud you on a fantastic video!

How many crickets should an 8” juvenile have a day/month? We are about to get one & this part is unclear. They also said not to feed it for a day or 2 so he can acclimate; do you recommend this?

We just got a bearded dragon from a friend and it may be in that broomation stage that you talked about but how do we know for sure? Also how do we know if he's at a healthy weight
