Bearded Dragon Enclosure Upgrade! 

And now there’s a 40 gallon yet to be spoken for 😏 the never ending cycle 😂

I would just suggest a t5 tube light. That light doesn’t produce the amount of uvb they need as a desert species. That is probably why he’s not as active. I didn’t have the right light and mine acted like yours. But I got that exact zen habitats enclosure and I got a 12% t5 Arcadia light and mine is way more active. Also would suggest some top soil/play sand so he’s not sliding all over the enclosure. They have substrate shields for their enclosures. Especially because he’s older and it’s hard on his joints being on a harder ground.

Now Dude just has more spots to be lazy in.

Dude is like my dog! Always just sitting around! Love your videos and hope Dude likes his new cage!

The enclosure looks absolutely amazing, hopefully dude enjoys his cage 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏

Do suggest a long UVB tube light of T5 HO so that when Dude leaves the basking light he doesn't have to give up on the UVB. Just a suggestion 😊 you are the pro. See you on your next video 😁

Hope you feel better! I’m sure lazy dude will enjoy his new scenery

Dude sure helped you proofing your point about him being lazy and not needing too much space xD Good on ya for providing it for him any way, looking cool! Gut issues I can relate to, so get well soon then and lucky you for not looking too shabby even when sick...

I hope your pain passes soon! Great enclosure! I use solarsun for my iguana!

It looks great! I think it’s more aesthetically pleasing as well. I hope dude enjoys it :-)

Dude is so cute! He'll probably like the space even if he only looks at it. 😂 The shop by me has suggested dwarf bearded dragons as a good starter reptile, but I'm definitely going to wait to get anything. I can't make up my mind.

Hope u get better soon and good luck with your new bearded dragon's enclosure 😇

The new enclosure looks so goood 😍😍 i bet Dude will love it!😍😍 i hope you will feel better soon lots of love ❤️❤️❤️

this made my heart happy.

Get well soon... Everyone I know is sick right now.. Winter sucks. ❄️

Haha hes such a chill bearded dragon!!mine is crazy and I have to let him out to run once or twice a day!! Hes in a 40 gallon so I have to make sure he gets lots of exercise:)

Nice job kiddo love to put buddy in one of those and sorry you are not filling well get better love your videos kiddo thanks

Ugg I'm so behind on your videos!! I need to binge them to catch up!!! Love your videos!!

That's an amazing size! I would just utilize the space more. Give him more stuff to do, it will probably make him more active too. 😊 There's a lot of hight not being used right now. Maybe it's a cool idea to make a 3d background in the future. Obv a big project so not something to rush. But I think it will make it more appealing to him and you. 😁

oh man. My husband has diverticulosis, not the same thing obviously but I know how seeds can be irritating for him as well /:

Came out nice, dude is a fast mover you just can't tell bc he is super fast lol

Beautiful intro!!

Beautiful home for Dude!

Everyone has different opinions about substrate. For me, it will always be better for my Beardy to use loose substrate but if anybody else doesn't see it that way then I respect that. Your set ups is looking good :)

How are the solar sun bulbs I want to try it bc I have a strip uvb and it’s so hard to find the right type of bulb to fit right on the hood every year or 6 months and I dunno how those are ?

I have a 110gal habitat with five heat lamps (2 ceramic, 2 uvb and one halogen bulb). The temperature is only reaching 85° and my beardie is unhappy and not digesting well. Do you recommend one specific heating source or should I continue to add heating lamps?

That came out great 👍. I’m actually getting ready to upgrade my bearded dragon Sandy and this gave me some inspiration. Sorry to hear not feeling good today. I’d say stick to a banana smoothie with some plant based protein and almond milk. I like using Vega Protein and the more ripe the banana the better for you. Also Drink some golden milk to help with inflammation. Hope you feel better 🤞🤙

Fellow "chicagoan" here. Just stumbled on your channel.

I'm curious if he stays lazy. My Edgar has been super lazy all his life that I've had him (I adopted him when he was 4 and now he's 12), so I thought like you he wouldn't use a bigger cage. But he got more active just from me switching to bioactive so now I'm wondering if I don't need to save and buy him a ZenCage.

Are you going to buy some more things to go in that enclosure? It looks so empty. You will have to let us know if he becames more active? Knowing Dude he won't be we can hope:-)

Awesome!!!

Where can I get that type of light bulb from

Where did you get silkworms?

what kind of light is it

Think vendetta would of been happy that his tank is in good use

I did not know bearded dragons gaped like crocs. Also I am going to be commenting hi on your videos so that RU-vid sees it as an interaction and gives you money. I encourage others to do the same. Just saying hi can help alot. If you want to support youtubers.

Glad he got a nice upgrade! Did you need the spacers when Vendetta was in the enclosure?

My beardie hagrid is turning 8 in 3 weeks

dude period.

Why didn't you go bioactive?

To be honest I never liked the way bearded dragons look like in a 40 it just seems like a tight fit. I feel like they have so much potential to be active. But then again there really lazy. Also how big is the new tank?

I don't know a lot about beardies, so my question is: Why don't you use sand or substrate? My friends who have beardies usually use sand. It looks really good tho & I hope you feel better soon! Ii'm sick too so yeah :/

Hi.

Why the lavender ? Are bearded dragons eating lavender ???

Awww honey. Hope you feel better soon.Stay away from that food that is bad for you. Just my motherly instincts kicking in. You could be my daughter. ;) I'm almost 62 and i love reptiles. I don't have as many as you. Two leopard geckos one crested a corn snake and one house gecko that lives in that room because he got out of his enclosure and i can't catch him! By the way Dude is adorable. I had a beardie for five years but he got sick and passed (cancer). I love them but i just can't get another one. He was one of a kind. Oh i also have three birds three cats and one dog. Love that big enclosure. I just got a Zen 4x2x2. Again feel better soon.

Different color lights can actually hurt them please switch to normal lighting

Hope dude doesn’t jump up in the light

Omg bearded dragons are such smelly lizards. More work than any of my other lizards! Actually sorry I got one. I have an emerald tree skink, 4 crested geckos, a uromastyx and a Russian tortoise but the beardie is by far the most time consuming as far as care. Not a beginner reptile like many suggest
