Bearded Dragons - 27 Rad Facts! Dāv Kaufman and Clint's Reptiles 

Big news from Clint's Reptiles! We have good news, and some potentially bad news. I'll start with the good news. We got a P.O. box! People have been requesting one for a while now, so we finally did it 🥳 Clint's Reptiles 770 East Main Street #127 Lehi, UT 84043 If you would like to send a LIVE animal - FIRST: please send us an email to make sure we can take it in. clintsreptiles+LIVE@gmail.com We will be doing some live mail openings in the near future, and that should be a lot of fun! And the bad news. Today's video will be the last regular Wednesday video for a while. We will do some live streams on Wednesdays (probably one a month or so), but AFTER today, we will only be releasing regular videos on Saturdays. Thank you so much for making Wednesday videos a success these last few months! We will definitely return to making Wednesday videos in the near future, we are just going to slow down for a bit to get ahead on filming, to give us time to increase the quality of the videos that we make, and to relax a little so that we don't burn out. We love making these videos and, more than anything, we love you guys! We want to be sure that we make the best content possible and that this channel continues on for a long, long time.

So awesome to do this colab with you! We will have to do many more in the future! Rattle On!

Printing the complex words like "Polygenic" and "Leucism" at the bottom of the screen is really cool. It gives the viewer a head start when it comes to typing the word into google to learn more. Very nice.

Dav is like .... Aquaman but... Reptileman, and at least as handsome.

I wish Clint could teach my college classes, I retain so much more information from these videos

I loved this! Dav is such a fun guy! And you two make a perfect lizard-geek couple

I really think that some pictures would go a long way in making these videos better. Just some examples of the things you are talking about. Great video overall though.

Henry Lawson is on the ten dollar note

Just 2 guys with an obvious passion for these awesome creatures🤩You can tell this isn’t scripted at all, just talking about stuff they care about. Love how genuine this video is and all the knowledge!❤️

I just rescued a bearded dragon with half a tail 🐉 he's living his best life now!!!

My Lizzie dragon has had a hysterectomy. Last February (2018), she had eggs she couldn’t pass. Her vet was on his way to vacation, but stayed several hours over to do her surgery. She came through splendidly and is nice and healthy. She’s also plump. From what her vet has told me, this is due to a slowing down of her activity and her metabolism. As long as she’s healthy, she can be a little ‘fluffy’!

I came over from Dāv's channel and I subbed! You guys are awesome!!

Nobody: Clint Laidlaw: Well hi there.

Hey Clint your collaborations with Emily are awesome and now you’re collab-ing with dav?!?! This is awesome 😎

Thank you Clint for getting me into reptiles

Dav doesn’t know what to do with high energy Clint. Haha. Love both of them.

Yeah, greatest rad fact video everrrrr. I hope these collabs never end!

This is one of the most informative videos I've ever seen on any topic, and what's rad is that your enthusiasm somehow lets me retain more. I had a chemistry teacher in high school who had the same gift... it's rare and special! 💕

Speaking as an owner of a 4 year old Rankins Dragon. They are ADORABLE

I'm *so* glad that you said that about the reptile brain! I've had a ball python for a couple of months, and I can already tell that we have *seriously* misjudged the reptile brain.

Obviously it's pronounced "Amphibolurinae", not "Amphibolurinae". On a serious note, this style of video is great! Would love to see more stuff like this.

This was a lot of fun. Thank you, Clint and Dav. This was a good episode and I learned a fair amount. I watch your channel as well Dav and find it very entertaining. Take care and have fun!

The outtakes at the end 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for a fun start to a dreary Monday morning!! You guys are awesome!

This are the kind of videos that I just love so much watching. Learning something from people that actually know and on top of that, they're entertaining! Thank you guys so much for this, you guys are such an inspiration for other RU-vidr and reptile keeprs

You guys had to much fun. Good colab I really enjoyed this one. Hope to see more in the future. The two best herpnerds on RU-vid for sure.

This episode was totally RAD Clint! One of my favorite ones yet😄 As usual I learnt so much and it made me proud to come from the Land Down Under😉 So awesome! Encore please!

These collabs are amazing! Always great stuff from both of your channels!

Your reptile information is wonderful, and helped me talk my grandma into tolerating a lizard in the house. And it helped me when she said ‘but not crickets or roaches’. Now I have an adorable uromastyx! Still shy, but making progress!

Levi is so sweet and chill, and I love that she accepts just being pet and handled and climbs up onto you. What a wonderful beardie.

There's a 10nth species hiding in Dāv's hair. Surprised Clint missed it ;)

Thank you for this, just came over from a beardie care guide! Great collab, thx for the rad facts

Dav and Clint together in one video?! This is better than Christmas 😱 (don’t tell Christmas 🎄)

Stop teasing me with those adorable Rankins Dragons 😭

And still the best animal RU-vid channel

I have 3 dragons all rescues. They are my first reptiles and I adore them! They all have very different personalities and I really enjoy them. I decided to get my first one after watching you then coming across a dragon who needed help. They are thriving now. I never thought I would be excited about keeping a roach colony either!

Awesome-awesome-awesome content! Really enjoyed learning about the behavior and intelligence of this wonderful species! Thank you!!

It all started with a bearded dragon for me! I haven't kept a reptile in my adult life. When I was a teen, I had a retail boa... That unfortunately met an untimely death after he escaped his enclosure 😬. My husband and children convinced me to get a bearded dragon hatchling. It was all over after that, I was hooked! We now have 2 beardies, 2 day geckos, and an Ultramel Ball python. Love watching both of your channels! 😍

watching these two nerd out talking about the morphs was so wholesome

Haha! Loved your comment about humans assessing animal intelligence. It brought me back to a debate I had with my husband recently on how smart some reptiles are and I had to pause the video until I was done laughing. Thank you for that!

Two of my favourite people collaborating and discussing my favourite reptile. I am so spoiled.

I live in Australia and have owned both central and Pygmy bearded dragons. I absolutely love the classic dragons but being able to have a dragon that can fit in my hand even when fully grown is amazing. Just way too adorable

Wow! Love this collab!

Hi Clint. This has been one of my favorite bearded dragon videos, by far and I've logged over 100 hours ov bearded dragon videos at this point. Many are just silly shorts but those video was great!!

Another awesome collab! Bearded dragons are so great thanks for all these rad facts! 😄

So awesome. I love learning more about one of my favorite reptiles. Great collab. Also love the poetry connection, as I'm a poet and English professor!

I always adore seeing the outtakes. Please never stop adding them in 😂😍

This is the best collab ever! Rattle On!

Thanks for featuring my babies Michelangelo and Blizzard! 😁😁😁 this video is amazing! 🖤

I had a Beardie when I was younger. One time when I was feeding him and holding a cricket he bit my fimger but it didn't hurt at all. I also knew he didn't mean to! He was the sweetest lizard and he was always happy to see me!

Yeeeeeeah!!!!!! Your channel will soon have the success it deserves. this video is great, as well as all the others :)

Can’t overstate how much I enjoyed this collab ❤️ Two of my favorite RU-vidrs. Who’s Rankins Dragons were featured?? Adorable!

I wish there were more photos and videos to help me follow along sometimes. Great video anyways!

I did not know their was 9 species of beardies. I have a leatherback. Her name is also Lettie and she is missing all but one toe on her back foot and all her fingers on her front hand and it turns under. She was hurt due to cohabing with a dominant female. She is very resilient and has made a good comeback.

Aah man I am a massive fan of both you guys! If you ever want to join me in South Africa on an epic herping adventure let me know. Rattle on!

I didn’t know about all the species of beardies, yet, they are really amazing and I’m looking forward to get one someday

TOTALLY RAD colab video!!! 🤘 The end bloopers are hilarious!! 😂 Thanks for the laughs!

Thanks for all your hard work Clint I love your collaborations hope you have a good day! 😊 I also did not know there was 9 species that is such a stinking rad fact

I love bearded dragons. We used to have one as our class pet back when I was in like 4th grade or something like that. Lol

Fantastic discussion. Thank you!

It's so interesting to hear that they're active at night! I currently have two and as soon as their lights go out, they're done. They won't even eat if I wake them up. My female will put herself to bed right around the same time every night, even if she's out of her tank. My younger male is a bit easier to wake up at night but he still likes his sleep at night.

Its always stinkin rad when our favorite youtubers collab

I feed my insects in a blue bowl because mine are kept bioactive and they see the bowl and KNOW it’s big time. My husband walked by with a bud light can and they went crazy 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

I had a hypo citrus leatherback he was amazing I loved him he was such a bright orange 😍😍

Great info! Would be cool if you had more pictures or footage of all the morphs/species you mentioned. Love your videos Clint.

I love these videos. I wish I could attend one of Clint's classes or tune in via zoom.

This is a great collab

I will trade you jobs any day, sir! This video definitely improved the end of my work day. Painting trim and watching reptile videos...one of my greatest pass times 🤘

Little fact correction Henry Lawson was on the old paper $10 bill but he isn't on the current notes. The man on the current $10 is A. B 'Banjo' Paterson another bush poet and the man who wrote Waltzing Matilda. Great video as always.

I srsly love ur vids so much!!!!!

Cool video Clint! Greetings from Chile! 🇨🇱😄 Here you have a South american herp keeper :D

Hey Clint this was a pretty good video and I’m glad that we are able to get more information about these amazing agamids out there, especially the different species which my Aussie friends tell me about all the time. Although I do have one issue with this video and I saw it mentioned in the CWD video, which is that agamids cannot regrow their tails. I have seen first hand with my Chinese Water Dragon and others dragons that their tails can regrow in the form of a stiffer black and slightly slimmer “rod”. Now I am not sure how many species can do this, but until proven I am going to assume that most can do this. I do theorize that it is more common to regrow as younger in their life, but the process of regeneration is there. I hope that we can get for research done on bearded dragons and other agamid species because as popular as they are there really isn’t a lot of studies done.

“Bird brain” and “reptilian brain” are terms that should be used to describe intelligence rather than stupidity. I absolutely LOVE Bearded Dragons!🦎❤️🦎

It was the best thanks again for sharing luv u both ❤️

"'Sup! No beef." Need that on a T-shirt!!

Ive had my beardie for 8 years now. He is part of the family now everyone loves him just as much as the dog lol

I love Bearded dragons they're so cute

Love how he cuddling your hand.

I have a pet octopus have been a keeper for a few years now! Love them and they are so much fun and way smarter and sweeter and just so much more than they get credit for! They do have very short life spans but they have very full and fun lives! They are such fun and amazing creatures! Not for beginners tho for sure expert only! But I just got my first Beardie this week! It’s my first reptile and I’m having so much fun!

Speaking of how smart they are, a week ago I started to teach mine to come to me when I call him.. And he does now. It's incredible :)

Awwww he wants to be near you..his one lil leg on Clint's arm..so cute

I knew of 3 species, assumed there were others, but was surprised to hear there were 9! Best number, that one 😁

Beardies are the best! My first lizard was a bearded dragon. Great video btw, keep up the good work!

One stinkin rad fact you missed: Bearded dragons have a third eye on top of theire head!

EPIC Thank you gentlemen!

I love my beardie, his name is Bartleby and he’s a bright orange translucent leatherback. He is so squishy compared to my normal type rescue dragon! I had no intention on spending 100+ dollars on a bearded dragon when I was looking for one at repticon, but I picked one up and he wouldn’t leave my hand. I took it as a sign I should just spend the big bucks ;)

Can you do a vídeo about pink tongue skink . I love your Chanel its my favorit

I have reptile-carpet in my enclosures but I also have a shoebox I cut in half full of sand. I also have an large root/tree like structure in my enclosure. Three different types of surfaces for them to choose from. So when my beardies feel like going on different substrates/surfaces they can. They have all thrived. I have never had any problems or deaths. I've been keeping beardies for a very long time. Give them plenty of choices and enrichment. It's not right to take advantage of our animals. Love the channel and i really love Dav K.

Our young bearded dragon always does the long slow wave whenever we take our chinese water dragon out. Even now that he is outgrowing her.

This is so awesome, we are looking at getting a bearded dragon.

Personally, I think that as keepers, we want to keep them for their entire lifespan, which is good. For most people that means a solid substrate like tiles and reptile carpets. I personally use a silicone-type mat for my bearded dragon Meep, because I want him to safe, and not have the risk of eating loose substrate. But that's just me and my own method to keep him. He still has enrichment in the enclosure...even though he's lazy and doesn't use it 90% of the time, it's still there for him to use at his will. I also don't use sand because the dust that it produces, actually makes me have an allergic reaction, so that's another reason why I refuse to use sand. I have thought about placing a "digging box" in his enclosure, full of eco earth, so he can dig and have more enrichment that way too. I don't think that baby bearded dragons should be housed on sand, but if you know what you're doing, and you have the knowledge to watch out for the signs of impaction, then feel free to house them on which ever substrate you choose. The other thing I do not agree with, is those dyed sands. You know the sand that's green or purple; usually Stop sign Red. The dye in that sand just stains their feet, hands, tails, and bellies. To me it just seems stupid to get this beautiful bearded dragon, and then have them get green dye on their bodies because the owner wanted to have cooler looking sand than the conventional brown or white. Trust me, I've been one of those people, telling people to stop keeping their bearded dragon on sand, and being mad at those who actually think it's okay. Now I've come to realize that people can and will do what they want, for their animals. And heck, if it works for them, then so be it. Because I know what works for me, and they know what works for them too. Now I just simply don't say anything unless I can see clear signs that the dragon is not well.

Thank you so much for doing a video about an Australian reptile!!!

I thought I knew about bearded dragons. I stand corrected! 😀 No I had no idea there were 9 species! This video was AMAZING! I've learned so much, thanks guys, great collab! Such a fascinating and fun episode. Dav you truly are an encyclopedia, your knowledge of reptiles is outstanding! In fact it's Rad!!! 😁👍🦎 And you too Clint! This is how young people should be learning. You two should open a herpetology school - you'd be the most popular teachers ever! 😀

You are correct Clint! Sailfin Dragons are in the agamid family. And the largest of the Agamids. Genus “Hydrosaurus” for all three main species. (There is a supposed fourth species hailing from Halmahera, but further research needs to go into it)

When I brought my bearded dragon to meet my family, they were all amazed at how calm and curious he behaved. He just loved to be on my shoulder listening to everyone talking. Prior to this, my family would barely allow any reptiles around. Now at the very least they're OK with lizards :)

I've got a bioactive enclosure set up for my beardie, plenty of logs to climb around on and a basking mountain/cave for him, it's a red Australian sand/dirt/clay that I moistened when I put it in so it's a nice packed crust with just a little loose on top, I try to feed him off the substrate, but he wants to chase and hunt, so I give him what he wants and he seems happy as a lark, I'm not worried about him missing because I've seen him snatch flies out of mid air when they venture into his enclosure when the door is open, so he has the aim of an A1 marine sniper lol, I've had him in there for a week now keeping a very close eye on him, and he is still pooping once or twice a day and his appetite has actually increased substantially in the last week, now he is eating more like I've heard a young beardie should eat, I know, young beardie on loose substrate is a no no, same with mealworms, tho he's about 2 months old at this point, but from the scientific literature I've read and medical studies done on captive bearded dragons, I'm not worried because all my husbandry and supplements are on point, he doesn't even eat any of his shed, so he doesn't feel he's missing anything in his diet that he needs to supplement, and in the month I've had him he's only missed 2 days of not pooping, he poops at least once a day, even on the loose substrate, if not he's actually had more days of 2 poops a day in the last week than the first 3 weeks I had him combined, and they are healthy from what I've read, except after feeding him a nice size hornworm, then he passes a couple semi loose stools before they become normal again lol, but they are full of water tho, so he's happy and healthy and that's all that matters, going to be setting up his first vet appointment tomorrow to take him in and get a check up and fecal just to be sure, just gotta try to hide the fact he lives on loose substrate from the vet so I don't get an ear full lol, she already said nothing but repti carpet, but I'm well prepared for a scientific conversation with her about everything I've learned, he may have been an impulse buy, tho I've wanted one for a while, but I don't take the care and life of another living being under my care lightly, I'm a month in or so already and I'm still watching videos like this and reading literature to learn as much as I can about them to give my little guy the best life I can, so I am making as well informed decisions as I can

Beradies are the cuteness .i love them so much ❤️🤗

I personally switched my dragon to sand for a couple reasons. He kept getting under his carpets and newspapers and whatever but no matter what I tried hed scratch and get under it and he was glass surfing on top of it. I took a plunge and decided to try and see if maybe a more loose substrate would help and he seems happier to dig around! In fact he likes to baricade himself in his hide which i think is adorable. But it definitely helped in his case maybe not all dragons but thats always a case. He seems to dig whenever but i have less of the loose substrate near his food dish and more of a rocky slab stuff (not sure what to call it) cause it seems to help him shed as well having some stuff to scrap on rather than just his hide and his tree to his hammock for climbing

Hey Clint, can we ever maybe get a video in Blood pythons? I'm considering getting into them but almost every video I find, there's conflicting information, and 9/10 your advice and information is quite accurate.

Looking back through some old videos to get some beardie infos! I had no idea there was more than one specie, let alone 9!

Please do a science video about venom🙏🙏🙏
