Many of you have asked for a simple and easy place to find all of the supplies that we carry and recommend. Here they are. And our promise to you is this: We will never carry supplies that we wouldn't use on our own animals here at C.B.C. Every single product that we carry, we use. So as Philbilly Tubbalard would say: "This right here be the place to git yo reptile stuff..." www.coldbloodcreations.online/supplies
That is why we make em. We get hundreds of question about reptiles each and every week, and time simply will not allow us to answer each one. So we decided to do care videos so that people can view at their own leisure and learn valuable care information about their beloved pets in an environment that is not hostile to newcomers. Our character Philbilly is answering questions in this comedy skit, that is often the way newbies are treated in many reptile forums. Sadly, unlike Philbilly, they are not kidding. We hope that many people will have great experiences with their pets because of our videos. And maybe even get a good laugh every now and then. Thanks for watching...
I just got my bearded dragon. All I really had to go off of was the information my friend knew when they researched how to take care of bearded dragons (they got a bearded dragon and that’s where my love for them grew). Watching your videos makes me feel so much more confident that I’ll take the right steps to ensure my bearded dragon is well taken care of and loved. ❤️
Have had my beardie Bahamut for almost 5 months you two have been a wealth of information even thou i did 6 months of research before getting him, I can't thank you enough!!
Great video! You guys have helped me with my new beardie so much! I’m a new owner and I appreciate the tips! Without you guys, I would be taking incorrect care of him! Thanks so much guys! Have a great day
I might be getting a beardie soon and your videos really help me learn about how to take care of one, I often struggle with my attention span but the way your videos are structured really help keep my attention on the video! Thank you so much keep up the great work!
Love your videos.... and Philbilly is hilarious 🤣... thanks for answering my question. I did cut back a few mealworms and give him crickets so he can hunt. He’s spreading the wrong way... lol 🥴🥺
Hello fellow reptile enthusiasts, If this video has been a help to you. please check out our merchandise above. Or check out our full line of Cold Blood Creation merchandise here: teespring.com/stores/cold-blood-creations
Love this channel taught me a lot I'm even gonna be breading mealworm thanks to this channel so I can gut load them with oranges :) 2 weeks till I get my dragon I can't wait I still have 1 question tho at what age do they grow wings and breath fire? ;p my old boss has got it coming lol
So far I would have to say that this is the best and most informative channel I have seen. You have truly been very helpful. My bearded dragon 🦎 and I thank you!❤
I’ll have to look thru your videos and make sure it’s not already covered but I got my dragon from a friend, full grown and the age is unknown. I was told “at least 2-3 years” ANYWAYS maybe have a video pertaining to care for older dragons rather than newborns? 💚🐉
Do you guys have any tortoises or box turtles available to the public for educational purposes & if so can you ship to Birmingham, Alabama (next door2 u guys 😉 )Thanks 🙏
I’m new to your channel, I just purchased a baby dragon from a local breeder (I live in SouthEast Louisiana) I’ve been watching tons of your content and yourself and your daughter are by far the most helpful and knowledgeable reptile enthusiasts on RU-vid, and I’d just like to say thank you for the extremely helpful content. I do have a question, I’ve notice he has been rubbing his head on his basking rock, is this cause for concern, or is he just at the beginning of a shedding cycle?
I love the information in your videos. We just obtained a juvenile bearded dragon but are not exactly sure how old it is. How do I know I am feeding him enough? We feed him three times a day and keep his veggie bowl full. He hasn't thrown up so far which is good and he poops every 1 - 2 days. He seems to eat anywhere from 10-12 crickets or up to 15 mealworms in one feeding. We remove anything he doesn't eat within ten minutes.
I feel special, when I got home with my beardie, I went to put him in his tank and decided to "pour" him out of the container from the pet store into my hand, and he laid there and closed his eyes like he was falling asleep, I haven't seen anything resembling aggression from him in the 4-5 hours I've had him, he might just like me, he did get excited when I walked by him at the pet store, I wasn't even planning on buying one, I was there for flea spray and joint medicine for my senior dog and walked out with a bearded dragon and everything I needed to start out 🤦🏻♂️😂 along with the other stuff I was there for of course, now I need to come up with a name for him 🤔
I love the Philbilly skit, but on a serious note, I bet this was at least somewhat based on reality. I used to work at a mom and pop petstore. People would come in and see an animal and the first thing you would hear is, "Well BIGBOXPETSTORE has 'em for cheaper..." And after wasting our time answering their questions they would leave and some of the real cheap asses would go buy from BIGBOXPETSTORE. Then these same people would have the gall to come back asking us to help them with an animal that they didn't even purchase from us and get MAD if we didn't answer their questions or told them to go back to the store they bought it from. These people are parasites. They want all of your time and knowledge but give nothing in return. And they think they are ENTITLED to the same care that we would give to our actual customers.
Hi, my bearded dragon occasionally goes periods without eating much at all. He is around 4 months old. I have all the right equipment for his tank, and he is a very friendly and happy dragon. I feed him crickets and mealworms (varying) and salads and he does not seem to go to for the salad much at all, and sometimes will not eat any crickets or mealworms. I mist his salad and make sure to feed the insects calcium supplements. Are there any reasons to this behavior? There is always food offered to him, but he occasionally stops eating for a day or two, and then continues a regular eating pattern for a couple days. Do you have any insight to why this might happen?
Use the right size bugs (no larger than distance between dragon's eyes), vary their diet (dubia roaches, hornworm, silkworm, superworm, whatever), and dust with calcium in addition to gut loading. Finely chop veggies, use lots of variety, and don't offer bugs in the morning so they'll eat their veggies. You can offer just plants for a few days if they still won't eat plants, but your dragon is still growing and needs lots of plump bugs for now. If they stop eating and it's not because of hibernation, ask a vet. But yeah, long story short, do your research.
Hello! I have a bearded dragon that is dominantly grey and black in color. But his head and two of his left limbs turned yellow. I am worried that he might have Yellow Fungus. Please lmk what you think.
My bearded dragon is as healthy as can be but there's one problem, he seems to be afraid of heights. Every time I pick him up he swings his tail in a circle, flattens out and spreads his legs. But when he's on my shoulder he's completely fine. He only does that when I pick him up with my hand. It doesn't matter how close to the ground he is, he always does that. He has a good relationship with me I just don't think he trusts me picking him up even though I've never dropped him. I don't know how to fix this, can someone please tell me?
Thank You so very much for all the wealth of dependable information you provide. As new adoptive parents of an adult Bearded Dragon, you have been our only source of trustworthy information. We really appreciate the time and effort you take to educate people who may never purchase from you. You are just offering a needed service out of goodness. Thanks. BTW; Phil-Billy is the only part of your videos, that I don't love. But then, I was never a fan of The Three Stooges either. I do love that you sent me the Million $ Gospel of John with my first order. Maybe Phil-Billy would be just as funny, if he'd watch his language ❓
Hi aside from dragons being housed together. How can you get two dragons more so male, male to be in separate enclosures, but even though they are not housed together ...will bonding them everyday together outside of their enclosures ever be safe or possible ?
I know that this is a topic that has been hashed rehashed and then asked again, but... I have a bearded dragon and a Russian tortoise and there is so much conflicting information out there as to what vegetables they can and cannot eat for various reasons. It seems that there are the obvious things to avoid such as onions and lettuces of different types but other than that everything seems to be up for grabs. For example doing my research on some sites they say it is okay to feed spinach and others say no some say it's okay to feed broccoli or cabbage others say no. Some say beet greens are great others say no they are dangerous . This whole oxalates thing has me confused. I would request a video on this specific topic of what you can feed and should not feed bearded dragon or Russian tortoises. I trust in your experience and your information that's the reason I am asking you to to make a video on this topic. Thank you and I will be watching.
what bedding do you recommend for a dragon because after quarantine we are going to get one. also will you do a video just about setting up a natural dragon tank. thank you love your channel. I am dependent on you to get my first lizard. thank you
My bearded dragon "licks" me and my clothes. From day 2 of having him, he's always kinda acted like this. He is always looking for attention from me. I noticed he doesn't act this way with other people such as other members of my family. He also poops on me sometimes. He does poop in his enclosure so it's not like he's refusing to go in his enclosure. Does this behavior mean that my bearded dragon is comfortable with me?
Someone told me that any kind of bug that has freshly consumed oranges are toxic to dragons. I've been feeding my dragon orange fed bugs. Should I stop feeding the bugs oranges or is the group I heard this from wrong about this? Thanks for your time.
What you can do is gut feed any of the insects oranges as long as 48hours before feeding feed them something like carrots, it will make them same to consume for the bearded. Good luck
What is your opinion on bioactive habitats for bearded dragons? I would like my future dragon tank to be green with living plants and a realistic looking source of water.
Bearded dragons need humidity between 30 and 40%, any more and they start getting respiratory issues. If you want standing water, get a turtle; they love that, a beardie probably won't.
@@trinityturner7188 @ kinda want to tag along with the vitamin question, i am new as well. I got the powder and the instructions are meh. It just says put crickets in a bag with some powder and shake it. Now they look like powdered donuts. And then i tried to grab em out to put in the tank for my dragon and had pwder falling off my fingers. Plus they jumped in his water dish so i had to save the dumb crickets from drowning. I now know to take the dish out. But still a bit unclear on sugar coating the crickets with the vitamin powder. Also if i switch to just meal worms like 1 of his videos recommends do i coat the mealworms instead? Its my first day and the crickets LITERALLY WERE stright up white when i dropped em in the dragons tank. I know powder falls off as they move around the tank so i am not sure if i over did it or not. Sorry i just dont want to make my new buddy sick cuz im a putz😕
Like he said, use your common sense. If they don't eat it all, eat and vomit, or gets kinda fat, reduce the number of worms next time. If they're losing weight (scales that measure in grams are all over Amazon) then offer more. An adult should be eating more like 20-30% bugs and 70-80% vegetables, so really focus on offering a variety of tasty plants.
That's right! But you've probably got the wrong idea... ALL of our products are made from animals that died naturally. We do not believe in killing animals for their skins. We are involved in the herp hobby, as you said, and we know plenty of breeders. Unfortunately, reptiles do not live forever. When said breeders (or sometimes pet owners) have an animal that dies, rather than throwing its body in a dump somewhere, they bring the deceased animal to us so we can preserve its beauty.
