behavior

Today, I put my bearded dragon outside on my chest in direct sunlight so he can catch some UVB due to my UVB bulb being broken. After a few minutes or so, I formulated the brilliant idea of giving him a little walk. So, I decided to put him down on the dirt part of my backyard. Immediately after...

Before I start, I need to establish some things. I got my first ever personal pet today, a bearded dragon. I have never owned my own pet, nor do I have any pet experience under my belt. I got my bearded dragon today (4/27/24) at PetSmart. I have a 40 gallon tank that came with the things I...

I was gone for 13 hours today because of work. And left my baby in the care of my family like I usually do. I usually feed him around 9:45 and remind them to do so at that time. Today I forgot to remind them so they fed him at 5 pm about. He doesn’t seem to have eaten much of, if any, of the...

Just wanna know so that I know when to take Swordtail's "Girlfriend" (plastic beardie figurine) out and when to put it back in

im only on here checking if everything is okay with my beardie, people online saying they can be very active and running around while out of the cage when their in a new environment, ive had mine about 1 week now and has seemed to take a liking to me, hes very active in the cage running about...

Hi all, I have a 4 year old female dragon who recently laid eggs for the first time, this led us to finding out she is a girl. Eggs were removed after with no problem. She is healthy, good weight and has everything she needs and had handling almost everyday. Recently for the past few weeks she...

I got my beardie a little over a week ago. i’m not sure the gender or the age. i have two different lights i use the first one is a 150W basking light and the second one is some type of night basking light. i’m not sure the wattage but i think it’s 100W. i turn on the night one right before i...

So this morning, my bearded dragon was running around on my bed and decided that the tag on a stuffed animal would be a fun thing to eat. It was a fabric tag, so he didn’t eat any of it, and I just simply pulled it out of his mouth and put him back on my lap. He then proceeded to vigorously...

Hi! i’m back with a lil update on Spike, and i’m kinda worried :/ He was doing fine until about this past Tuesday. The weather has been a little cooler, cloudy and rainy, but i’ve noticed he is sleeping like A LOT and it’s been behind his log hide and once found his head inside the log. He’ll...

Hello, first time reptile owner looking for answers. So I’ve had my BD for a couple of months now. I’ve handled him many times before, but recently he’s been opening his mouth and seems scared whenever I try to reach for him. He’s never really done that before and I’m not sure if it means...

Hello, I have 2 rescue bearded dragons. My boy is Ridley. He’s approx 3 years old. He came to us after he was abandoned in a rental property. He was not well handled and terrified of just about everything. Fast forward today, he’s the biggest cuddle bug I’ve ever seen. I was told he had...

Hi everyone. I know I’ve been posting on here a lot lately since I joined the site, but I’m so very disheartened right now and don’t really know what to do or have anyone else to talk about it with as I don’t know anyone else with a beardie (also my whole family thinks I’m dumb for worrying so...

Hi all! I have an 11 month old (est) male beardie and I'm a little concerned with his current behavior. Now I did move out from my parents (finally!) to an apartment a little over two weeks ago. During the move I gave him superworms since he loves them and he will gladly eat them. He's back to...

Hey there, I have about a 4 and a half month old beardie. I’m not sure what’s going on with him. He is constantly glass surfing in a frantic manner and occasionally head bobbing rapidly with it. He will run back and forth and up and down his hide/basking spot. I try to hold him to take him...

Hi! Sorry in advance for the background - I've got a 7mo old female bebe I've had for only 2 weeks. She came from a not-great home, so she's not well-socialized, and wasn't on the right diet and feeding schedule for a juvenile beardie. However, after just a couple days with me and getting the...

I have had my female dragon for a little over a year now, I’m not sure how old she is since I bought her from OfferUp. Recently I moved her into a new tank, this tank had previously housed another beardie I had that passed away. The tank had been cleaned with soap and water as well as rubbing...

Hi guys, I just have a quick question/behavior observation. Today it was warm enough to take my beardie outside, it is his first time outside ever so it was very closely monitored. Overall he seemed to enjoy it and would run away from me when I tried to bring him in (he doesn't usually run from...

Hello all, My 3 year old female beardie seems to get nervous whenever we look at her. Her eyes go huge and she twitches/straightens up. She's completely fine with being handled and moved around, but I suppose she doesn't enjoy it. How can I get her more comfortable with eye contact/our...

Tigger is my oldest beardie, he will be two years old on August 15th and Mando will be 1 year on May 18th. I am in a slight predicament. Their cages are across the room from each other. When Mando first arrived home (late January), Tigger went BEZERK..like I never seen him act like it. Running...

Hey guys! I am a recent first time owner of a Bearded Dragon, and while everything for the most part has been fine, I may have royally upset my Beardy on accident. A couple days ago I added a new hammock to Mushrooms enclosure, he didn't do anything with it until last night. This morning I woke...
