Getting your beardie to bed at night-

[Stefanie.prince]

Does anyone else's dragon demand to be out of his/her enclosure at bedtime? To fall asleep cuddling with you? We've had our adult rescued girl almost two weeks now and she loves to fall asleep at night on my daughters bed under the blankets lol.. She likes to be covered and her face also covered. Then we transfer her to a bed in her enclosure.. She never even wakes up its the cutest thing. How does a typical dragon sleep at night!? The first two nights we had her she glass surfed at bedtime and was going crazy in her enclosure until she passed out on the floor. Then she fell asleep on us the following night and we've let her since. Spoiled I know..

That's awesome! Well we let our beardie sleep with my daughter last night and she stayed in her little bed next to my daughter all night! I call her beardie because she still doesn't have a name!.. We can't decide or agree on a name.. I think I'll make a post asking suggestions

It's better to wait to see what their personality is like and what their gender is. ...... Zen started out as Pandora (my girlfriend though he was a she lol)

 

[Stefanie.prince]

Well she's a female around two years old (adopted her through a small rescue) she's definitely a diva but we've had her almost 20 days now we need to name her lol!

Is she a trans? From the profile pic she looks to have solid black eyes. She is a cutie either way

Devlyn will never miss a chance to sleep. It is her favorite hobby. She usually picks a spot in her house to settle in before going to sleep 1-2 hours before lights out. She is serious about bedtime. No nonsense. Just bedtime

I like the way she thinks lol

me too! and i've always been a firm supporter of naps. often wondered how we get onto the list of countries that do some sort of afternoon siesta. i think we all need it!

I been taking a nap on my lunch break for 30 years or more lol. I refuse to drive far or sit in a drive thru it cuts into my nap lol

All five of mine are out every single night, usually 3 of them are crashed out on me lol. If i have my 4 year old male Zen on me the only other one i let near him is Snicker Doodles. My two rescue females (both 3ish y.o.) like to snuggle on the same hammock, they actually scoot as close to each other as they can get. And my new male Sinatra i keep well away from Zen but he LOVES to snuggle. He likes to snuggle with the girls too.(he is 9 months old so i can let him for the most part)

i would be so scared to roll over and crush them, do you just not move at night?

I don't have them in my bed, i have some cool little cat hammocks i set on the couch, they start out there but usually end up snuggled under my neck (or half way up my face lol). The girls actually will get as close to each other as they can, they don't try to stack up just pack in like sardines. I have a big wrap around sectional, i keep my big male in his own hammock on the other end where i can keep an eye on him. (He is monstrous at over 1000 grams, he could kill my little male in one bite so i keep the little one close just in case).

At the same time every night, about 9p.m, Mr. Dragon will get off stick and wait for me to pull him out, like he knows its bedtime. But even if we have him on the bed, he will roam free until I put his little blanket on him (I made him a blanket) and as soon as I do that he will knock out. Like he knows as soon as the blanket comes on then its time to go to sleep, weather its on the bed or on my chest, he snuggles into whatever soft thing he's on and closes his eyes. After about an hour or two ill transfer him to his bed inside his tank and he doesn't even wake up. He'll re-adjust to get comfy again in his own bed then he is out for the rest of the night.
I have to put him back at night because I'm a very active sleeper and will crush him.

You are not alone. I do everything exactly the same!

Me to x's 5 lmao
Two of mine (Snickers and Sinatra) actually seem to get their feelings hurt if it's some eles turn to snuggle with me. Anyone who tells you they don't get jealous has either never had beardies or didn't spend time with them!!!

I was terrified I was going to roll over on Rocky- I got him a dog bed so I would feel that first. Rocky crawls out of the bed. I remember freezing up the first time he crawled on me to cuddle, he rested across my heart but his tail felt like snake across my neck. I was in awe and scared at the same time.
RIght now I write without Rocky next to me, then there are other nights when we are inseparable. He's going through shed so he's a little moody but I forgive him. He's very clingy in the day but he will run to the enclosure at night.
I let Rocky run the show but always look forward to beardie cuddles. Rocky gives me the most love in public when people look at him. Rocky is basically in my neck that you cant see him. He would be a part of my skin if he could- but hey, I take the cuddles any way that I can.
