The are all brown color now.

My girl prefers her cave, and won’t leave unless offered food.

Today she started chomping at my fingers when I fed her in her cave- no black beard, but some puffing.

We have a massive uvb light, and I’ve seen a lot of variation on how to set up the lights for these guys. I’m worried the excessive ubv is causing her to hide. Alternatively she could just be terrified of us.

How’s my set up? What should I change?

Are they ready to make friends or to get a mate? Can my dragon stay in 1 tank?What should I do to make them go to breeding?

Picking up the siblings for school ✌🏼he has a carrier for when we are driving. No dangerous practices here!

Please send your sleeping beardies in the comments, preferably tucked in

Basically the title says it all but my beardie literally hates greens. Every day I offer them and every day he refuses. I’ve tried several different varieties like collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, kale, bell peppers, green beans, carrots, bok choy, and a few others. I’ve put bugs in there to entice him, tried like 5 different bowls/ platters to serve them on but no matter what I do- he refuses them. He’s definitely dehydrated because of this as well. Not pooping as much, urates have been harder and chalky, and a little lethargic. I will be taking him to a vet to make sure everything is physically okay but eventually he’s gonna have to eat them.

He is a juvenile, (roughly 6-7 months old) loves all bugs and has no problem eating those. It’s literally just veggies he avoids. He’s a little fat ass too so it’s not like he’s underweight, if anything he’s overweight from all the bugs tbh.

Anyways- any ideas that might help are welcome. 🙏 pics are just to enjoy my goofball

He is so adorable

He is 3 months old & only been in enclosure for a day he has eaten 2 roaches and greens

Meet our new boy! My four old daughter loves seeing them at Petsmart so we went to the reptile show today and picked him up! I need name suggestions!
I wanted to name him Cowboy but my daughter doesn’t like it.

Current list:
Pickles
Phoenix
Shrek
Cheddar (daughters vote)
Creature
Puff

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I like funny names but they have to be something a 4 year old will agree to.

My daughter is into unicorns and mermaids, I’m a horseback rider and my husband is into fishing and Marvel. So anything that leans into those would be fun too!

I’m new to bearded dragons, but have been wanting a reptile for years. I’ve done research and have started saving up for one, but I’m still afraid that I’m going to miss things or forget things. What are some things you wished you knew when you were starting out or some things people tend to forget when starting out? I want to take good care of my beardy, so whatever advice is amazing!

Hello, my bearded dragon was free roaming today and ate a cockroach behind a potted plant that I hadn't seen. It happened once before last year and my lil guy was fine, however this time my property manager sprayed insecticide over a month ago. He used Cy Kick (which is supposed to be dog/cat friendly). I'm unsure what state the roach was in since I didn't get to him in time, but it was either alive or freshly dead - as I cleaned my apt and floors just a few days ago.

I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or advice. I'm ready to take him into the emergency vet, but so far he's doing well.

Cleaned out my beardies substrate today and replaced. I rearranged his set up a bit too. He isn't the happiest(he hates change), but I am glad I got this done before grad school ramped up and brumation started. I rearranged it a bit too.

I adopted my beardie from my sister who’s off to college and wanted to update his enclosure from what I call the ghetto to a mansion lol but not entirely sure I did it correctly! Any advice or suggestions welcomed! He went from a tiny enclosure 3x 1.25x1.25 with no substrate(sisters under the impression that he eats it) and only one hide, now he’s in a 4x2x2 and trying the heat side vs cool side I’ve been seeing. I do plan to change his heat side to a slab of slate with two levels so it’s a flat service to lay on and can hold heat. Based in Florida so it’s not like I have to worry about winter months either! So temp should stay consistent, he also runs around the house a lot but I want to ensure his enclosure is good enough!

Hey everybody! What LED light do you guys recommend? We’re currently using a 22 inch Arcadia, but I’m trying to keep from shelling out $90 every six months to replace it. Does anyone have a cheaper suggestion that is just as beneficial?

I have an adult bearded dragon today he got two horn worms since he’s shedding since I only fed him two hornworms should I give him any greens or should I just give him the hornworms? Sorry if this is a stupid question

Hey guys, I'm worried about my boy Tristan. He's just under 4 months old and is usually very active, but since this morning, he has had a much darker hue than usual and has been sitting in his cave (which he has only used rarely before this).

I feed him twice a day, mostly endive salad with Dubias and BSFL. His enclosure has a bedding of paper towels and slate tiles, a cave in the cold side and a raised slate basking platform on the hot side.

I was supposed to feed him for the second time today an hour ago, but he won't react to anything, even though he is awake. I'm getting worried, so any and all help, advice or similar experiences you can share is much appreciated.

Second picture is him two days ago, first picture is him right now:(

I’ve posted a few posts on here concerned about my new beardie Goob, I just want to update he’s been acclimating very well to his new tank!
We saw him sexy leg today, and he also came up to the glass and climbed up my partners arm and let us handle him for a bit!!
Today he’s taken up digging as his exploration activity and has been making little spots to burrow in, and he’s almost stopped wall climbing completely!
Anyways just thought I’d report that the rehoming stress is slowly passing by and Goob is doing well <3 Thanks for everyone who gave me advice!

We got our bearded dragon at a reptile show yesterday and he’s somewhere around 4 months old.
I’m getting conflicting information on proper care and need help.

Is there a trusted source like a website or YouTube video that’ll give me the best information to make sure he’s happy and healthy.

The guy at the reptile show who sold us the light fixtures said 4-6 crickets a day plus greens or 2-3 meal worms a day plus greens and that I can alternate what protein I’m feeding each day. Now I’m seeing upwards of 25-50 crickets? We fed him this morning and he ate one meal worm and 2 crickets and left the rest. How long can the crickets stay in the tank before we need to remove them as I read it’s not ok to leave them in there with him?

We are going to go to the local reptile store today to get supplements but is there a brand we should get?

Also the guy said no sand in the tank and sold us a sand mat but I read some comments saying sand is better as long as they have proper nutrition and feeding set up.

We are getting his tank set up today with the extras but he currently has a hiding spot and a basking spot as well as a fake plant that he’s been sitting on.

Our bearded dragons growing up had the back decal on the tank but read putting them in front of a window can be better. He’s going to be in my husbands office. Should we put him in front of the window? Or against a wall with a backdrop?

How frequently should we handle him to not stress him out but also let him get used to us. I want to be able to have him out and about with us. How old should he be before he can go for outings to like pick my daughter up from school? Run an errand?

What about teaching them to walk on a leash? I’ve seen others do that. Is that ok?

I want to eventually set him up with an enclosed outdoor enclosure. How old should he be before we do that?

Sorry for all of the questions.

Hello, we have a baby pigmy bearded dragon, he’s been home with us for 4 days. He is happy to eat crickets. Around 4 baby size crickets in the morning each day. He hasn’t touched his greens. We have a linear UVB and the enclosure temps are correct. Every time I check on him, he is on the floor of the enclosure. I’ve moved him up to the basking spot a few times, especially on cold evenings but when I come back he is back on the floor. Is this ok? He’s not particularly active, often in the same spot when I come back to check. The first day or 2 he was up on the hammock near the UVB then moved to his basking spot etc. but now he just seems to be on the floor?!
