Hi all! I'm new here, and new to beardies (and any exotics for that matter). I just want to set the stage for this question, please bear with me 😝 I never thought that I would own a reptile, let alone love them as I do my cats and dog. To be honest they kinda creeped me out, and the thought of...

So my 9 year old son and his step brother, each got a bearded dragon about 4-5 months ago at his dads. About a week ago my son told me that his step brothers beardie died and that he was scared his was going to die too. After talking to him and his dad I came to realize that the beardies weren’t...

Hello we recently got our bearded a week and half ago and absolutely love him/her! I never knew how sweet and spunky these little guys could be, it’s adorable! We started out with a 40 gallon tank knowing we will switch to at least at 120 in the future but wanted to get the hang of things before...

Found this bearded dragon by my garage. Asked my neighbors if it was theirs and checked the nextdoor app. No one is missing it so I bought a 40 gallon terrarium kit and I am keeping it. Can anyone let me know its gender and how old it might be? It is 15 inches long. I am feeding it mealworms and...

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to write on this forum instead of lurking in it haha😄 I'm going to be adopting a 6 month old bearded dragon in about a week and I can't wait! I've been doing non-stop research, plus I had old notes from when I was researching about a year or so ago, and I now have my...

Hi! About 3 weeks ago i adopted what i now know to be about a 6-8 month old beardie (thought he was an adult but some awesome members helped me age him), his name is glizzy! Our original set up which was given to us at a reptile only pet store was a Powersun Heat plus UVB. It wasn't getting...

Hello! I adopted a bearded dragon a few weeks ago. She was given to PetSmart because the previous owner was unable to take care of her. They had her in the back room in a 20 gallon tank next to a cage of birds. When she was given to them, she had a case of mouth rot. She went through two rounds...

Greetings!!! I recently took over the care of my grandson's bearded dragon. For awhile, we thought she was a he, until she started digging and laying eggs when my son and grandson took her with them to their new home in the country. Due to some mishaps and negligence on my grandson's part...

My sons and I do not have a beardie yet, but we have been talking about it and are getting ready to make the move. I am 39 years old and have wanted one for many years but have never done it. Before we choose our BD, I want to have everything we need, setup, and ready to go before we ever bring...

Hello everyone. I’m a new bearded dragon owner and I just got a new baby 3 days ago. I noticed that he seems to be stressed out and I’m not sure what to do. I didn’t know they weren’t supposed to be sold so small please forgive me for that. He eats but not as much as he should, maybe 10-20...

So I’ve had my new baby, Orion, for a month and two days now and I absolutely love her. She’s 12 inches as of last week and has just finished her first shed at home (I’m thinking 4-6 months old from her length). I thought she’s been slowly getting used to me and calming down around me but after...

Hello, I’m a new beardie owner. My girlfriend recently bought a bearded dragon that’s 1 years old, The other day I heard some noises from his tank and saw him in the air. He had all four arms on the glass glass surfing being held up by his tail. He’s still not that used to humans so when I touch...

Hi guys! I am 100% new to keeping bearded dragons. I did a lot of research and set up a bioactive enclosure, gave it a month to get going, and last week brought a baby dragon home from Petco (I know, bad place to do that >_<). Now in my research, I read to not touch them for a week. I leave my...

I just got a male Yellow Uro yesterday, so I know about the settle in time taking a bit. What seems odd to me is that he slept on the floor of his cage in the corner and didn't really hop up on the basking rock at all for the day, I placed him on the rock this morning because I was worried...

Hi! New bearded dragon owner here! We adopted a 14 month old Beardie. They were sexed as male at a young age, but we think they might be female. Taking to the vet to confirm. Wanted to share my tank setup and routine and see if I should tweak anything. One or two questions about substrate as...

Hi everyone, this is Milo. My wife and I just purchased him from our local PetSmart. We are doing our best to give him a loving home :) I am curious if anyone knows what his coloration/morph actually is. PetSmart labeled him as a "Red Morph", but I haven't found any conclusive evidence of...

Hello! I have had Olive for a year and a half now, about! The decision to take her into my care was kinda… abrupt. I am still learning and freak out at every time she does something weird and new. Luckily, I have a reptile vet not too far away with reasonable quotes! Here is a picture of her...
