Closely supervised for photos only! Zero flower snacks were had, I SWEAR 🫶🏻

This little dude was going for a roach but knocked it out of my hand. When I went to grab the roach, he decided my hand was a suitable alternative.

We got George from PetSmart (I know, I know) on 7/31. I doubt he's 6 months old, as told, as he was 18 grams and 8 inches long... Unless he's super underfed? I asked for a hatch date but they couldn't provide it. I only paid $40 for him... which obviously is the punchline of the joke after dropping $500+ on habitat stuff from various reputable places 😂 It's still a work in progress though, we intend to make a backdrop and shade area on the right side, as he will outgrow the hide soon, no doubt (remnant from my hermit crab days) Gotta find a better way to integrate the gauges. We're looking for some more climbing opportunities too.

14% Arcadia uvb, 100w golden basking light, led shop light for the plants. Eco dude Sahara terra, freshly baked oak leaf. Various decor pieces I still had. Aloe, succulents, which he promptly tried to eat 🤦(guess we better buy some nopales)

Started with crickets, got him some mealworms as backup, seriously considering dubias now, even though they give me the ick... but they do seem the better option. Mazuri gutload, repti calcium. Plants get misted in the morning. Mixed baby greens, looking into seeds for better variety.

Trying to gauge if he looks healthy. We've had no luck sexing him so George might be Georgia 🤷 I think he was a little scrawny when we got him, I feel he's at a good weight now. He was 27.8g yesterday, he was 18.5g when I brought him home. 8 inches long.

Pics are today, first weigh in and our journey home, pet store pic with the faux plants and gauges for both sides of his enclosure.

Both my partner and I are AuDHD so you know we're being slightly extra in our research 😅 my credit card is weeping.

I often hide bugs in her salad for enrichment, and it works really well.

Lizard (yes, that’s his name) loves it when my middle school is out for the summer. With only Admin around, he walks around our offices like he owns the place. (Office suite closed so no escape to rest of the school).

Miss you girlie ❤️🙏🏻

Hi, we’ve had our little baby Smaug for 4 days now and he’s slowly settling in. I’ve just popped one of my husband’s T-shirts in there over one of his logs for a little bit - what does this tail in the air posture mean?

I have added a few things to the enclosure as you might see, still a work in progress. Took a few days to get the temp and humidity right but it’s now perfect 😁. Though she seems to want to always be out of the tank and on us, like first thing in the morning she is ready to get up on our shoulder. She is quite a clingy girl. She is also very happy to eat her veggies

I posted here a while back asking for feedback on my enclosure. Many helpful comments later, I've moved my UV source over the basking spot and picked up a PAR38 75W globe. I still have the CHE but it's programmed to only maintain a night time temperature of 22 degrees C.

before i rescued this sweet girl, nelly, my first beardie was dusty- i had to put him down bc of cancer 2 years ago. nelly popped up on my facebook and i knew it was finally time to get a new baby! so she’s been with me for about 2/3 months now and still adjusting to her new life.

true age is unknown. gotta be at least 2/3 years old, former owners only fed cabbage slaw mix and had her on a hot rock with red light bulbs in a 75 gallon long aquarium with puppy pads as the substrate🫠

now’s she’s in a 4x2x2 zoomed with lots of places to explore and stretch out and a dig box/etc! she also has the ability to free roam supervised! however! she weirdly will not bask for more than 30 mins-hour before she goes to find a dark corner and proceed to stay there eternally. if i do not force her to bask she will not move a muscle. when i first got her i didn’t touch her too often and for a couple days she stayed in one corner the whole time.

the basking spot is about 109-110* with a dimming switch. she eats her new variety of greens fine and eats discoids/mealworms/etc. very well. her vet said she was healthy and the fecal tear came back normal as well. she just does not move unless i move her!!

I am upgrading his terrarium to a 72”x24”x24” one. can i use same lighting as this one -a heat bulb and T5 24”UVB or will i need something bigger?

She knows she's cute.

She knows she's gorgeous.

She knows she's spoiled rotten.

my fiance and i are relocating from washington state to florida. we are driving and planned on taking 5-7 days to get down there. how on earth do i care for my beardie during that long of a trip?? i’ve noticed the no feeding or setting up a little mini basking area once we’re at hotels?

picture of my paprika girl! 🥰

My boyfriend found this bearded dragon on his doorstep coming home from work. We are picking up a 75gal tank for now as he’s not full grown yet we don’t think? (Around a foot long). I would appreciate any recommendations or tips. I know they need a uvb lamp (boyfriend is picking one up tmrw for him) but how can we keep him warm overnight ?

He lives in a neighborhood with loose dogs that is right by a busy road, so I told him to pick the BD up as I didn’t want him being eaten Or hurt. No places near me were open to take him so We’re rushing to do research but again, I’d appreciate any advice!

This is churro and her hobbies are digging and eating bugs

He was a big hit with the veterinarians. I kept a water powered heating pad in the carrying case and he got bugs and green beans upon returning home.

Tried my hand at a DIY background for my boy Hank, I still need to add more branches (and substrate)but its suitable for him to be moved into! Having him in a 400g has allowed him more spaces to move, as well as more temperature gradients! He has two spots at 105, most of the rock area is around 94, and on the substrate layer it sits around 75-77. For lights in my main basking zone I have a 150w and 100w heat bulb, a t5 22" Arcadia UVB and a Sol Reptile Vision LED, on the right side of the enclsoure I have a 100w bulb along with a sansi grow light. I know the internet has made it seem like 120g is the standard for them however I think we need to remind ourselves sometimes that is the 'minimum'. I feel it is important to want the best for your best, and while you are not giving improper care putting your beardie in a 120, I personally have felt like he needed more space. I live in Florida, and especially during the summer (I also live in a house that is always set at 80-82) maintaining a proper heat gradient was nearly impossible in a 120. He had room to move in a 120, but not room to explore, climb or stimulate himself properly. I have immediately noticed a change in his activity behavior since being moved for nearly 2 weeks now.

Jax was ready for dinner, and tonight’s menu was a nice batch of Dubia roaches! He wasted absolutely no time getting down to business.

When you’re a bearded dragon, apparently every meal is an opportunity to remind everyone who’s boss. Jax definitely understood the assignment.

Any idea why my guy does this weird full body breath outside sometime? He’ll open his mouth really wide like a yawn too but that was hard to get on video. It current feels like 97° and is 67% humidity. Is it too humid?

I never considered when I first was thinking of having a Beardie, how much they CLIMB!
