3 Tips| The First Month Of Taming Your Bearded Dragon!

I hope Blue becomes more tamed

my bearded dragon is so calm around me (his names Spikey), and loves being hand-fed. he ALWAYS climbs on top of my head and onto my bed.

Perfect timing. I’ve had my girl Bumpy for a month now and she’s still unsure about me. She’s 5 months old now. It seems I’m still earning her respect. She seems curious while looking at me from her enclosure but quickly runs when I try to hold her. But, she’s eating from tongs regularly, and basks most of the day so she seems healthy and happy so I guess I just have to be patient. A question I have though is that when she runs from me, should I try to be more aggressive and go after her so she gets used to me holding her? Or should I keep doing what I’ve been doing and just stick to small head pat wins until she trusts me more? I want to be patient but I also want to be able to handle her so I can clean her enclosure more often and give her baths to help with shedding.

My only thing is I have a cat and kinda worried if I get mine out to hold and if he jumps off my cat will get him or it runs away. I’ve only had her for a month so still new to these please help me figure out best ways of taking out of enclosure

Blue lunges at you….😮

I rescued a bearded dragon that was abandoned on the streets in my neighborhood. I know for a fact she was out on her own in Texas heat and storms for the minimum of 2 weeks but no one technically knows how long. She was pretty much wild and extremely defensive. When I bought her home I made sure she had everything she needed. I have 20+ years of experience with snakes and lizards. I agree with you 100% on the steps. I just want to add be confident. I had to let her calm down before I even tried to handle her (first 24 hours) but that whole time I talked to her, I did everything you talked about. Once she showed signs of acceptance I would take her out around bed time and let her lay on me while I relaxed on the couch. That was within 3 days. I've had her 9 months and she is the sweetest and I trust her with everyone that comes over to my house. My next steps are walking around outside with her. That's going to be interesting this spring/summer. Can't wait but those steps are important.

My Girl Cheeto was never mean or scared i would hold her since I got her never left her side and now i stick my hold head in her tank and give her kisses ..lets hope blue gets better for sure...my girl is spoiled rotten she loves to chill with me plus she runs the house too thanks Elion..

P.S Love that mask

Hi! I got another dragon and he's young but he has a ravenous appetite. He constantly bumping his nose and it's red now. What should I do?

Hi there so I have a important question. I have a beardy and I feed it very healthy foods and avoid crickets or anything that can pass diseases. When should I be worried or how can I tell if my beardy has salmonella? I like holding him and sometimes lettin him chill on my bed but I just don’t want to get sick. Any advice please let me know much appreciated!

Mine gets pissy at me and always runs away lol. I’ve had it for almost 2 months as too

Hey do you have any bearded dragons available for purchase

Great video

Are you breeding any bearded dragons?

i was very lucky but unlucky with my beardy she loves to be held she falls asleep in my palm i’ve only had her for 45 days or so :)

Hello, quick question. Do you leave their salad in the enclosure all day or for a set amount of time?

i just love u .... u do know blue hates u lol

Lamira I had to let her come to open door now when she wants out she comes to door she a trip stays in her bridge grandfather skull 💀 she by my bed waits on mama to say night my therapy baby spirit of MU lermeria 👁️😜🌌 Thanks brother shes hand fed gifted from my wolf sister along with Tiny and gecko I'm baby sitting gecko he big baby love my babies.

We held my sister's baby dragon from the night she got it, ignored all the advice to allow her to settle in, she is now a cuddle bug 3 years later.

My girl Celie is a phycho. She lets me feed her and she is all about the food. But you go to pick her up she gets mad. I take her out a little but she freaks out and bolts. She is my problem child. She’s about 4 months old and I’ve had her since she was little baby. Any suggestions?

Been watching a lot of your older vids as well as these new ones and I gotta say you look great man! See the grind

So these steps would work for a bearded dragon who is about 6 months old according to the shop and who was never really handled ? Long story short , I got him from a local shop for free , he was returned for whatever reason , is highly skiddish and you can tell he was never really handled. Only had him going on two weeks now, every time I get close I get the flared out beard and hissing. (I’m basically new at this) I’ve had a dragon about 16 years ago , a baby one who sadly didn’t do well and never got any bigger then 5” but I was also young, had no money to provide the proper equipment. This time around I’m completely set up for success lol. Just need to break this guys anger issues!

I just got my bearded dragon yesterday and pocked him up today for the most part he was very calm

Ive had mine a couple weeks. Hes been doing really good with the tongs when feeding and also being in the enclosure cleaning and such. He does pretty well worh being held but every once in a while he gets a bit squirrely

Hi new sub, I'm getting a bearded dragon this weekend that's not tamed. I didn't really want it, but challenge accepted. I'll probably be reaching out for help lol

Hey, I’m new to your channel. Recently I just got a new bag beardie from pet smart. Can you make a video on Handling, & Caring for a baby beardie? Thanks❤️

Baby*

I got my beardie in feb, he was tiny. I handled him every day multiple times for the first couple months, I started work & couldn't handle him as much, he then hated me! For months I've been working on getting him to let me hold him, he used to get really mad, today was the first time I was able to semi hold him (I had a washcloth over my hand) & he climbed right on me. I didn't take him out but held him inside his house.. we're slowly getting there. But it does take a while. I've managed to get him out before but he freaked out & I was scared of him biting me.

Can you show us some 2/3 month on bearded dragons

Our little boy Elliott came home three and a half weeks ago. On the first day when we met him he came straight to us and my gf and I took this as a sign of both curiosity and friendliness. Apparently it was just curiosity, lol. Three weeks later he has started hissing at me when I go to remove him from his canopy for feeding time. Most times during morning feeding he does not come down for his food, unless he missed dinner, so I carefully grab him to bring him to his enclosures substrate. He then starts hunting his dubias and mealworms. Anyway, the first week I did leave him alone and then gradually started working with him. Last week I started bringing him out and onto the couch with us. He is now almost 12" and was 9" three weeks ago (wow) and has gone from 0.8 oz to 2.5 oz in 21 days. He will lay on our chest on the couch with his eyes closed, but not for very long before he wants to dart away. It is easy to see that they are not very naturally tame creatures, but can get there with time. I just hope the recent hissing at me doesn't mean I am doing something wrong. My GF and I really love him and we have gone a long way to making his home the best it can be. Anyway thanks for the amazing amount of information you have been providing us.

I love your videos. It's giving me a lot of good info. Thanks!!

Its gonna be my first time i hate bugs i had iguanas n i didn't give them bugs only fruit n lettuce but i love the dragon im learning so much cause im getting one soon but i want as much as info as possible
